Fair enough, because we Brits do too. They don't really exist outside the show any more, since cops had radios from the late 60s and a whole mess of better tech now. There are only a handful of real blue Police Boxes still in existence on location, mostly for historical or tourism reasons - even at the time the show started they were becoming an anachronism. Tip: if you go to London, particularly if you're going to London Film & Comic Con, there's one - and the only working one fulfilling its original functions - right outside Earl's Court tube station. (Needless to say, many nerds taking turns to get the shot). The red ones you see in Praetoria are the Scottish version, and there's dozens of those in Glasgow - but about half are in disrepair, and the other half are hipster coffee bars. Not sure which is worse. Also, many Brits refer to your typical work site/festival PortaPotty as a TURDIS. Just to keep the thread classy, y'know.

It's finally (just!) Christmas Eve. Unlikely to be on again till after the food coma's worn off so here's the one I've been saving. Happy Christmas and blessed Yule. May your homes and hearts be filled with light. And if you keep it in your hearts all year...you don't let the bells end. Or something. DW x The Darkness - Don't Let The Bells End

So: I'm not sure which is inspired by which, but the What If... reality disintegration FX are mirrored here. The "never meant for any of this to happen" line - is that Strange Prime or Ultimate/What If Strange speaking? Wanda immediately thinks Doc is here to take her in for the Westview incident and is surprised by the change in tack. Slightly more literal, Green Lantern type spell FX on show (buzzsaw? bus-saw? take your pick) Very brief glimpse of America Chavez Mordo being smarmy again. But for once, he may have a point. Whaddya think?

Didn't run across @Heraclea except here, but loved their forum posts (and musical taste). May they rest in light.

Hard agree. It's cheap'n'nasty stuff compared to what you'd get on a car seat. Fabric or mesh much better (especially in summer - or right now when you're going in and out of heating). The slipcovers not only stop me getting covered in little bits of black and blue tacky stuff, it's a lot more comfortable for long work sessions. Thing is, the more expensive gaming chairs have arms that adjust up and down but not completely away, so if you were thinking about using it for guitar practice they're not completely ideal.

Weirdly, you might need to go a bit down-market. My chair's arms fold back and away rather than down, and it was a basic b**** one from Staples UK - similar to but a bit cheaper than this one: https://www.staples.com/staples-gaming-chair-black-and-green/product_2829476 It's comfy enough, but the faux-leather started disintegrating a while back. At which point I got some £8 stretch nylon covers off Amazon that made it look better than new.

Well, you're somebody's Big Damn Hero now.

ahhhaaaahhaa. Mine is an evil laugh. But yes, definitely him, and did a small squee/air punch when VdO's name came up in the (very nifty Saul Bass-inspired) credit animations. Speaking of Hitchcock...
