Anne-Marie's Wild Rantings

Yes, I am obsessed. Yes, I was going to cut down on the amount of DW things I was going to post, but oh well. I suppose I should apologise, but this is my blog and I can do what I want.

Right, hello people.
Look at this, two posts in two days, this is starting to become a habit. Or maybe it's because now I'm not working I don't have anything better to do with my time than rant about what is on my mind at the moment. On the plus side though, I'm feeling a whole lot better since yesterday's rant, got that one off my chest, which means that now it's all back to business as usual as normal services resume. Yes, I'm back to my normal obsessional subjects mixed with some unique insights, dodgy analysis and outrageous conclusions, and all served with a dash of humour. Hope you enjoy. What I am about to say will change your life... okay, it won't, but I just like to think it. Humour me. :)

...All losses are restored and sorrows end.
Right, just a quick word to say sorry about some of the grammar below. I'm sure I can do better but I can't be bothered. ;)

Last week the Daily Mail published the supposed list of BBC presenters and their rating/ranking as according to the BBC. At the top of the list, among the "most valuable" presenters were unsurprisingly all three of the Top Gear Presenters and Stephen Fry amongst others.
Notable omissions from the list include people like Graham Norton, Jonathon Ross and - of course - John Barrowman, which means the list must have been for documentary type programmes. Technically I suppose Top Gear is a documentary and QI is a game show for intelligent people (and Alan Davis - only kidding Alan).
Anyway, it got me briefly thinking about how the BBC might rate their actors. You know the ones, they turn up in multiple BBC productions and are now household names. For example; John Simm, Philip Glenister, Keeley Hawes, Anthony Head, anyone who has guested in Merlin this year, and so on. Of course that list also needs to include the apparent man of the moment; David Tennant.
David Tennant is what this Christmas is all about. No, really, I'm not kidding. The man is everywhere. If you don't like him then tough because this Christmas you can't get away from him, which for fans like me is wonderful. He's doing 5 things with Catherine Tate, starting with Never Mind the Buzzcocks in... oooh... 5 minutes. I would like to point out that "The End of Time" only counts as one of those things and Doctor Who Confidential doesn't count at all. But other than that he's in about 10 things this Christmas, from drama to comedy, from game shows to radio. If you don't believe me, here is a new challenge for you.
Today I bought the Christmas Radio Times - it has a picture of Santa with a Dalek on the front (please Santa don't let there be any Daleks in the Christmas episode). The main reason I bought it was because there is a cute picture of Davey T inside with a beard and glasses and a where's wally jumper. There are also more pictures inside, which obviously lead to me pointing them out when my housemate was looking through it, which lead to the obvious challenge of counting the pictures. By my counting there are 20 pictures of David Tennant in the Radio Times. Yes, 20!!! Some of them are repeated but it still counts.
So this is my challenge, can you find all 20 pictures of David in the Radio Times? Bet you anything you won't the first time you go through it. But let me know how you get on.
Anyway, gotta dash now, got Buzzcocks to watch.
Hmmmmm, David, here I come.

Hello people, I thought I would give you a quick update of my life.
Today I quit my job.
That's about it.
Thanks for listening. ;)

Okay, okay, it’s been sometime since I’ve updated by blog, but I’m here, at home using up my holiday from work and having googled my usual searches came up with a new announcement that had me raising my eyebrows due to a mix of different types of surprise.

I found this today, it's so true.
You know you live in 2009 when...
1.) You accidentally enter your password on a microwave.
2.) You haven't played solitare with real cards for years
3.) The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is they dont have a screenname or myspace
4.) You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the buttons on the TV
6.) Your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job.
7.) As you read this list you keep nodding and smiling.
8.) As you read this list you think about sending it to all your friends.
9.) And you were too busy to notice number 5.
10.) You scrolled back up to see if there was a number 5.
11.) Now you are laughing at yourself stupidly.
12.) Put this in your profile if you fell for that, and you know you did!

For those of you who don't know, Comic Con has been happening in San Diego and Doctor Who and Torchwood have been two of the big names headlining the event. This means a couple of things. Firstly that the lucky people there got to see the first preview of the final two Tennant Doctor Who episodes titled "The End of TIme" to be aired this Christmas/New Year. But the top people for Who and Wood were there, including RTD, Eros Lynn (director of "The Children of Earth") and of course Misters Tennant and Barrowman, which is where it all gets a little interesting.
As The Sun reports (yes I really did just say that), when Tennant handed the microphone over the Barrowman, he first hugs his friend, then much to the delight of the crowd give him a kiss on the lips. So there you have it, Captain Jack finally manages to get a kiss from the new/current/leaving Doctor, and The Sun has posted a link to it. Go on, you know you want to check it out.

So, this is it. After nearly two and a half years, this is my last day of work as I know it. As of Monday I will be transfering to a different office and our team that we have here will be no more. <wipes at imaginary tears>
So far I have more or less cleared my desk. All that's left is the day to day file and some pens and stuff. My draws are completely clear and most the stuff went home last night. This morning I saved vital files onto my USB stick and deleted the rest. I have one file left which is like the paper file, a general day to day one and will be deleted just before I leave. I've deleted my emails as well, except for one, ditto like the other files. Now I'm wondering what to do. We have tons of food to eat, all junk food which will ruin my diet. And that's about it. So I thought I'd write my last blog post from work.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen and Phils of various forms (and 'L's), this is to be my last blog post from work. As of Monday I will actually have to do some work whilst at work, which will be a shock, and since they have no access to internet there will be no chance of me doing anything other than work. I'm dreading it already. ;) This means my blog posts will become even more eratic, but I will do my best to entertain you with the usual unimportant rubbish that I have dedicated my blog to so far.
Now I'm not sure what else to write. Mainly it's because I'm bored again and when people tend to get bored then their mind tends to shut down too. Later we're going to play monopoly, but for now I guess this is so long, fair well, auf weidersehn, good bye. See you on the other side. ;)
PS - just on a side note, Phil Glenister has quit "Demons", so that's the end of that. "Ashes to Ashes" filming over ran so it won't be on our screens until April, but it could be worse. I'm actually looking forward to it, and by then, who knows, I might have been able to re-watch season one.

Good news. For those of you who care, I passed by exam yesterday. So, yay!!! All that kind of hard work paid off.
Now, if you'd excuse me, I have a flash game to go back to. ;)

I have so far taken 2 phone calls today, both quotes, both under 9 minutes long. I have been at work since 9am and will finish at 5.30pm. Result!
PS - the reason why I don't have time to write a much longer post despite obviously being paid to do nothing, is because I'm busy revising for my exam tomorrow and still have a chapter and a half to go. AHHH. Ooops. ;)
