Saw it? Come on Steve admit it - you were in it (under your acting name of "William Hartnell"). Personally I'm far too young to remember any of the Doctor's until Patrick Troughton.

Tardis: well at Uni, we had to use Telnet, but for a while, on my 56k dialup, I used Wintin.  I have PuTTY somewhere for use with something else and didn't realise I could play MUDs on it.

The one I used to play was Distant Lands.  It wasn't too bad actually, but I ended up chatting for ages and only got to about level 60 or so (plus I had about 5 other characters too).  Then I stopped playing it for ages, my character got wiped and eventually I started again and I've since quit again.  It's too time consuming and less and less people played it.  The sad thing is, my character was in a guild and had a wedding planned with another character, when I quit, so I'm not sure what came of everything.

Talk about sad! LOL

I don't like Billie Piper at all.  She's not even that attractive.  I think it's partly because she's from my home town and partly because she was married to that talentless idiot, Chris Evans.

Torchwood looks much more interesting, but I doubt I'll watch it.

I used to watch the old Dr. Who's with Sylvester McCoy and Sophie Aldred in the 1980s.


Yeah, when I first started playing Aldebaran I didn't know anyone so I spent most of my time advancing levels, but after a while I got lazy and just spent the majority of my time socializing with other players. I never made it to level 100, only 98 was the highest I got I think. Then I died and lost a whole bunch of levels.

As for the whole MUD marriage thing, I got married to the same character about 5 times, I kept on committing suicide to get out of the marriage. LOL

As for Billie Piper, didn't she record an album? I swear I saw her in a music video and it was pretty sad. It was like she was trying to emulate Mariah Carey.

Billie Piper had one or two hit singles before she became an actress. Probably had an album as well.

I wish she was a porn star. That I would find acceptable.

Thought you'd all like to see a picture of my shed -



It's amazing how much stuff you can get in it. It never seems to get full!

A special prize to the first person who can tell me where this phone box actually is.

Nice shed! I'm very envious of you! Angry

As for where it is, I have no idea! I'm guessing somewhere in the United Kingdom? Wink

Well I used to have two, one containing a trailer and the other two motorbikes and nameless other junk.  Now I have no garage, hence the two sheds.
