by Red WolfRose crouched down beside the Doctor. "That's a mystery, then."
The Doctor looked up at her, with a grin. "The up to your armpits in corpses by the third chapter kind of mystery? Or the I seem to have misplaced my spectacles kind of mystery?"
"The second." Rose blinked, making a mental note to avoid mystery novels. "I can't find my nail file."
Wriggling out from under the console, the Doctor handed Rose her file. "I've been using it to clean around the switches."
"Thanks." Rose noted the gunk build-up on the end and handed it back. "You keep it."

Heh! I didn't know you were a DW fan too. :) I must be the last person on earth to have not seen any 9th Doctor eps, mostly because they weren't available 'round here. :/ But I like you fics no matter what. ^_^ — via LiveJournal

Dr Who, I presume? Hmm. Maybe someday I should get around to seeing some of that show. But probably not, as I am a lazy bum.
Once a nail file has been used for something like that, its days of actual contact with fingernails should be considered over. Rose made the right choice. :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 09.06.2005 21:02 AEST |

If you want to see the new Doctor Who, you'll have to download them for now. At least the ABC in Australia have started screening them only a little behind the UK, which is lovely.
Perhaps you're right with the nail file, but I tend to use them for other things. Still haven't learned not to use my thumbnails for screwdrivers, so am probably not the best judge of gunky nail file life expectancy — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.06.2005 21:03 AEST |

Well, once you use the flimsy wooden ones for something else, they're pretty much shot in terms of actually doing anything to your nails. And there's really no way to get guck out of the tiny little grooves in metal nail files. (I should know — I use mine to trim candles. ::grin::) — via LiveJournal

Squeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahem, I too am a great fan of the latest Dr. In the UK we've only got 3 more eps to go and I'm heartbroken. ::sniff:: I think you got the Doctor and Rose well. :) — via LiveJournal — posted by Grandmum at 09.06.2005 21:04 AEST |

Squeeing right along with you. I'm not happy at losing Chris Eccleston so soon either. He's a wonderful Doctor.

Which probably evens out with my not putting away tools when I'm done with them. We won't mention that any of my tools soon gravitate out of my possession and into the garage — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.06.2005 21:06 AEST |

It was just a nail file, I'm sure I could dig something up to really give you the shudders. I guess it's all relative — via LiveJournal

Sweet! nice to hear you're joning the ranks of Who fans. Peter Devison is my favourite, and then i obsess i over Paul McGann's hair. MMmmmmMMmm... — via LiveJournal

Peter Davison was the only Doctor I'd seen all the way through. The ABC started airing (almost) the entire series last year so I got to see the first three Doctors and, fortunately, have started screen the new series too.
I was quite fond of Paul McGann too, but never thought much of the sixth and seventh Doctors — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.06.2005 21:09 AEST |

Oh cool that you got to see the whole Davidson season, i haven't yet because they're been so bad at released Doctor Who and i deprived of all the shiny satellite and sky-type things that people with brains have managed to get. Parents are not into that kind of thing, and frankly i'd have to choose between it and broadband. but when i move out, i might have to get bazillions of extra channels and just not choose between them and broadband. heh.
i thought it was a real pity they chose McGann, who was a great doctor, and put him in a relatively badly produced movie. Making a movie from an english series that has a certain nostalgia connected to tv-budget effects but excellent writing was a bad idea. the effects took control but were not stunning, and the writing suffered. ahwell — via LiveJournal — posted by Pheral at 09.06.2005 21:09 AEST |

The new series aired its second episode on Saturday and it rocks. Certainly enough to warrant me downloading all episodes aired so far in the UK. Got all excited to find that the first DVD is released here in a couple of weeks (it's already out on the UK), so I'll have a boxed set before the end of the year. Yay! Christopher Eccleston goodness shall be mine.
Keep an eye out for Second Coming. I'd be surprised if the US fundies let it in (unless they see the ads and don't actually watch it), but, aside from being deliciously subversive, it's a nice preview for Doctor Who, with Christopher Eccleston in the lead and Russell T Davies writing — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.06.2005 20:58 AEST |
