  • We purchased moved into our townhouse in 2022, and except for me making a couple of calls to ask about fees and things, we haven’t heard anything from the owners corporation about meetings, plans or anything else. I suspect it’s the same for other townhouses.

    I don’t know if our block just has a rubbish owners corporation manager, but does anyone know if they are obligated to communicate anything to the property owners?




  • Managed to go into this without any-trailers/spoilers/etc. Hated the “Children in Need”-esque intro, it felt like the ye-olde cartoon before the movie starts.

    I can understand concerns about this being the second of only three Tennant/Tate episodes, that it’s the anniversary and we want big celebrations and megabucks worth of explosions and monsters and all that. Instead, we get a full episode with the two stars and their talent, no distractions or crawling through attics. PS. Sylvia and Wilf still - and always will - be awesome.

    This was like RDT’s and Moffat’s lovechild, like Midnight and Event Horizon and Alien. Confidently slow-paced with great writing and time for running around, and still having time for a proper ending rather than a magical macguffin arse-pull.

    Properly loved it.


  • As someone else wrote somewhere… RTD’s back, which means the carnival’s back in town. Lots of running about, flashing lights, loud music, a stunt show with exploding things and people shooting at each other, and comedy hi jinks.

    I liked the small things - the time vortex having open areas with multiple paths from 13, the helping/oh-shit-nope-not-helping with the stacking, the psychic paper not keeping up, ‘she’s fine/she’s not fine/been fine’, Sylvia’s “YOU!”, Donna’s ‘WHAT THE HELL!’, the ‘you can’t know your future conversation’ up until they mentioned (again) that Donna dies if she remembers. Didn’t mind the parademons, like the idea of the Sonic having a UI (but hated the shields), loved The Meep even after they got sidelined for the big ending. Console room was kinda meh still, big and bland atm.
