"@tontdoch: Oh, btw, David Tennant's real name is David McDonald and he comes from a town a few miles to the west of Glasgow called Paisley. My older brother has the same face as DT but he's only 162cm..."

"@Heriloke: I have ever had such an intelligent reply to any of my drunken-yet-erudite ramblings/treatise on modern media. To be honest, I made the comment in stages so I could vent my anger, without frustration, point by point. I don't know your name so I'll call refer to you as HL. You completely understand where I come from."

"Glenister only tried the 'murcan accent because he didn't want to be typecast as a cockney thug - which was why he was cast in the role in the first place."

tontdoch commented on A Black Friday Guide To Lego Space Toys Through The Years

"Whatever happened to the Lego Technics sets? I was given two over successive years - the first was the bulldozer/crane/tractor/whatever you wanted, the second was the big car with the working V8 engine/tractor/multiple space-fighters/whatever I wanted. Nowadays the Lego sets are so limited because the pieces are so specialist that the poor wee bugger that gets the set can only go so far with his/her imagination. The majority of the Lego Technics pieces were normal Lego pieces with holes in the sides, axles, lots of different-sized gears, wheels with interchangeable tyres, wee grey linkages that linked each piece in so many ways, the possibility of adding the Lego electric motor at any time/any stage, holes in the 'lego nipples' on the top surface that accepted so many little new stuff... The creativity of today's children is being slowly eroded by quick-fix, instant gratification. Sorry, my rant is over, for now!"
