You nut! :D :D :D

I'm pretty rubbish when it comes to pop music, but I'll give the comp a go!

Heh. Anything is saner than writing fics I would never write for a meme!

And it's Christmas songs, pop, traditional and carols, just nothing after 1984.

I like your laugh-y James/Alesha icon.

True!!

And it's Christmas songs, pop, traditional and carols, just nothing after 1984.

Okay...

I like your laugh-y James/Alesha icon.

Oh yes! Ben and Freema having a whale of a time while waiting for some shot or other to be lined up. I've got a photo from just before that where it looks like Ben's either singing or shouting to the sky - and he's sitting with his arms wide open - it's shortly after that that Freema cracks...

Christmas story! Yay! This is going on the 'to read' list sometime tonight. :-D

Thanks. :-)

(Did I say it's very silly? It's only as Christmassy as, well, tinsel and TV specials, but there we go...)

I've read and reviewed it at Teaspoon. Not sure whether I feel up to spotting song references, since (with the exclusion of proper carols sung properly) most Christmas songs make me want to cry "Humbug!" and then reach for Tom Lehrer and Spike Milligan.

Well, there's nothing in my 'rules' to say you can't do that. ;-)

And there are at least 4 or 5 carols. Although definitely not being sung properly. Given the competition round here, that should do it. :lol:

And generally speaking, anyone talking about snow is a likely suspect.

Um...what's teaspoon?

lost_spook December 2 2009, 19:20:24 UTC

:lol: 'Teaspoon' is short for the main Doctor Who fan fic archive, A Teaspoon and an Open Mind (after the Doctor's words on how he beat the bad guy: "Oh, I had a few things he didn't, like a teaspoon and an open mind.") but the link at the top will take you straight there, anyway. Sorry, the majority of my f-list are on there one way and another. (At least I didn't refer to it as the 'Spoon, which some of us are getting prone to do!)

*watches the cute icon in helpless fascination*

"Oh, I had a few things he didn't, like a teaspoon and an open mind." - I have always wondered about why it was called that! Well there you go.

Oh, this is WONDERFUL. Poor Leonards! I love how they all felt bad for poisoning the aliens... I was half expecting Arnolds to have just knocked them out or something.

As for songs, I spot many carols, but nothing else! My knowledge of 80s music is pretty poor. :D

lost_spook December 3 2009, 17:41:10 UTC

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Yes, poor Leonards, especially since I killed him off in Strange Weapons. :-( (And Arnolds, for that matter!)

Well, if you want to pm me with your carols, you'd win, cos no one else took me up on that (obviously very stupid) idea of mine. :lol:

And it was only songs up till 1984, so there were a fair few traditional ones in there.
