Guest guest Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Oooooooh - Dr Who talk - I'm getting excited again. We have cybermen in the next series and an episode on Christmas day - can't wait. I have a sneaky suspicion that my favourite might turn out to be David Tennant. BB Jo , " earthstrm " <earthstorm@c...> wrote: > > NOOOOOO! Not me!

Guest guest Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Fraggle > thats cuz they had one of those roller ramps...shot em out in seconds... No chance... the roller ramps aren't waterproof :-) besides, the stairs could be clearly seen, and there were no roller ramps on them! BB Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Evil twin daleks, now there's an idea.... > And Tom Baker was my fav! He does seem to have been very popular. I quite like him, but reckon I'd put him 3rd or 4th. My favourite is Patrick Troughton, then Peter Davison. But they were all excellent - although some of them suffered from having bad directors and bad plots for a lot of their stories... I think it's a shame the original series ended when it did, because the last series they did was one of the best.... unfortunately they'd killed the popularity with Sylvester McCoy's first series, which was, on the whole, pretty bad!

Guest guest Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Fraggle > they were invisible roller ramps...sheesh Ah - but we know from The Daleks' Masterplan and Planet of The Daleks, that they never manage to master invisibility... so they can't have been.... Now, can I please take my anorak off??? BB Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Peter > I think I would put Jon Pertwee first, then Tom Baker, then Patrick Troughton. I think Jon Pertwee did a great job... I just didn't like the character that he had - way too patronising and condescending to everyone, with very little kindness. > Sorry Peter, I guess I voted for the ones I grew up watching as a sprog. I think most people do - just to be different, I go for the one who stopped 5 years before I was born! BB Peter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted December 9, 2005 It's not so different here either. I watched something a while back that showed they really try to recruit from the poorer areas.. You're right, the family was upset because they thought the governement would give a free ride college education and the son wouldn't need to ever fight. jo <jo.heartwork wrote: It may be different in America, but often in this country poorer, not so well educated children go into the forces to get 'trained'. I reckon most of them don't think they will be called on to fight. When I was younger the boys from the local children's home, who were chucked out when they reached sixteen, often had no choice but to join the forces. Jo - Jonnie Hellens Tuesday, December 06, 2005 6:49 PM Re: Vegans and war Back in the early 90's the woman who was my childcare provider had several sons. The oldest joined the reserves to get the college education.

I agreed with the first bit... but... why the poor family member??? Whadidtheydo, except be born into the wrong family? And I seem to remember a Metallica video which has a quote along the lines of "every American would give their firstborn son", or something along those lines... so, I doubt the parents would be too upset if they voted for war in the first place! > from then onwards..there is a live simulcast, broadcast into the house and senate chambers, of units in the front line....let em > see the brutality of war first hand...over and over and over...

Guest guest Report post Posted December 10, 2005 Yeah, you said it so much better than I did or could!linda <lindai81 wrote: No, not much different here. During the Vietnam war it was particularly bad because the richer kids could get deferments for being in college and as we all know Bush managed to avoid the war zone via his Dad's money and influence. Now it is a matter of the fact that the only way many of the poorer younger kids can get out of their prediction is to join the military. That way they hope to get job training, money for college, a roof over their head, and food in their tummies and avoid the gangs. They see it as their only way out. So, our military really is filled with kids who come from very poor families...I am talking about enlisted not the officers. There is a movie, star Danny Devito (sp?) who does a movie called The Renaissance Man that explores this topic of why young people go into the military. If you haven't seen it it really gives an insight into the reasons. linda "Whatever you do will be insignificant and it is very important that you do it."Mohandas Gandhi linda's Growing Stitchery Projects: womyn47 - jo It may be different in America, but often in this country poorer, not so well educated children go into the forces to get 'trained'.
