*rolls on the floor laughing*

That is just SO very Colin!

And I loved Lynda's reactions too!

*is still cackling*

It was pretty much my first thought on reading justice_turtle's suggestion. He just wouldn't be able to help himself.

Thank you!!

PS. Would you be up for another beta shortly? I've been typing up (slowly for about 6 or 7 weeks!) a S&S fic that ended up being 5000 words, so I think someone had better check that it makes sense (but not too much sense, or it wouldn't be S&S). I've a couple corrections to make myself, but I think it'll be ready later this evening, or tomorrow. And there's no hurry at all on it - I did start it for a challenge, but the deadline for that was at the end of February. (I just wanted to finish it anyway.)

*hopeful*

Yup! I'm ALWAYS up for beta-reading for you... I'll just corral the plague of plot bunnies in a corner for half an hour or so while I read it! :D

Thank you! I've sent it now. Hopefully you'll like it - at least it's not B7 this time! Nothing very much actually happens though; I've no idea how it managed to be over 5000 words.

Awwww, poor Colin! He got kicked out by the Doctor?! :(((((
And yet, very very funny!

[lost_spook]

Nobody could risk taking Colin round the universe. The Doctor should have realised that before taking him. :-)

Thank you!

This is hilarious. Only Colin could try selling things to the Daleks. And I can definitely see him accidentally starting an interplanetary war.

[lost_spook]

Thank you. And, yes, he would definitely cause some sort of disaster! :-)

[dimity_blue]

ROFL! Okay, that is definitely a step up from 'my dog ate my homework'. Poor Colin! Well, no... Poor Doctor, and poor everyone who ran into him.

That was funny. I love that Lynda's all "no excuse!" despite the amazing excuse he actually had. Thanks for the laugh. :oD

[lost_spook]

Thank you! :-)

you. made. me. snort. into. my. coffee!

LOL!

Colin Mathews Enterprises accepts no responsibility for the wastage of any coffee. Or anything else, really. :-)

Thanks!
