In 1995, Jeremy Brett was going to be decorated with the insignia of Knighthood, or what is the same, it would do "Sir".
But in that same year, before they could giving died, and the thing that stayed in, in an anecdote.
This goes to all fans of Jeremy Brett and Sherlock Holmes. There is a movement on the Internet, which is collecting signatures to finally give him the honorary title even if it would be posthumous.
Here is the LINK: [link]

i thought it was pretty damn cool! The kind of sci-fi i-can-do-anything-i-want-without-explaining-it-really that occured left you going...'WAH!!?' but i enjoyed it a lot it was very funny, the donna/doctor thing was hilarious, hats off to catherine tate for going at 100mph doing her lines, sad shes gone though, loved the rose/doc resolution sad and satisfiying at the same time.
Delighted that martha was exposed for the aweful companion she was....she wanted to blow it all up!!! interesting to see if she and Mickey join Torchwood. And thought the German Daleks was priceless.
What did you reckon?

Gerard-obsessive-fan In reply to lycanlauren [2008-07-06 13:36:52 +0000 UTC]
Very true - right at the start that happened with the regeneration bit. The Osterhagen key bit was creepy though - they could actually have something like that in real life one day. Yes, I thought it was sad that she had to go back when the Doctor could have done with a half-timelord companion. The Rose bit was the perfect solution too - it clears up that he would definitely have said 'I love you', she has a half-human Doctor who ages, if they'd have stayed together then she'd have to be in most episodes until they broke up or she died and this way people don't get sick of her, and it also means the Doctor will feel even sadder and more lonely because he wanted Rose but couldn't have her himself. It works out so well, but you're right, it is really sad in a way. Yes, I loved the Daleks speaking German. And that the Tardis is designed to be piloted by 6 people (and that Jackie couldn't do it!). I hope Mickey joins Torchwood, but I don't care if Martha is never in a Doctor Who episode or spin-off again. She has to be the worst companion out of Rose, Donna and herself. Sorry, a lot of this doesn't make much sense - the really long Rose sentence, for example. I thought Donna's grandad was sweet at the end. Martha's family were bitches though. Well, her mum was. Isn't she in 'Tracy Beaker' or some other kids TV show? Not that I watch much kids TV. Though my friend loves 'Lazy Town' (she does have a little brother)

lol dont worry i do long rambling sentences but it made perfect sense, i'm not sure i tend not to get home in time for kids tv anymore which sucks...i mean...what?
I really like Pocoyo on itv its very cute and it have stephen fry doing the voice overs which makes it doubley cool. i think lazy town is kinda cool and kids love it i was watching paul o'grady recently and these kids were dressed up as sporticus and the girl and then the real sporticus came on as a surprise and it was so osweet seeing their reaction *^_^*
I definately think who was a bit of a jumble but enjoyable none the less, i'm glad i've found some one just as anti martha as me though.
oh the key thing was scary it wouldnt surprise me if that really did exist as a last resort. if we run out of tea or something lol

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-11 20:24:46 +0000 UTC]
thank u hon, i still go back to yours every now and then. i like its simplicity. i'm a tad concerned mine is too complicated even though its scaled down from a previous site. hmmmm sites are hard man!

ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-06-11 20:40:01 +0000 UTC]
cheers dawg, yours is one of the best flash websites I've ever seen. Youve got it basic yet supa-stylin'ersonally I prefer HTML because you can click the back button! Your work is fantastic, wish i'd gotten the hang of illustrator/flash ever!
π: 0 β©: 1
lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-12 17:03:47 +0000 UTC]
aw thank you means a lot to me you saying that, i always loved your stuff, still have one of your badges i nicked from you last year lol
i didnt realise your site was done with html, i sort of assumed everyone did flash bacause that was what paul was giving workshops on. i'd love to know how to use dreamweaver properly/at all. Andi the guy that did the Luxenburg site for you guys last year is shit hot with html [link] makes you want to weep but still his site isnt pink so on reflection it sux lol.
Ah i see what you mean by the back button now, that is a downfall with flash. i keep forgetting and being sent back to other silly pages.

ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-06-13 18:08:09 +0000 UTC]
You make me blush! yes I remember you being a lovely little thing about my work
Html is easier to translate than flash i find, like if you want a line somewhere you can make the line in PS then just sort of carry it! I did learn the basic flash template at uni but I don't take pleasure in flash at all wheras html is kinda fun if you got someone to help.
That guys site is pretty good, the thing about websites is though that everyones got different tastes ennit, objective, you're never going to please everyone so its best to make it for yourself.

