concerning Tom Baker's birthday

Twitter keeps telling me Tom Baker is 78 today. That's BLOODY RIDICULOUS. My grandfather is 78. Tom Baker is not the same age as my grandfather. Tom Baker is Santa Claus and timeless and magic, and I suggest we freeze him at once and then wake him up in like a thousand years when a whole new world can benefit from his awesome wisdom and voice and boggly eyes.

...

Boggly is almost certainly a real word, I'm sure. (And if it's not, it should be.) I'm not using boggling, boggling is rubbish.

Livejournal ATE MY COMMENT.

Trying again.

I bought Tom Baker's Ultimate Sci-Fi Quiz in a charity shop the other day, and cannot WAIT to try it out with my erstwhile MA in Science Fiction colleagues when I visit them next month.

He's a real legend.

We have that DVD. If you play it a few times, some of the clips and questions will tend to become repetitive (while some others possibly never come up - the nature of randomness I guess), but it should prove fun for the odd game or two over time. When we saw that Tom Baker had a sci fi quiz DVD, we just knew we had to get it!

Oh, it's mainly just for drunken japes with SF fans - I can't see it being played more than once or twice! But thanks for the review, glad I'm not the only one who's got it - I had similar feelings when I saw it, that it had got to be mine!
