I don’t think it has escaped many people’s notice that I have inadvertently arranged my birthday drinkies tonight for the same time as Doctor Who. Oh, bum! In the middle of a superb story, too. Some of us have been wondering if it will turn out to be Sutekh at the bottom of the pit, and not just because Gabriel Woolf is doing the voice. Probably won’t be, but it is a fun bit of daydreaming. Video set, and there is always BBC3 tomorrow if that gets cocked up.

Last night over food at the new Lebanese place, we were chatting about the current story, trying to imagine what it would have looked like if it had been attempted thirty years ago. ;o)

I once wooed (and won!) a woman by telling her that I was very intelligent, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t also be incredibly stupid.

Well, no evidence whatever for the former today, but I think this time I’ve really broken the Stupidometer, the needle whacked up to full and then it shattered, with a fizzle of sparks and smoke.

I’ve seen akicif’s comments on inter_action and a couple of other places and thought, he sounds like his head’s screwed on (how often do you think that on the Net?), and I’ve even seen his fucking photograph and I still didn’t realise who it was!

Steve, it must be a couple of years since the last time we bumped into each other (in the Holyrood Tavern, I think it was). Hopefully, we can share a jar at WorldCon.
