Torchwood and Russell T Davies

In-de-structable.. Cap-tain Hark-ness (kettle drum rif)...

Some thoughts on Torchwood and Russell T...  (turn away if you're easily offended)

Put John Barrowman in a red uniform, give him a Cary Grant-style accent and it could have been that indestructible and indispensable member of Spectrum.  Come to think of it, Spectrum's job was to deal with

Opaline...how lovely see you online at last !!!

Well, I just LOVED "Torchwood" and will forgive Russell T Davies almost anything so long as he comes up with stuff like this ...it was dark, sexy, funny, and exciting, even though it was only a scene/character setting up scenario...

Captain Jack : "He came and went...." ...ROFL - That certainly got me going...Excellent stuff

"He came and went...."

That was funny, but, alas, not a Russell T original. That joke was doing the rounds when I was a teenager:

'Why is semen white and urine yellow? So a man can tell whether he's coming or going.'

(The original was 'Irishman', but those jokes have their origin in the English oppression of the Celts, and the Irish don't appreciate them, despite what people think. Much funnier as an anti-man joke anyway.)

Sorry, forgot to add that I probably won't be staying for lunch on Friday. I'm meant to be in Somerset by the evening! Send me the details anyway though - things have a habit of changing.

That joke is funny every time I hear it, and you are right, it is an old one !!

Hmmm, lunch on Friday...probably at our old favourite Bali-Bali...Janet ( Brummie ) hasn't been there, I don't think, and neither has Pamela (Honeyelf )...and Julie really liked it anyway...

By the way, like a fool, I totally forgot to wish you a very Happy Birthday...I do hope you had a FAB day !!!
