*        It’s worth watching, Olga: it was one hell of a show!

        The vaccination went well.   Although the location was … well, it wasn’t where I though it was.   It was on the other side of the Mall.   Granted, it’s not the biggest shopping mall in Essex — that’s still Lakeside — but it’s quite a hike!

†        Hello, Mum!   See you later!

‡        Ahhh … crabs … !   Just as a pointless fact for you, Debbi, the word’s a British English term for pubic lice!   I never did like shell fish!

        Oh … Have you found a US broadcast time for The Power of The Doctor?   And can I make a confession?   I’m betting Jodie will regenerate into David Tennant … and say something like ‘What?   What???’   Or complain he’s not ginger …
