Diary of an old cheeser

Hi there! Like other blogs, this is my chance to wax lyrical (some might say talk utter cr*p) about a) what's happening in my life b) all of my pet obsessions in particular music, tv, movies, books and other generally connected things, quite often of the retro, old and "cheesy" variety. Hence the title of my blog. Feel free to leave a comment if the mood takes you. There's nothing like a good chinwag about one's favourite topics and besides I love to meet new people! Cheers, Simon

He's regenerated again!!

Attention all Alphans!! (and Earthlings, bloggers and any other general beings come to that...)

This is Sandra Benes speaking, from Main Mission on Moonbase Alpha. At present I'm on an out-of-control moon that's shooting through space. Slightly inconvenient and we've absolutely no f*cking idea where we're going to end up. Oh do forgive me, that was very unlady-like. Do you like my 1970s page boy cut and bangs?


Oh dear, I'm going slightly off the point aren't I. But I do have a VERY important announcement to make:
Timewarden has regenerated!! Again!! He's back, back, BACK! Yes, my colleague, Old Cheeser, had to laugh when he went over to Timewarden's blog and found that he'd written some new posts, like this one and this one! It seems that the lure of blogging is just too much for all of us. Anyway, welcome back once again Tim! This must be your third incarnation now. Soon you'll be catching up with a certain Time Lord in the regeneration stakes...

Well, I'm off to change into a skimpy leopardskin costume so I can get manhandled by a load of cavemen. There's only so many times that a girl can sit behind a desk and saying "We've lost contact, Commander" you know!" And if you don't know what I'm talking about, you've very, very sad. Byeeeee!!

Ta Ta ,Timewarden...

Timewarden is leaving us. Again. He's just announced he's closing down his blog. AGAIN. Nooooo!!!

He left us once. Then thankfully he regenerated (an appropriate anaology) and gave us more wonderfully researched, passionate posts that showcased his encylopediac knowledge of TV, film and music.

One of Tim's major passions is Dr Who - hence our mutual interest - although unlike me, he's been seriously unimpressed with the new, resurrected DW brought to us by Russell T Davies since 2005 (although my regular readers might know that I too have been harbouring growing doubts about the judgement of the Welshman and his effect on the future of the sci-fi prog. I'm getting more cynical by the hour...) Anyway despite our diametrically opposed views, Tim and I shared some passionate debates about DW which I really enjoyed and it was great exchanging opinions.

So I'm very sad to see him go. I hope he visits me here from time to time. And I've promised that I would write a post on Space:1999 (one of his favourite progs, pic above) for some time ... I will, one day, promise ...

Bye bye, Tim and good luck. Can't we persuade you to regenerate again? After all the Dr has done it numerous times, hasn't he?
