It was so obvious, but it had to be done.

 

 

Now, how long before YouTube delete it?

Is it just me, or does this picture of Hilary Devey, the new face on Dragon’s Den…

 

… look a little bit like this picture of Freddie Mercury?

This is more of a test of my video editing ability with free tools than anything else. I think my chopping of the soundtrack is better than the video, as I got bored towards the end and just bunged in whatever filler material i could find.

 

The Sun, amongst others, have reported that Doctor Who star Karen Gillan was recently found drunk, naked, and whimpering in the corridor of a New York hotel. See this article for details: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/tv/3663222/Karen-Gillan-found-naked-and-mumbling.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=TV

A couple of points on this…

Firstly, is it really newsworthy? Someone in their twenties goes on holiday, gets drunk, and makes a total arse of themselves. If that is news, I would have spent a lot of the 90s in the newspapers (instead of the mere 5 appearances – none of which involved nudity). Okay, so this person ended up butt naked in a hotel corridor. I was 33 before that first happened to me. It still isn’t news.

Secondly, is the story even true? Is there one piece of admissible evidence that this event ever occurred with Miss Gillan involved? Could it have been another skinny ginger? Only the release of photo/video evidence will tell.

Personally, I doubt every aspect of this story, with good reason.

I know a lot of Scots, and a lot of Gingers. A lot of my friends and family are either Scottish, Ginger, or both.

While the idea of a Ginger Scot drunk and naked in a hotel corridor is not entirely outside the realms of possibility, one crucial point is: they were whimpering.

In my experience, neither a Ginger, nor a Scot, would ever be in that state of mind.

Due to the high levels of rage which both Gingers and Scots possess, the only state of mind for a drunken Caledonian Redhead to be in, would be Pure Incandescant Rage. A state which they stay in until soberness approaches, or a coma occurs (at which point whimpering is impossible).

If said person was kicking seven bells of shit out of a fire extinguisher for it being “redder than her”, or repeatedly punching a mirror because the reflection was looking at them in a funny way, then I’d accept the possibility that a skinny, drunken, Ginger, Scottish wench was there.

Without that possibility, I don’t think the story can be true.

 

So, the showrunner of Doctor Who has apparently “ranted” about fans spoiling the series by leaking plot elements.

Here is the BBC coverage…

So.
Only two things wrong with that:

• That isn’t a rant. I know enough Scottish people to know a rant when I hear one. In the lexicon of Scotland, that was just a minor complaint. I’ve heard Scots more angry about Tesco running out of milk.
• What the the fusk was that git thinking when he decided to do that to his hair?
