No prizes for guessing what this is supposed to be

Fish Fingers and Custard
To anyone who knows me I think it is fairly obvious that I am quite a big Doctor Who fan. Following a very random discussion in the pub on Tuesday, note ideas had in the pub are rarely good. It was decided that something that really had to be tried was fish fingers and custard, as made famous by Matt Smith in his first episode, The Eleventh hour. If you haven’t seen it the clip is available on YouTube, just search fish fingers and custard.
Wednesday, when I had the day off due to industrial action at school, me and the friend who had suggested this took a trip to Tescos and tried them. Needless to say I was not overly impressed. Then again Tescos value fish fingers and cold custard are not great on their own never mind when combined together. When I went to the NaNoWriMo thank God it’s over party on Thursday and mentioned this there was general mutterings that the pub we were going to on Saturday had a fish finger sandwich on their menu as well as assorted desserts that came with custard. It was at this point I said something rather stupid. Didn’t I say that ideas had in the pub are rarely good. “I’ll try them again if you guys do.”
So with my fate now sealed it made sense to dress up and do this as properly as possible. I will happily admit that on the three times I have worn this outfit I have felt rather more mad than normal, which is not a bad thing. Sometimes I wish I had that level of insane energy all the time. Life would certainly be more interesting. Anyways I digress. Thy were a lot better this time round, probably the combination of handmade fish fingers and piping hot custard that did it, but was a lot nicer. And this time round we even managed to get photos to prove it. How many geek points do I get for this?
The Doctor Dreams
Or rather it seems I dream about him.
No this is not going to become a regular feature but I woke up in such a good mood I had to share.
So I dreamt I was at the Welsh church helping at a rehersal for something. All seemed to be going ok when we had some unexpected visitors, two members of the royal family! No idea which two but as it was probably influenced by seeing the trailer for The King’s Speech earlier that evening I don’t think it matters. After a while they disapeared through one of the doors next to our stage that lead into one of the other church rooms.
After this a video was projected onto the stage, can’t remember anything about it apart from halfway through David Tennant was in it doing his ‘I am The Doctor’ speech. Brain goes oooh trailer for the next Doctor Who.
Next the man himself walks out of aforementioned door wearing a kilt, well he is Scottish. My brain does the most random things sometimes. And this is suddenly far more important than I’ve just met royalty.
Next thing I know he’s standing next to me in my black leather trenchcoat. I go to ask him if it’s mine and decide not to when he say’s ‘it’s ok, ask the question.’ So I do, it turns out it is my coat, one of the crew borrowed it from where I had left it apparently.
Finally he asks where the nearest Tesco’s is, answer right next door, and then asks if I want to go with him. Hmmm oppotunity to elope with The Doctor, yes please.
Funny thing is it’s not the first time I’ve dreamt about running away with The Doctor, the last time it was Matt Smith (the current one if you aren’t a fan). He sat next to me on a bus and said he liked my hat before asking me to go with him.
