She certainly 'knows' the Doctor's mind as if they've been buddies for years like Amy or Clara, regardless that he's just regenerated. She hadn't earned that.
She’s been with thr Doctor for months! Longer than Rose who got a key pretty quick. Adam got one almost immediately

The defenders of RoP complaining about “gatekeeping” and “snobbery” from those of us who see how the Professor’s story is being butchered?
What??
Fuck!*Runs to bookcases to check on condition of Tolkein books*
Huh … my copies are intact and unchanged. Unbutchered, even! -
Interesting that there’s such a huge time jump between eps 1 and 2.
6 months give or take, as Ruby now counts June/July 2024 ‘her’ time in ep2. And clearly knows the Doctor quite well by this point.Not sure if true, but apparently ep 2 was meant tl be later but got moved to thr second slot to coincide with Eurovision. Not sure of was best choice

I don't know anything about this story but considering how badly Clone Emperor was received this sounds like a bad idea...
One of the antagonists is a clone of a dark jedi called Jorus C’Baoth. His clone is called … Joruus C’Baoth.
There’s also an evil clone of Luke (cloned from his lost hand) called … Luuke.
The books had flaws, and some background stuff doesnt fit in well with the later prequel films. Also no authors had a clue what the Jedi were like, so its mostly quoting Yoda. In the trikogy’s favour,Zahn was clearly enthusiastic, and this does show through. Thr books exude ‘holy shit I’m writing Star Wars!’
Re the cloned emperor, this was done in the EU (expanded hniverse ‘) too, in comics! And is referenced in the novels. It sucked even worse than Rise of Skywalker. Luke goes Darkside and beckmes cloned Palpatine’s apprentice

Did anyone see Harfoots in the trailer? If they were there I missed them.
The trailer itself to me appeared incoherent. But then I was fairly certain that season 1 would be unwatchable for me, and that turned out quite differently -- though not for most of those here.
BTW, to what does this comment refer?
"So 2003"
I’m assuming they’re not in it save for whatshername who went off with gandalf

Man imagine if they made the Thrawn trilogy, as the sequel films. For obvious reasons they would have to recast Luke, Han and Leia, but dam, we would have gotten the best trilogy in the series.
Eh no! It was fone for its time but is massively flawed. Cloned jedi, cloned Luke, ysalamiri (sp), Thrawn commanded too few ships, Zahn basically had his own smuggler and force sensitive to donthe heavy lifting instead of Luke and Han.

Been doing a chronological Trek rewatch (finished a curated Enterprise rewatch), and now onto Discovery season 2. Was amused by the ep where a ‘virus’ fucks up thr universal translator and everyone starts speaking Spanish and other language. Also weird that Starfleet’s response to the arrival of a genocidal despot from another universe was to give her a job.
After Disc season 2, I’ll move onto my first-time watch of Strange New Worlds. I’ve not watched seasons 3 and 4 of Discovery yet but I’ll save them until season 5 is on blu-ray

That’s usually more of a Lib Dem message. Was it accompanied by a misleading bar chart?
Yes!
he also insisted lib-dems have no chance either

Got a leaflet through the door from the local Tory MP candidate who’s gling to great pains to say that Labour have no chance in this area (East Renfrewshire), so it’s either him or SNP.
He’s also gone to great pains to not directly mention that he’s a Tory, the leaflet has no Tory logo or colours. I thought he was maybe an independent at first. -
Does seem odd that Labour took her. A polite ‘it’s not us, it’s you,’ and let her become an independent.
The Tories are bemused, their joke being that there’s thr most right wing person in thr party

I think I have gout
Any family members have it? It can be hereditary. Your gp can prescribe Allopurinal which limits the production of uric acid which causes gout.
Also apparently rapid changes to your diet can cause it rather than just eating certain things.I had a long, bad attack while in South Africa, living on a game reserve for two months. Was eating no junk (save for a choc ice during the weekly town shop) and barely drank alcohol.

Sounds like they did it. By less than 1000 votes. That's the way, crush their spirits.
Some Tories/Tory media sympathisers will be reporting the narrow win as a catastrophe for Labour.
Hell, Andrew Mitchell is already saying that the recount means Street has either won or nearly won, and so it’s a good thing

From what they said on the radio this morning, he isn’t even someone who arrived on a boat, when the main selling point of the Rwanda policy is to stop the boats
Awaiting the revelation that he’s here on a two-week holiday and has lost his return ticket, and decided to chance it

Can you spell burning toast, or are you just on your phone and not paying attention?
Edited now. Was on phone and a work call
What’s controversial about the actual scheme is that its deporting people whose claims havent been approved or rejected, and it’s forced. This guy’s claim was rejected, he volunteered and he’s getting £3k

England sucks so bad we don't have to force them onto the plane, they are going voluntarily to Rwanda.
Thisnguy apparently isn’t even part of the Rwanda scheme. He apparently from Rwanda, lost his application and asked to go back

The Scottish FM job seems cursed. Donald Dewar died (albeot oversaw the Holyrood construction fiasco).
Henry Mcleish had to resign over an expenses scandal (from memory).
Jack McConnell lost to the SNP
Alex Salmond quit after losing the independence referendum and has been dogged by allegations of sexual improprieties, some of which went tk court (tho exonerated).
Nicola Sturgeon quit but soon after was detained by the police and questioned over financial improprieties which has seen her husband charged with embezzlement.

Turns out the "openly Jewish guy" was openly looking for a fight. He apparently goes to all the pro-Palestinian marches, looking for a fight. Twat.
Not a suprise. At Orange Walks, there’s always at least one die hard in a Celtic top who just happens to want to cross the road at that particular time. Or if it’s a republican march, someone in a Rangers top.

How is this an argument? You are basically saying nobody can ever been concerned about anything unless they are equally concerned about everything else and loudly talk about it. Did you even think before you typed that?
Did you even think before you typed that??
A tiny minority of kids cone out as trans. I believe something like 7 kids a year in Scotland are prescribed puberty blockers. But this is somehow a bigger childcare issue than all of the stuff I mentioned??Of course it isn’t. It’s an excuse for people to voice their transphobia while pretending to be motivated by child welfare.
