I'm sorry...what was the original post about? I was so carried away by Martha's tweets and "seeing" her. God I'd love to join in the dissection? Is there room for a biological/forensic anthropologist. I would love to broaden my intergalatic species range. I've often mused on how similar humanoid skeletons are to Homo sapiens. I mean do the Doctor and humanoids have 206 bones? Are they like ours? Does they have carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges? Do they have more foramina in their skull. How big is the Doctor's sphenoid? How the hell do Jack's joints looks after over 100 years. Do they have the same fracturing properties....and I could go on. I mean srsly this is helpful information. What if an alien forensic case is mistaked for a human and brought to me? It happens all the time with animals. I've seen many a tragically murdered dear, cow, and bear ( ... )

Oh, I work it, bone_lady.

In fact, I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it. :o)

bone_lady April 12 2009, 15:33:06 UTC

Ain't no shame...do your thang, just make sure you're ahead of tha game... :).

You can LOL out loud whenever you like(you like)!

T.I. vs Missy Elliot? She'd have him in a headlock before he could pop a second bottle, TRUFAX.

Don't steal Malcom. He is very annoying and is also in love with The Doctor, but so cannot compete with Jack. He would just drive you up the wall.

ask_aboutcoffee April 12 2009, 13:23:50 UTC

He is rather...energetic, this much is true.

And I suppose we can't just sack Hart, we have to wait until he's killed or buggers off or something.

They really needed Torchwood, you lot are more awake, not as tired. I think the prophecy will freak Jack out, but he should know, especially where drums may or may not be concerned.

ask_aboutcoffee April 12 2009, 13:22:48 UTC

Well, then I'm not telling him until Monday, today is our day off. How often am I going to get to wear the pink bowler hat in public? Once a year, and that once is today!

fide_et_spe April 12 2009, 18:45:44 UTC

Oh yes, enjoy the bowler hat. He can catch the news on Monday, or indeed Tuesday after the bank holiday.

Okay, that explains it. I was screaming to the boyfriend WHERE IS TORCHWOOD OMG??!?!?!??!?!?! Now I understand. And hey I was wondering about that guy! He could be fun as your new (sob) tech! So different Tosh (sob) which would probably be good for you guys (sob sob sob).

OMG, London: still dangerous and horrible. This frightens me, Ianto! I will be there in July with the boyfriend!

(Then again, maybe London should be more scared of me, given I am the one who will be doing the driving????? TERROR BY WAY OF FORD FOCUS ZOMG!)

ask_aboutcoffee April 12 2009, 13:49:06 UTC

UNIT's annoyed at us anyway because we stole Martha, so they didn't call us because they're sulking, is my take on it. If anyone could shoot a door between planets in the face, it would be Jack, don't you think?

I'm sure for the average bystander, London is very pleasant. I enjoyed living there, until my workplace was invaded by aliens and my girlfriend was turned into a robot. So the moral, perhaps, is: don't work for megacorporations that deal with aliens in London.

Also if a random bloke in a suit comes up to you and starts talking really fast, do what he says.

*bounce bounce* Oh oh oh! Okay! *salutes* I will do so, on the other hand the boyfriend may try to get surly. I'll try my best to keep him in line. He is a bad one, I tell ya, in the face of authority. bad bad bad.'

UNIT ought to be grateful to Martha as much as they did, is my take on it. (but then, maybe they don't remember that. Retcon Unit ever?)

ask_aboutcoffee April 12 2009, 17:19:28 UTC

The Doctor does have a certain undeniable sexy air of authority.

I think we have a nonaggression pact with UNIT that states that we won't Retcon them or shoot them in the face and in return they don't step on our turf. It works, for now.

hab318princess April 12 2009, 14:24:48 UTC

just a thought about why Torchwood wasn't called, just how quickly could you have gotten to London from Cardiff - it therefore makes more sense to call people who are closer by?

Sorry, but Malcolm: way too manic, but has got guts, stood up to the gun pointed at him...which is always a good thing in your line of work

but whilst you've got the earlier Doctor with you that may just be very spoilerific, could he be quiet in his excitement?

ask_aboutcoffee April 12 2009, 14:26:26 UTC

Well, it's not like we're the minutemen, but the way Jack drives it's only about an hour to London. They could have called us while they were calling UNIT. We'd have got there in time to see the flying bus anyway, and that would have been nice.

hab318princess April 12 2009, 14:33:07 UTC

well, with your equipment I'm sure you've been able to find it, it had to land somewhere... I suspect around a bank or museum

timeagency April 12 2009, 18:51:20 UTC

The Torchwood records should show you a few occasions when The Doctor and Unexpected Flying Things intersected. We have video here at the office and sometimes watch the Nasty Woman In Red for a laugh. Check it out sometime, it was way before your time but I'm not sure which version of The Doctor it was so keep Doctor 9.0 away from it for the time being.
