Only one thing excites me about Christmas-the-secular-festival and it is this.

Tin Drummer Interview
About Me
- Bill Haydon
- Generally speaking I write on loads of subjects, however I like, with whatever level of anger and ignorance takes my fancy.

My other blog is a maths blog, sort of for boring the pants off anyone who passes by with A Level stuff.
It's at Completing the Square.
It's at Completing the Square.
Raising My Self Esteem:
"Blog Tin Drummer is written by unperson. Rectify" Crushed, Crushed By Ingsoc
"...you garner a lot of respect from people for the quality of your writing." DK, Devil's Kitchen
"F*** me sideways with a chain saw what a damn good blog." Bradford Vision
"An A-blogger if ever there was one, The Tin Drummer has this cursed no-comments policy which I feel detracts from the universal blog-purpose and yet he may be right. Perhaps experience dictates that comments are a mere distraction. Who knows? The best bloggers have their fingers on the pulse, if we might put it that way and TTD does this to perfection.."
James Higham, Nourishing Obscurity
"This is clearly a bright guy. He has something to say and he's not dithering about it." Tom Paine, The Last Ditch
"A source of insightful commment, the thoughts contained within are a great help in developing your pub debates." City Unslicker
"The tin drummer can also make cricket interesting to me, no mean feat as I’ve said. On this blog you will find clear political analysis, beautiful descriptive writing and some self-deprecating humour as well. I love his recent posts on why he has been driven to swear online! All posts are delivered in an excellent and riveting prose style. The tin drummer has a great flair for post titles, too!", WL, Sicily Scene
"So evocative with a dark edge..." Colin Campbell

A whole 70 minutes of 'Doctor Who' on Christmas day! We truly are living in a golden age. :-)
Have you seen the trailer for Torchwood series 2 on Youtube yet?
That'll be the Dr. Who theme tune with the added drums (and I claim my £5).
Gx
Hmm I was well off with a re-run of Little and Large's 1979 Christmas Spectacular....
Nice one, Matt and Grendel (£5 available if you call -094 1981063 - calls charged at £42 per minute and last at least 94 minutes).
Jams - nice try. I wouldn't mind a bit of Little and Large, but we're 20 years too late, sadly.
Matt - no I haven't Why? any good?
It looks okay.
Rumours are that they've improved the characterisation - making them more likeable. Hard to tell from the 2 minute trailer (its on Youtube).
PS - I've just watched 'Father's Day' again (Cornell's first Doctor Who), and I've only just realised that both it and 'Human Nature / The Family of Blood' are retelling's of the gospel story but with the emphasis on it being an ordinary man (Rose's dad and John Smith) who give their lives to save mankind. Was I just dense in not noticing that before?
