BBC Announce Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor Who

Sci-fi, TV, World News 17 Comments »

The BBC have just announced that virtually unknown, 26 year old actor Matt Smith will play the new Doctor Who; the Eleventh Doctor.

Matt Smith as our favourite Time-Lord.

Matt Smith will be the Eleventh Doctor since Doctor Who began in 1963 and takes over from the tenth Doctor, David Tennant, in either the 2009/2010 special. David Tennant was voted the best Doctor in a 2008 survey, so Matt Smith has big Time-Lord shoes to fill.

Matt Smith as The Doctor

Matt Smith was announced as the new Doctor Who on Doctor Who Confidential on BBC1 at 5.35pm on Saturday Jan 3rd 2009.

Matt Smith is the new Doctor WhoMatt Smith is a virtually unknown actor who I’ve totally never heard of and never seen a movie or TV show he’s been in. Who is he? Matt Smith has a wikipedia entry, which would be a sign of quality except that it was created during the announcement itself.

  • Eleventh Doctor Who Wikipedia Entry
  • Official Doctor Who Website

My initial reaction to this is to say that Matt Smith looks like slightly retarded with a giant forehead and no eyebrows. He looks like he should be crying and slitting his wrists in an Emo band, not flying in a TARDIS.

What I’m annoyed about most is that the Doctor is now the same age as me.
It’s not fair; I want to be the Doctor!

Doctor Who Confidential is now showing footage of Matt Smith in some other thing with glasses and quiffed hair. He looks a lot more human like that, but still not great. Obviously the BBC think he’s a good actor, so I suppose that’s good enough for me.

What do you think of Matt Smith as the new, Eleventh Doctor?

Obama Wins!

World News 1 Comment »

I Support Barack Obama BadgeBarak Obama has won the US Election with a land-slide result to become the first Black President of the United States.

I think America, Great Britain and the World all need a fresh face with fresh ideas, some-one who is war-weary and some-one who can unite the people and I’ve thought for a long time that Barack Obama is that person.

John McCain just seemed to be more of the same shit we’ve had for 8 years and I don’t really want that.

Let The Issues Be The Issue; Created by ad agency Grey GroupI supported and still support the War In Iraq in principle but the way it’s been played out, who the spoils of war went to and the down-turn in the global economy are all problems associated with Bush and the Republican Party.

A poster campaign was run in New York showing McCain as a black man and Obama as a white man; with the tagline:

Let The Issues Be The Issue

I think the issues were the issue. John McCain didn’t just lose out because of Barack Obama’s policies, background or even his amazing charisma. John McCain lost partly because George W. Bush has been fucking our planet in the arse for 8 years and even people who prefer to bury their head in the sand have had enough of the Republican Party.

It was fun to see how the Daily Mash summarised America’s main population centres on the map below:

Having been to Florida more than 10 times and being a huge Seinfeld fan I creased up when Florida was simply labelled as “Seinfeld’s Parents”.

I thought one of the most significant lines in Barack Obama’s acceptance speech was:

I will listen to you, especially when we disagree.

I’ve always thought that listening to people who don’t agree with you was one of the most important pieces of advice I could ever give anyone and is the key to good leadership.

Spurs Admit They’re Shit - lol, lmao, roflmao

World News 9 Comments »

Spurs, lol!

Spurs, lol!

For anyone who doesnt understand how beautifully concise my summary of Spurs performance is…

lol - Laugh Out Loud

lmao - Laughing My Arse Off

roflmao - Rolling On Floor Laughing My Arse Off

Spurs; The Clowns of the Premiership, lol!Several of my close friends are Spurs fans so for years I’ve had to listen to much moaning and whinging about how unfair it is that Spurs are not top of the table and how Spurs are destined for great things and how everyone is against Spurs.

What Spurs fans fail to realise is that everyone is against them because they are so arrogant in their belief that they are the best football team in the world (lol)! Despite the fact that Spurs’ trophy cabinet doesn’t go past the 1970s, lol.

Early this year I even heard a friend prophecise that Spurs will win the league in 2010, something we all dismissed as utter tripe.

But now it seems that Spurs will probably win the league in 2010; but not the Premiership; the Championship, lol! Spurs have had the worst start to the season since 1912 and are already fighting a relegation battle, lmao!

So I was amused to read this on Thursday…

Spurs; we're shit and we know we are!

Then on Saturday, Spurs sacked Ramos and nabbed Harry Redknapp from Portsmouth, the next day they won! To be honest, I’m pleased for them.

I’m not going to say that they’ve suffered enough, cos they havent (MORE SUFFERING!!!), but it’ll be much funnier if Spurs’ hopes are built back up a bit before being dashed again, roflmao!

So, Spurs are shit. Discuss…
