Mrs Caolam and I left Young Master Caolam off at the Ulster University today. He is in the Halls of Residence and this is the start of Fresher's Week, only it is not called Fresher's Week anymore. He has more stuff than we have in our house. Mrs Caolam is most concerned that the Boy Child will not like being away from home, the Boy Child phoned tonight to say that he is fine and that he has met two girls and he is off to a party, Mrs Caolam is concerned the Boy Child will enjoy being away from home away! home too much. I went to the Ulster University when it was called the New University, that wasn't yesterday, or indeed the day before yesterday. Being old is a terrible thing, being young is a terrible thing; the only saving grace is that when you are young you don't have the sense to realise that it is a terrible thing. Experience has a lot to.answer for, life is a bit like being a supporter of Everton ..........you can fill in your own blanks !!!

Used to show this type of weird Eastern Bloc cartoons in the 70s on the BBC. Usually none the wiser once they'd finished.

I'm sorry but that was boring. It was just some midlife crisis cokehead rambling.

I still think about the chimps when I buy PG Tips. They were magic.
It was PG Tips wasn't it?

Best of luck to young Master Caolam. I remember when I picked up my no.2 son when he finished Uni. I borrowed a Volvo estate from work and it was hardly big enough to get all his stuff in. Boot crammed full, back seat floor to ceiling - and he gave a lot of stuff away to other students. He had been brewing his own beer and had all the kit!

Correct. The Doctor should look like an old schoolmaster who just happens to be a timelord.
