More miscellaneous.

From the BBC: An Evening With Steven Moffat.

(20 minutes long, and very lovely. Although I hope you get interrupted less often than I did, trying to listen to/watch it. Why must the whole family want to talk to me when I am having some peace & quiet?)

Also from the BBC: Amiir and Family: Somalis in Norway. (The story of one family. Go look, trust me. Will make you smile.)

Via my flist: The Power of Poppies on Veteran's Day (Blog post by American soldier currently stationed in Britain.)

Grabbing a half hour at Dundee Central Library before I head to Glasgow for the Glasgow City v. Arsenal return game. Three dwon from last Saturday, so Qualification is likely too big an ask, but I hope they prove able to beat Arsenal on the night.

Anyway, I spotted the mention of Amiir and family. I was going to send you that link, but the other I tried got treated as spam. Lovely story that. Going to bookmark that as soon as I'm able.

If you type 'Hundreds attend war veteran's funeral after newspaper ad' into the search box on the BBC website you should get the links to a story which caught my eye.

Anyway, hope Miss M overcomes her temporary madness and returns to the Dr. Who fold, but I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing the 50th thing on the big screen whoever is there with you.

Best of wishes,
Ray.

Thanks for the link!

I loved the idea of Matt Smith being a young man assembled by old men from memory!!! Moffat nailed it.

Some very interesting insight into the continuing consequential changes due to the arab spring on the bbc site today.

Might try and write some xmas fics for you and the fam. Give me a couple of ideas of shows everyone is into and I'll do my best.

Rewatched the end two-parter of NuWho S5 again the other day; also the end two-parter of S2 of Buffy.

I mention that only because a fic idea arose in my mind. No clues beyond your own knowledge of those foru eps.

;-)

You should check out stories today on the bbc website about Jennifer Lawrence and women in Afghanistan. They might be worth your posting and commenting on.