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-16 19:23:50 +0000 UTC]
Lol oh dear i hope i wasnt too gushing about it!
I shall definately give html a go at some point, might take a short course, not sure i could cope alone! Mmmm Andi's is cool can be a little crowded at times. Like there are some images there that really arent worth having or are just so far back in his development that it drags the rest of his work down if you know what i mean. Tom Lardner thought much the same when he saw it. pissed andi off royaly! Speaking of websites you've taken a lot down off of yours! All the evil dead style comic stuff has all but gone, whats with the downsizing hon?
π: 0 β©: 1
ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-06-18 17:10:53 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I was downsizing, decided to keep personal stuff here and select stuff on my website.
I will be starting another website for my tattoo stuff as well, so I'd better get cracking soon. I just quit my job so I am going to make a go of it.
yeah i didnt like the aspect of uni that involved people who's work i didnt respect in the least telling me what i should do, Im so glad ive left! hahahaha lollllll

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-19 15:17:02 +0000 UTC]
yeah definately, like this years examiner. he seemed a nice guy but i didnt like the thought of him judging our work when his own is...
well a bit shit. like faux naivee to the extreme.
be nice to draw for myself for a change, and i so wont miss grading matrixes and learning outcomes and assesment criteria.
no more writting again ever unless its fun!

ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-06-22 09:41:50 +0000 UTC]
I really enjoyed the dissertation, but thats probably because it gave me another excuse to really study horror films in depth (L)
yeah Now that I've left i wish i could go back and kinda not do it....but with all the knowledge i have now.
It just cost so much money and the system is so full of flaws it makes me quite angry.
i hate that fauz naive shit, i blame david shrigley , i like him but it seems to have spawned a generation of people who draw like children.
π: 0 β©: 1
lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-26 14:41:57 +0000 UTC]
people seems to think that if you draw like a retarded monkey it will get you instant recognision and work etc... but it just doesnt.
The successful faux naive stuff is often witty or the naive stuff is well thought out. most of it is just shit. automatic-draw-with-your-left-hand-drawing taken way too far.
like i've got a david shrigly postcard ( i have just this second realised) and i like it cos its funny, its my kind of humour [link] but yeah i dont rate the other stuff out there
Oh i enjoyed the subject matter of mine it was basically about Second life which meant i could spend ages 'researching' it online. but yeah definate system flaws which could easily be sorted out. even in the run up to the exhibition there was stuff that could have been easily sorted out. like a load of our promotional stuff didnt get done for the d&ad stand cos there was just nothing organised.
π: 0 β©: 1
ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-06-27 10:21:49 +0000 UTC]
yeah dave shrigley is prolly the exception to the rule. He is funny so it doesnt matter how he d raws. whereas most people arent funny.
second life , aaaah my boyfriend had a character called Rape Houston who was a fat naked man with a spliff hanging out of his mouth. He'd just dance in front of people, people got irate.
gah, the only reason ours was organised is because we had Mik

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-06-30 13:34:00 +0000 UTC]
lol i bet your BF was very popular. Its so funny when people on line take things like that way too seriously, its the best thing ever to watch two avatars (one of which is usually a furry) face off against each other over nothing. One person took offense to the over enthusiastic use of capital letters during one convo just so dumb.
i like the interesting thoughts of edward monkton too again cos they're funny/quirky
omg yeah Mik was an organising machine! hows he doing do you know?
π: 0 β©: 1
ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-07-01 08:54:52 +0000 UTC]
Mik is currently living in France with his lovely gal doing various graphic design jobs. I got him on msn! Why cant I just get a highly paid job where i just have to faff around on photoshop....wryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.
um yeah richard the BeeF was terrible on second life- his old uni actually BOUGHT an island there so he'd just go there and dance. It is super wierd how people get so uptight over it.
Aaaaah furries, when i saw your email i thought you were a furry...lollers
π: 0 β©: 1
lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-07-01 14:18:01 +0000 UTC]
Which email was that? ok i do kinda like anthro stuff but not to the same level as those guys theres a funny web site called i hate furries.com [link] and their arguments are hilarious. some of the drawings though do worry me a tad.
Not good.
omg they really bought an island? Trying to reach the youth eh? Not always such a good idea.
ah wow Mik sounds like he's doing really well, faffing on photoshop would be the ultimate career.

