   Master Doctor Mair, you look most fetching in that Tardis.

   Have you mended it then? The Master had butchered up the Tardis last saturday.

   Fantastic!

   Bags me for chisel-jawed but flirty male companion, and can I suggest Appy as cute companion?

   Still, you can easily fit all the Froggers in there, so let's go and tease some Daleks...

    Given the propensity for the TARDIS to arrive at unforeseen times and places I think I have worked out why the newsletter often goes astray

    There are loads of ways to tease a Dalek even though the "stairs" one doesn't work any more...

    "Look at my lovely new *shoes*!"

    "Fancy a jelly baby? Oh, right... no mouth."

    "Look at my lovely new pair of designer shades! Want to try them on?"

    "Hey, someone's dropped a fiver on the pavement, why don't you bend down and pick it up?"

    "Of course gold/grey/black is *so* last year."

    "That Dalekanium armour looks a bit tight, are you putting on weight?"

    Why is defence now a part time job? It would appear that Des Brown is minister of defence and minister for Scotland. I was under the impression that we were fighting 2 wars at the moment. Surely we need a full time defence minister.

    The cabinet looks sort of ok at the moment, though by the end of next week I'm sure we'll all be saying its rubbish. Its not completely composed of the usual suspects, Mark Malloch Brown for Africa and Asia is an inspired idea. I can't believe though that Des Browne has survived at Defence. someone less calculated to inspire confidence amongst the forces I cannot begin to imagine. But other than that, lets give them the benefit of the doubt - well up to the weekend anyway.

    we can see Eddie's Tardis (at TV Centre) along with some info.

    Thank goodness for that Si.

    The annual loops of 'come on Tim' and 'why are Brits so clap* at tennis' and 'will he do it this year' and 'why doesn't he just retire' are tedious and I can't wait for them to be over.

    Perhaps I can start watching now.

    As jonnie pointed out, Eric's other job (apart from becoming a Dimblebum) tonight - excellent (and very shocking and sad at times) programme.

    Well done, Eddie. I learned a lot.

    I was especially moved by the man whose dog saved him from taking his life.

    Thanks for the TARDIS link, jonnie.

    As for 'Defence and Scotland' - is this Gordie trying to downsize his native land in order to see off the (is it East?) Lothian question?

    Wales is bracketed with something. Popped into the ´óÏó´«Ã½ News website but haven't found it yet. But here's a thought, from the website:

    Size:
    Old Cabinet 23, new Cabinet: 22
    Women:
    Old Cabinet 8, new Cabinet 5
    Scots:
    Old Cabinet 5, new Cabinet 4
    Ministers over 60:
    Old Cabinet 5, new Cabinet 1
    Ministers under 40:
    Old Cabinet 2, new Cabinet 5
    Average age:
    Old Cabinet 54, new Cabinet 49
    Sacked, resigned or demoted: 10

    Blimey Frances - I really feel my age now! First it was the policeman who started looking like kids - and now (in two years) I'll be the average age of the cabinet!

    Mind you - was shocked that Piers Morgan is only .( )... It would be indiscrete to divulge but I thought (on Question time) he looked closer to Gordon Browns age?

    Of course, our Eddie, as can be seen in his Tardis shot, still looks so youthful. What's Erics birth date? - Ah yes, - Nov 12th 1975 ;-)

    I wonder Eddie, is this your way of revealing that the DG has resolved the Beeb's cost-cutting requirements?

    Broadcasting House and White City are to be re-located within the Tardis and their existing structures sold to property developers..?

    What a saving..!

    Problem is, I guess that'd be in-the-box thinking...

    What was Eric up to in the Tardis anyway to have a slightly shifty/guilty look?
