I'm off to the Dr Who Experience at Olympia this afternoon (-with my 8 year old son, of course!)

Bring it on!

So you know Neil?

Small world ... this is the first time on PH that I have closed the five degrees of separation; Neil is my brother in laws brother.

The 'Experience' was great fun - and is well recommended! (I won't say more about it, as I don't want to drop in any spoilers for anyone thinking about going.)

My only regret is that I couldn't convince my son that he should get one of the life-size cardboard cutouts of Amy Pond, which they were selling in the shop! wink

I want that job!

I saw one of the original BBC daleks for sale in a memorabilia/junk shop in Hastings a year or two back. Unfortunately, the OH was not keen on having it in the house. I don't know what the fuss was about. If we had stood it in the corner with a doily and pot plant on it's head, no one would have noticed it!

Yes! Well, to be exactly accurate, Gill is my sister in law (wife's sister), so he's probably something like "brother in law once removed".

How's that for a small world then.
