*evil laugh*

I changed the noise that plays when I turn on my laptop; you know how when your computer turns on, it'll give a little introductory jingle or beep?

My laptop now yells, courtesy of Gene Hunt:

"Don't move! You're surrounded by armed bastards!"

If anybody ever nicks my laptop, they're in for a big surprise.

Hee! I'd constantly be asking other people to turn it on, just to make them jump *g*

New header is awesome btw! As is Donna :-)

It's so cool. It has to be one of the best quotes in the world. Armed Bastards. Oi.

Thanks! It was made by the lovely [info]angelfireeast. Oh, I have so much love for Donna. I'm so stressed though; I think season four is going to break my heart on so many fronts!

Yeah, I think the end of S4 is going to break a lot of hearts. As there won't be another series next yr, just the specials, I can really see them going out with a bang :-(

I'm still scarred by the end of TW which I went into totally unspoiled. Ouch. Spoilers are your friend!

I know! I don't know how I'm going to cope in 2009 - I'm already ticked off that we don't get an episode next week because of the Eurovision thingy!

I am looking forward to the specials though - there's a lot of speculation that Billie will be there, but I don't know what to believe anymore. Who!dom messes with my head. I've decided not to give anything too much credence until it's official.

Well, Catherine Tate is only doing one season, so...EEEEEEKKKK.

Oh, please tell me - how did Torchwood end?

Do not diss the wonder that is Euorvision!

Oh, Donna! Eeeek indeed.

Jack's brother was evil & forced Captain John to help him. Jack ended up buried for 2000 yrs but managed to save the day, only not really.

Owen was trapped in a nuclear power station when it went critical - you don't *actually* see him die, but he couldn't get out & the screen went white.

Tosh meanwhile was shot by Jack's bro but was still trying to talk Owen through fixing the power station & escaping. Owen was ranting & raving that he was gonna die, Tosh was crying & saying he was breaking her heart (& everyone watching); she couldn't save him.

Jack, Ianto & Gwen found Tosh, but she died in Jack's arms.

So. Owen dead. Tosh dead. Me a sniffling wreck.

I know!!!

I don't know if S3 has been confirmed. I *think* it has, but I'm not 100%. There's a possibility Owen somehow survived, as he was technically already dead, but I can't see how. Tosh is definately dead.

There's been some speculation of Martha coming back, but again, I'm not 100& on this.

It broke my heart, but I don't think you could reset & bring Tosh back. I was expecting it all the way through the ep as Cardiff was getting blown up all over the place & I was convinced RTD was gonna hit the reset like the end of S3 Who. I'm impressed he didn't tbh. Heartbroken , but impressed.

You really should aquire a copy.....

Oh, eeeeeek. That's so horrible. Is there any news on new casting?

Yikes, Cardiff blown up, eh?

Weeeeel, I don't really watch Torchwood. I mean I'm interested and all, and I love some of the characters (namely Tosh, so uggh) but...it never seems to hold me. *hides from rocks* I like it, I really do, but...I don't know.

S1 was not great. At all. But S2 for the most part has been a big improvement.

But then I'm biased: I love Jack & I love Ianto (who has more to do this season). And I love Jack/Ianto, which is totally canon this season. Maybe it's a slasher's show? *g*

The 2nd last ep was all about how the gang got recruited & is worth a watch for some good Tosh backstory.

*promises not to throw rocks*

I have seen some eps of season two and I was very impressed with the storylines. They had a real depth to them, really triggered the mind. I just...I don't know why I never stay with it. I think I wonder what's the Doctor doing right now? and then I get to thinking about Doctor Who and...sorry.

I do like Ianto, and I'm glad to hear that they use him more in season two. He was barely in the first couple of eps!

I did see a comment in the aftermath that all three remaining TW folk would be showing up in DW. I can take or leave Gwen, but the thought of Ianto & the Doctor on screen together amuses me *g*

I like Gwen, but I was a little disappointed with her treatment of...Rhys? Her boyfriend. That was a long time ago though.

I think half of Equity will be in Doctor Who at some point or another. *g*

Teeeeheeee, you're right, the Doctor and Ianto will be interesting.

I read that & sat here trying to think what show Equity was. *sigh*

*is stupid*

And yes, I think it's a distinct possibility they will!

Awww, doesn't matter. The name only stuck with me because of an awesome David Tennant quote.

I don't remember it word for word, but it was something about how used to consider himself special, having kissed Billie Piper, but after she did Secret Diary half of Equity had had a go.

*g*

That is completely made of win. Ahh Gene lol. I wish I knew how to do clever things like that with my laptop. *curses Mac and its ability to boggle the mind* I don't even know how to take a shot of my desktop. fail.

Lovely new layout and header.!

Oh, this was just a stroke of luck, believe me. I figured out how to do it years ago and it stuck with me. For the most part I just wail and try to speak to my laptop nicely, in the hope that it'll do what I want it to.

I'm a PC'er. My aunty has a MAC. It boggles my mind. No right click! No right click! Eeeeek.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! It's quite...purple, isn't it? *g*

When I talk to my laptop it talks back! My friend turned on the voice thingy when I first got it and I've never been able to turn it off. The freakiest thing is in the middle of the night when I've just left it and forgotten to turn it off and this eerie voice floats across the room saying "You are now running on reserved battery power'. Scared the shit out of me the first time

I get a right click when I tap two fingers on the track pad. But the mouses for Mac freak me out.

Purple is a good colour! More purple I say.

Eeeeeeeek, that's scary! I don't think mine does that, thankfully. Does it ever say anything funny?

Actually, I'm reminded of an old game we used to have on an ancient conputer, called Clive. You'd type to it and hold written conversations with it - if you swore three times, it'd shut its own program down. Used to amuse me to no end. It'd be all there's no need for that language and if you keep that up, I'll shut down.

Oh, good - there is a right click. What're the Mac mice like?

More Purple! Here, here!

It doesn't nearly have enough personality to be funny. Though you can program different voices. Totally wish it was like Tony Stark's AI system. That would make me lol

:o a prudish computer? how amazing!

It doesn't have a right click or left click...it's just a click. No separate buttons, just one big one. Weriiid.
