Shite. Just got a call from mum - one of my uncles has been diagnosed with cancer of the oesophagus, plus tumours behind the eyes so he can't see too well either now. Prognosis and survival rate is apparently not too wonderful, and he'd been looking forward to early retirement just before this.

Kind of mostly worried about my cousins, since their mum only just finished cancer treatment (for the second time) a couple of years back. Gah.

...This post was originally going to about torchwood bunnies and adoration of Ugly Betty and the assistants cabal, with added Marc being Justin's fabulous gay fashion-obsessed mentor. Rome love continues apace.

Oh well. Let it also be known that I have inflicted megolas with Torchwood/Planetary crossover bunnies in relation to something I said about the episode style fic. And now I want a conversation between Jenny Sparks and Jack Harkness. (century babies need love)

Scaring people at work with coughing and wheezing. Oh, go *away*, it's just noise and all it means is that I'm not in spanking perfect health. You haven't said anything about the sneezing of the past week.

I'm glad you've got various things that are shiny, pretty and/or violent to distract you.

Sorry to hear of the bad news. That sort of thing is more treatable nowadays, but even so he`s his familly around him.
That counts.

Trying to be on a lighter note - wonder if Jack ever visited the Napoleonic era - Capt Jack Harkness, 95th Rifles ?

Would probably have to be during his Time Agent and conman days, since general prognosis is that he's been living on earth chronologically post Bad Wolf since late victorian/earlier years of the 1900s.

And you. put the bunnies down. and the coat. And the 95th rifles officer's uniform. So many soldiers, so little time... Especially blond ones with Yorkshire accents who have trouble keeping their trousers up around good-looking people on a mission. (What was the name of the exploring officer played by James Purefoy again? Ended up being some sort of traitor due to time he'd spent being tortured by the French, I think.)

Captain - The Lord Spiers I think...
