I am currently sitting in front of my computer, which is in my kitchen, waiting for something to finish cooking in my microwave.
As I will be eating shortly, one might well wonder why I chose to sign in, or why I feel compelled to share this uninteresting news with you.
Well, I did not know that within 5 minutes of me signing in, my son was going to ask if I fancied something to eat, which I do... because I'm hungry. So, now I'm sitting here thinking, "Don't get too involved with the forum discussions, or at least not until after I've eaten."
"That's all well and good", you might think, "but why are you telling us all this?"
Um, I have no idea. None whatsoever.

Shardovan, fascinating fact for you, but you (and everyone else) have to promise to keep it a closely-guarded secret... My nickname for my son is Moo. To be honest, there are a lot of nicknames (or variations) I call him, depending on my mood... Paulie-moo, Moosie-moo, and also Jesus. The latter only applies when he's sporting a beard and hasn't had a haircut for a long time.
Biscuits, or sweets
Sparkly, do you have ‘afters’? Is that an impertinent question?
The snake ate the Pygmy. I don’t know why. Perhaps she’ll pie
(the snake is female to fit the song - but this doesn’t help the last bit make much sense snyway)
Very true. Also, it takes a skilled eye to know the difference between ‘that’s a longish stripy scarf’ and ‘that’s a Season 15 scarf!’ Or whatever. And thus are the fans revealed.

Agreed!
Did you ever make a sugar sandwich as a kid? Or adult? I used to know a boy at school who sometimes got that as his lunch. I was never sure whether to be jealous or horrified. I confess I have had a sugar sandwich in recent weeks, there was nothing sweet in the house.
The snake bothers you more than the pygmy? I wouldn't actually want either, though apparently snake tastes just like chicken.
Steven , Are you suggesting I wear your leg as a crown? It's an interesting idea, although rather drastic of you to saw your own leg off. Also, we are so used to calling you Simon, so a change of username to something like Hop-Along-Cassidy could cause a considerable amount of confusion.
I think the scarf can just about pass as a normal garment, whereas the jumper probably can't.
That’s so cool. I have no scarf. I’ve never been brave enough to wear the jumper out. I’m very shy, so muted colours etc. i did have a lecturer at university who came into his tutorials in that pullover though (his own one, not mine, obviously) and I wanted to say ‘fellow Whovian I salute you’ but I was a timid mute. So that never happened
For real tho
Cut some capers, man! (Jingling sounds ensue)
Do you wear it in public?
I have a friend who knitted me a replica Tom Baker scarf. I think it's about twelve feet long. She lives in Texas and sent it air mail. She hadn't told me she was sending it and I got a box unexpectedly and opened it to find this enormous multi-coloured scarf! And I have worn it in public!
The cow is of the bovine ilk. one end moo, the other milk.
ogden Nash left out the other crucial component!
SNAKE and pygmy pie? I think I'll be giving that one a miss. [Shudders with horror at the thought]
You've come to the right place!
*saws leg off*
Damn.
To be honest, although I left him alone largely due to my social anxiety, I think there is something to be said for letting celebrities be when they're just going about their daily lives. They're not paid to interact with the public 24/7.
I also have the pullover!
I bought it from a company called Lovarzi I think. It wasn’t cheap but it is an exact replica. Maybe they’re still going? Or eBay might have some
