Handrejka 1,911 Posted April 19, 2007 The house across the road from me is named 'Tardis' and has a Tardis in the garden. I haven't met the occupants yet as I've only been here a couple of weeks, but no doubt they are knobs. Oh dear Nothing worse than living near fans....fanatics? Try living with them.

Monoclinic 39 Posted April 20, 2007 Apparently there are several people (predominately Welsh?) who may have the same unfortunate luck regards neighbours as yourself. Call that a Tardis - they can't even fit a bed in it! A Welsh obssession? There's a website dedicated to Readers Sheds!!! Whatever next, a site that likes to second guess when people die? You too can find many images of Tardi* in gardens simply by searching Taris and Garden in google. The internet hey, who says you can live without it. *If a linguistic expert would like to confirm that this is indeed the plural of Tardis I would be most grateful. Also what would be the collective noun? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olveres 8 Posted April 20, 2007 The house across the road from me is named 'Tardis' and has a Tardis in the garden. I haven't met the occupants yet as I've only been here a couple of weeks, but no doubt they are knobs. Maybe they've gone on holiday to Gallefray (sic?). Start to worry when one of them shows up looking uncannily like the Tom Baker Doctor and one of the glamorous assistants (take your pick there), while their children run round the garden dressed as Cybermen. Now that would scare me and make me think I was in Eerie, Indiana! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also what would be the collective noun? I am not a linguistic expert, nor am I one of that strange sallow clan who refer to themselves as "Whovians", but I do know that TARDIS is an acronym, and therefore should be pluralized as "Tardises". For the collective noun, may I suggest a "nonsense of Tardises"? Or perhaps a "bonfire of Tardises" would be a more pleasing image? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thankfully I have never watched a full episode of Dr Who to know that it was an acronym. Neither have I watched Star Wars. Nor Star Trek. As a scientist I am a rare breed. One that takes no interest in Sci-Fi whatsoever is hard to find yet here I am. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,687 Posted September 10, 2008 Fortean Times devoting a fair chunk of two issues to the whole time-travel/aliens/Titor thing. Haven't read it myself yet, but will do soon. Given that they're concentrating on space alien and fantastical claims of time travel I doubt they'll go for the under-stated Kylan Masters who appears to have limited his claim to filing one book with an online publisher before clearing off to the future. You can help yourself to a few pages of that here. Utter cobblers, of course, but maybe BS or one of his aliases sees it differently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cowboy Ronnie 78 Posted September 10, 2008 Is today International Scientific Bullshit Day? First that stupid Big Bang machine, now this. Time travel isn't possible. The closest you could get is to be put to sleep so your body doesn't get older, then wake up in a few years, like how Ripley and Co travelled through space in the Alien films. You can't go back in time. I don't care about light speed or bending the space/time continuum, or any of that crap. Speaking of the Big Bang machine, here's The Independent's take. I keep expecting to read a 1 April dateline for the article. If there really is a Big Bang you can bet they'll all jump into their bank vaults Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there really is a Big Bang you can bet they'll all jump into their bank vaults Well according to some Scientists Time Travel is feasable but so is getting a Mouse to roger an Elephant. Mary, I have read the latest FT, decent enough article but you would have read it all before. Time Travel would be brilliant, Id go back to the night of January 6th 1983 and lie in wait for the bastard that stole my Dads car. I would relish the opportunity to kick his f*****g head in. We can all dream. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He and we will never know, because he was met by another MiB on the stairway who prevented his descent. Kind of obvious really. Ah, but only if he had a time machine and since he can't remember being prevented from going downstairs by himself, he did in fact go downstairs to whatever awaited. The fact that he went downstairs without confronting himself seems reasonable proof that going back in time is not going to happen in MiB's lifetime (unless the service was very expensive and beyond his pocket). Besides, since he did go down stairs there is no point going back and trying to stop it because it happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,687 Posted September 14, 2008 Read the Fortean Times stuff on time travel on the way to Scunthorpe yesterday. Highly entertaining and the stuff on Titor as good as suggested a team behind the hoax with ambitions of making highly lucrative creative content on the back of their online blatherings. Would recommend any regular on this thread to read that edition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,687 Posted September 15, 2008 There - sort of - was an odd time effect at Scunny, a slight deja vu from two seasons ago when we penned them back for much of the game and lost to some needlessly leaked goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
