Random Funfacts!

Not that it’s a competition or that it means I’m better than all of you or anything

It totally means I’m better than you

 

This week I started watching the first episodes of Doctor Who. Never seen it before.

Honestly thought it was a kids serie
But not anymore

Grrr, Imrahil

 

So which first episode of Dr. Who? I'm guessing the relaunch with Christopher Eccleston?

 

Funfact. I'm shocked we already have two pages!

(Nah that one's kind lame so I will share another)
The first Warhammer thing I bought was a lot of Chaos Knights and marauders with a Karkadrak guy. Then I proceeded to trade that to my friend to get his Seraphon start collecting box.

The 2005 Season... With Christopher Eccleston. Is there an earlier version/season?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Oh sweet summer child, Eccleston is the Ninth Doctor, the show started in 1963 and ran through 1989 before taking a long hiatus, then returning in 2005 with what you are now watching. (I choose to ignore the 1996 TV movie). The old stuff had some great stuff, some horrid stuff, and some stuff that was just there. Some if it (most of the Second Doctor from 1966-1969) are lost to the sands of time, and as far as I'm aware there is no good way to gain access to watch all that does still exist.

 

O wow, the ninth... that's a lot of catching up to do
do you recommend the older shows?

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Every time I see something like this, I still get a bit excited despite the fact that I'm now 36...

 

Sometime back in 2003 or 2004 me, my brothers and some friends came together at one of our friend's house(regularly) to watch him play Dungeon Siege and get all excited about it
(Those days before Twitch)

Grrr, Imrahil

 

I feel you there brother - for around ten years of my life I also developed a fear of bees and wasps after being stung on the back of my left hand by a wild bee out in the New Forest. I no longer mind bees so much now that I know they do a lot of good to the world, but I’m still edgy around wasps. I can now put them out if they come in, but I still feel compelled to keep them at least at arm’s length!

I can click my fingers now, but for a long time I couldn’t. Everyone’s different!

I only play the original StarCraft, and Zerg for the win (though Protoss are cool too)

As for my fact that isn’t a response, I have never been abroad (unless you count either Wales or the Isle of Wight as abroad, which I don’t ). Nor do I really have much intention of going abroad, there’s not really any other country that attracts me to visit it on holiday, and you can see the best bits on TV anyway

 

That's called being smart. You can't trust those flying assholes. Wasps are horrible and will sometimes sting you for no reason at all (which is something that bees will not do).

 

I have been to Canada, USA, France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Wales and Ireland

But I have never been to Scotland.

 

I've been to:

• Canada (obviously)
• USA
• Cuba
• Australia
• Hungary
• Italy
• England
• Scotland

 

I have been to America (I live here) and Canada! (I love Canada)

 

If you lived in Canada and never been to the USA, you would be in my situation in never having been to Scotland...

 

Scotland was great, @Mrs. NIGHTBRINGER and I had a really great time there.

 

You’re a wise man, I’ve been as far north as Yorkshire but am very reluctant to traverse the Pictish border

 

I am not bounded by such trivial borders! (except during Covid)

 

I'll play the where I've been game:

• USA
• Mexico
• England
• Bahamas
• Ireland
• Belgium
• The Netherlands
• Denmark
• Sweden
• Germany
• Czech Republic
• Austria
• Hungary
• Italy
• France
• Scotland
• Vatican City
• Spain
• Portugal
