The Daily Teaser - 22-3-2012

Hmmm …

Well, THAT’S a thing.

Or, at least, that’s a thing for those of us who follow Dr Who, that’s something.

We fans NOW have the official news of the who’s going to be playing the new companion: an actress called Jenna-Louise Coleman: last seen — for those of us who follow these things — both in Emmerdale and Waterloo Road.

Hmmm …

Oh … And there’s a possibility that the series will be split in half again.

I’m not sure I’m found of that: the split sixth series didn’t exactly tickle me … !

Let’s get moving on, shall we … ?

    Hi, Paul! :) *waving frantically* I'm fine. My Internet connection was out all of Wednesday. I've been running around all day today. Barely managed to post to one of my blogs: http://writing4hire.blogspot.com/2012/03/i-feel-no-joy-in-posting-this.html

    I think feathers will probably be ruffled, but someone had to say this.

    I copy-tweeted it to Gene Weingarten. I wonder if he'll be interested. :)

    1. 437 days and 18 hours
    2. the Equal Rights Amendment
    3. No :(
    4. Union
    5. Cairo
    6. Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?

I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.

Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.

Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.

If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.

Thank you.

*   I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