good god yeah I have a friend who moved to texas, started hanging out with furries and now he's turned gay and is helping them sell furry porn D:
but yeah your lycan lauren email , cos i remember seeing it at uni and thinking "OH NOES A FURRY o_o"
I do love hearing about the latest dramatic twunt in the furry camp though.
yeah he got this newsletter from his old uni which he quit cos it was total shit, and theyd spent THOUSANDS on this island as opposed to good resources etc. how shocking is that. Rape Houston has a lot of dancing naked to do.
yeah mik is a right goodun, i didnt like that many people in my class and all but mik = (Y) its good he's doing well cos he worked his arse off

HAHAHA!
Thats so funny! Most people when they see my email or any kind of username i have ( i keep everything the same saves confusion) they all kind of assume i am a BIIIIIIGGGGG fan of Underworld. And i'm like no, i do like the film but i had the whole Lycan thing going on wayyyyyy before the film came out. I am Lycan cos i like wolves basically. i though that lycan meant wolf (i know now it doesnt really) so i had it on everything. my first attempt at an art website all those moons ago: LycanArt. a little bit sad.
I love your description of your friend too: Went to texas, got gay, sells furry porn! LMAO
Thousands!? they spent thousands on an island?! Good god. Which uni was it? you may have already said but i might have forgotten. Tell me it was Southampton cos thats the kind of shit they'd do. I love that they sent him a letter informing him of this purchase.
HEY GUESS WHAT STUPID THING WE'VE DONE!
Your class didnt seem very unified dispite its small size. I think i remember you gettting on with Adam was it? hows he getting on?

ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-07-02 18:14:01 +0000 UTC]
lollers the olden times, I too have many embarrassing old web names.
Yeah COVENTRY UNI is the biggest pile of shit , not only did they spend thousands on it- they have to spend 300 quid a month forever for upkeep on this "island". Yeah poor old Dick read it and couldnt decide whether to shit himself in protest or laugh.
Oh yeah Adam was a dollface, since we split up all those many moons ago he's kinda resented me i think. Especially since he got this new girlfriend he is living in bomo still with 2 jobs not doing any art. he's such a domestic type LOL.
The way the illustration ba went was doomed from the start- they shouldve totally done like a special getting to know you thing but they didnt- the fuckers. it showed .

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-07-05 14:50:13 +0000 UTC]
Upkeep? they have to pay upkeep too!? does anyone actually go there!? I think one of my old Foundation tutors transfered to there poor guy.
Oh i didnt realise you and adam were dating, shames hes not doing art, damn real life money issues getting in the way of art. You know i'm sure there was a girl in your year when we first arrived who kept going, 'oh yeah we're gonna start a get to know you party for the course and everyone will get to know each other' never happened. Took someone in our year to do it this year when everyone had left...if you can decifer that sentence cos i sure as hell can't.

ministerofevil In reply to lycanlauren [2008-07-05 19:11:14 +0000 UTC]
Yeah i know, when richard visited the island it was empty :\, what a bunch of retarded losers!
Yeah me and Adam went out for like....almost a year, then it got complicated. we stayed friends and shit...but then he got a new girlfriend and ignored me LOL.
Yeah thats what i hated about my year. people would say stuff and not do fucking anything. A lot of them were super fake and up their own arses.
i decifered it!

lycanlauren In reply to ministerofevil [2008-07-06 12:22:13 +0000 UTC]
Lol i went to the island the other day cos i was curious, there is still noone there lol. Its so retarded there isnt even a place for me to leave abuse on a notice bored or something. How your BF managed to find any people to dance naked in front of i do not know.
what a git, ah well thats life i guess.
i'm afraid the say and then not do mentality still ran through our year. i think i must have already mentioned the serious lack of awesome things to give away at our exhibitions becasue people did a lot of saying but not doing. we didnt even get badges this year despite me sending the people doing it the website we used and the templates from last year. If you want something done got to bloody do it your self!

Apparentlhere is one notice board cos rich left a note that said "COCKS"
but it might be hard to find seeing as NO ONE EVER USES THE FUCKING ISLAND WAAAAA!
yeah thats one thing that pissed me off about all of AIB is that no one ever does anything , art students are all lazy so nothing ever gets done. that fight was knocked out of me in first year and i ended up locking myself in my room, going mad then drinking my liver to death! lollers
yeah the badge thing was lucky cos there was a finnish company or something and hilda was from finland blah de blah. I'm glad i made the effort in t he 3rd year though that was the best!
