Tennant is never 6'1"... is he? He always seems so short on tv!
Next you'll be telling me that Hammond is not short either, it's all an optical illusion created by Clarkson being a giant...

"created by Clarkson being a giant..."

I'd like to finish that sentence, but I suspect it'd be something crude

Hi arisv! Well unless you've got an absolutely HUUUUUUUGE telly at home, he's never going to look much more than a few inches tall is he?!

But, yes, apparently Tennant claims to be 6'1" - which is infinitely more credible than the 5'7" that the Hamster claims he is!

6'1"? Hmmmm well in that case, Kylie (who is allegedly 5'1") must be wearing 9" heels......???? Or just standing on a box?

See I told you he was the evil twin - he lies about his height!

Nah - that doesn't make him evil ....... just an example of the male gender having problems with measurement accuracy!

*snork*

Actually, I think since Hammond is really only about three feet tall, he still qualifies as *mini*

Is that Brian Molko I see on Tennants shirt?

And why aren't we talking about Johnny Depp?

Since when did Lou Reed call himself Brian Molko?

Easy mistake to make though! :-)

So, apart from seeing Hamster & Tennant in the same room at the same time ...... has anyone ever seen Reed & Molko in the same room at the same time??

Cookster: you must be eating bad koeksisters if they made you sick.

Try freezing them first. Where do you know them from?

My work takes me over to the Netherlands fairly regularly Martin, so I've come across them there. The "sick" part just comes from overindulgence though! :-)

And BK - how could you see my eyeshadow from over there? Has somebody secretly installed a spycam in my pc?! :-)

Just before you abort the mission BK - how do you think this tie goes with this shirt?

Re: A small apology

Personally, I dont think the tie works with that collar. The colours work though.

I mean, I have no idea what you mean...

Can I justy have a rum & coke instead? Had a terrible hangover the last time someone bought a round of Pseudo Scientific Techno Babble.

Must have been that awful premixed stuff... You have to make sure you get a new fresh batch every time.

I'll bear that in mind! (Or maybe it was just the peanuts??)

Ah, the trick with Techno Babble is never to mix your Pseudo Scientific and Scientific varieties. Stick to one or the other and you'll be fine...
