Agreed. We're not a bunch of old coots who'll just swan into subconscious word play without knowing it.

Not this little black...........

You fools! You mad, mad fools! You've done it! You have crossed the divide into parallel thread territory! Ear worm alert, ear worm alert ...

''cos there's triangular chocolate from triangular trees, made with triangular honey from triangular bees ...'
Exorcise! exorcise!
(trundles off warbling like a Dalek)

What happens if you take your parallel threads and tie them together?

I think we just did it - Dr Who crept in there and I wasn't even THINKING about the damn show! I bet you anything that, right now, there's a hasty rewrite going on, some poor scriptwriter on an unexpected sugar rush muttering: 'Cybermen? Stupid idea! What the Christmas special needs is ducks, lots and lots of ducks. And while I'm about it, let's put in a minotaur as well ...'

God knows what would happen if we introduced battenburg into the Tardis.

A trans-genre explosion (with a slight almond aftertaste)?

Not to mention Bazonka

No wonder the Doctor is so lonely: how can he possibly keep companions if he is unable to offer them Battenburg?

Until this sentence I managed not to mention Bazonka

Good grief, does the poor guy even have chocolate in there? An infinitely large TARDIS and not even a single Battenburg or bit of chocolate?

And why don't we ever see the TARDIS kitchen anyway? I scent intrigue!

Well I'm playing kazoo as I type this, and I'd forgotten what a pleasurable experience it can be. Couldn't even find triangle, let alone play it, so I'd guess that rates as the more difficult to play if you're going by availability alone. I'll stick with the kazoo though - all I had to do was google up You Tube, and I don't think you'll better classics like 'Don't go' or 'Happy People' or ...

Oh, hang on. kazoo ... yazoo. Damn key changes. Sorreeeee!

(Scent of desperation as she tries desperately to return to original thread context - we have got a multi-dimensional Who fforum as it is!)

Who's fforum? And we are a bunch of boobies for all the terrible bird puns.

No doubt some of them will ostrich....

Stop parroting me! I already used "booby"!

Thinking about it, I suppose we should just be glad the first post didn't question the skill in the Swanee-Whistle!

That's only because the kazoo/swanee combination has been used extensively on 'I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue', and I didn't want to lark around with it. Who needs to listen to people grouse?

Now that you mention it, which is more skillful: The kazoo or the Swannee-Whistle?

Well, I've known some kazoos that were very good at knitting over the years. On the other hand, that swannee-whistle down the street is a pretty good whittler…
