fabled time travel

if your a fan of dr who you will know that some points in time are fixed and can't be changed but apparently the time dr who starts is not one of them. way can't the bbc just pick a time slot  and show it at the same time every week instead of starting at 7.15 one week and 7.05 the next. the bbc must see the logic in keeping the same time slot because they do it with all there major shows monday to friday so why does this not extend to the weekend! this is not a new problem the bbc have had an oddly shifting saturday schedule of some time but to make things that bit more irritating they have stopped telling you at the end of the program what time it's on the next week.
now i know i can buy a tv guide or check the times on line and if i miss it there is the i-player but the question is if the bbc can make there schedule more consistent (and i can't see a reason why they can't) why wouldn't they?
at this point i will say this would probably of irritated me less if dr who wasn't proceeded by shows where the last 5-15 minutes your accidently watching is 90% dramatic pauses.

"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."


the "if i had" i had planned is taking a bit too long so I'm putting it of to a later date and as i was try to come up with a idea for a quick to put together the movie i was watching  on youtube quoted the quote i just quoted this on top of the fact i have just been to a very strange gig and had a conversation with my brother about making helmets (stormtrooper & daft punk)

import export:2


i have just watched the first two episodes of Wilfred staring Elijah Wood Jason Gann but i can't help thinking i should of been watching Wilfred starring Jason Gann, Adam Zwar and Cindy Waddingham
previously i posted that 



since then we have had Angry Boys air on BBC 3 but i don't know why they are now sowing the us version of wilfred and not the Australian original . i never really understood  why it is we let the yanks remake shows, (it's money isn't it) are us audiences confused by the existents of other countrys will there brains not except an englishmen not waring a hat (bowler or top) or a Australian without corks hanging off his. i am shore most Americans are not that thick but there TV executives clearly find it hard to believe.
and if I'm in the UK watching Wilfred USA is Australia  watching Life on Mars USA or Shameless USA . I really hope not

well I'm  off to make a British version of How I Met Your Mother staring Simon Amstell as Ted, Emma Watson as Lily, Simon Bird as Marshall, Olga Fedori as Robin, Stephen Fry as Barney and narrated by Brian Blessed

fabled advertisement


as you may know from earlier posts I'm always trying to scrape a bit more money out of my life one of the things i had avoided doing was sponsored tweets i though what the hell and gave it a go and so far my followers are still following and i have made $0.14 which sadly is better than i get from the ads on my blogs so now I'm getting asking  for your opinion on sponsored tweets.
I'm still not shore i like sponsored tweets and if my income was more stable they would be the first to go (assuming it's not sponsored tweets doing the stabilizing) but if they were hated I'd have no followers and would not have made a whopping $0.14
please leave your opinion of sponsored tweets in the comments

fabled lynch mob 2 The Wrath of Khan

in a comment on my last post i said "i may do a more detailed post about facebook lynch mob soon complete with mug if nothing gets it the way" and here it is complete with mug.
now i'm not writing this to defend criminals my point is it's not for us to decide who is a criminal,or not until we have been picked for jury duty and presented with all the evidence.
for example lets say mr Khan Singh is arrested on suspicion of the murder of James T. Kirk and someone setup a face book page called "Khan Singh is a murdering bastard" what dose it achieve?.. well in my opinion nothing a form giving ill-informed people make aggressive comments with little thought.
lets say Kimara Cretak a post a comment on "Khan Singh is a murdering bastard" saying "someone should tip petrol over this bastard and watch him burn" what good could come out of this? the best cases scenario is nothing happens but there are several negative scenario that could arise.

  • Kimara Cretak's prospective employer may see this comment and decide "i don't want someone like that representing the Romulan empire"
  • someone may tip petrol over Khan Singh when he's out on bale set fire to him and Kimara Cretak may find him self try to prove he didn't do it
  • Khan Singh may be found innocent but finding his life destroyed by negative coverage tip petrol over Kimara Cretak and watch him burn
ok these are unlikely and over dramatic scenario but the unlikely sometimes happens and you will certainly piss off someone somewhere just so you can let strangers on the internet know that you think murder is bad

fabled lynch mob

if you head over to facebook people just can't wait to start hating someone they have never met as soon as there name is in the news. yes Rebecca Leighton has been arrested but that is all we really know at this moment it hasn't even been reported what evidence led to the arrest so whether she is innocent or guilty it's probably to early for a face book page called "Rebecca Leighton - Murdering Whore" don't you think, so before joining the lynch mob and posting comments like
"id cave her f**king head in with a hammer the dirty f**king scumbag!! she will get away with it too cus she's a bird, i hope she dies of cancer the f**king trollop!!!" (yes that's a real comment on face book)
maybe you should ponder  the possibility that she may be innocent and that people with the facts should decide if she is innocent or guilty and the punishment (if she is found guilty) decided by someone with a judgeship and a gavel. not a ill-informed moron with a hammer
