The Final Zone

The ramblings of a nerdy twentysomething socialist wannabe-author. Because there's really not enough of those on the internet, y'know?

I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful girlfriend/soulmate, Caitlin, who makes my life far richer.

Once described as "like a very sensual monkey." I'm strangely proud of this.

So, this is how I spent the first half of my day! Went to the Tenth Planet Events signing in Barking, and met Sophie Aldred again, getting an autograph for Caitlin as we’re watching through Seven’s era now, as well as meeting PATRICIA QUINN! I’ve been a Rocky Horror fan pretty much my whole life, so this was a huge thrill. First member of the cast I’ve ever met (although I did see two live on stage before). She was lovely, telling me when she saw my limited edition boxset that she has the one labelled as #1, but has always been too worried to open it! She also kept walking around the desk to take pictures with everyone. So that was very nice!

After the signings, they did a Q&A, and the first part was most reminiscing about the filming of Dragonfire, and a lot of rhapsodising about Bonnie Langford’s talent. Having just listened to The One Doctor on the way there, I have to concur. When she’s given the right script, she’s fantastic! Patricia Quinn also shared an anecdote in which she ended up wearing Bonnie’s knickers!

So yep, all in all, a good day!

Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to- hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you - daft as a bush, but very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have “lost”. What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Here’s some more slightly malevolent cow memes, based on this:



  • Caitlin: I dreamt that I had multiple personalities.
  • Me: And what did the other personalities dream about?
