Welcome to 2008. I saw the New Year in in the Welsh capital city Cardiff.
Cardiff’s main pull for geeky tourists like myself is that Russel T. Davies films a lot of his new reimagined Doctor Who here. The city is crawling with locations. In fact, Torchwood, Doctor Who’s bastard offspring series is entirely set here. I find both series’ Celtocentricity deeply irritating.
Wales is also famous for its national dish – cheese-on-toast. It’s very difficult to find in Cardiff as the place is bursting with chain Italian restaurants.
Anyway, I did visit the Millennium Bay and admired the fountain. Problem was, that all those thoughts of running water made me need the loo.
Oh no! Turns out that very flagstone was the secret entrance to Torchwood!

Christmas holidays at last. I’m taking some time off to work on my super-secret new Doubles army along with Matt. We’ve dreamt up a bizarre double-team that’s in some ways a 40K ménage à trois. It’s all very idyllic at the moment, with phonecalls co-ordinating the two forces’ colour schemes and dicscussions about how the forces will tactically complement each other – but that’s bound to go out the window as pre-tornie panic sets in. Actually, there’s only two more weekends until the Doubles. Oh no, panic’s kicked in now.
Matt pointed out on the Dice Not Blog that the Host from yesterday’s Doctor Who Christmas special reminded him of the classic Blood Angels captain.
Uncanny hmmm?
