on bananas

[burntcopper]

Well, for those of you who weren't sickened by the last set of mental images I gave you* (maybe I can become the new Warren Ellis, only in text form...), I have question re: Dr Who and bananas. Bananas have been a ... thing.... in Dr Who for both of the last two Doctors. full of potassium *and* good for daiquiris. Was it ever thus? (understand that I am a simple, average resident of the UK - I have vague memories of watching Sylvester McCoy as a child because it was on at that time of day, I remember seeing Peter Davison but completely blnked out any memory of Colin Baker, and that's about it until Eccleston came along.)

*I love how they arrive - an email with just the manuscript ID number in the header and 'aaaaaaaaaaargh' as the content. With occasional 'Don't look at this. No, *really*.'

Went into HMV to get voucher for the cousin due to Accessorise completely failing on bags for teenagers unless said teenager is a fashionista like my cousin Rose or a devotee of all things sparkly. Dammit. It caters perfectly for the under-twelves and any girl *over* eighteen who probably has a job. Not anything inbetween.

In the queue, saw headphones, which I've been meaning to get for a while for anywhere that isn't work (I can't have in-ear phones due to the buds being too big, and my other ones live at work due to being big indestructible chunky fuckers that're simply impractical to carry anywhere), grabbed those, and on my way out walked down the sale aisle that had...er... North and South for £11 and Superman Returns (the new one) for £5. And I can't watch either until December. :wails:

Just got back from Carluccio's. Nano!

*points. mocks.*

You'll be how many eps behind on RH eps by December? *cackles and runs off into the night*

I have the same problem with in-ear headphones being too big which is why I love the Sony Fontopia ones. They come with different sized buds and the small ones are the absolute perfect size. Also, really good sound and, because they sit right inside the ear, they do a good job of blocking external noise, too.

The only problem is that they rarely last more than a year.

I can't wear in-ear headphones either, so I have a nice pair of Sennheiser over ear ones that fold up nice and small. Something like these ones.

PD's 5th Doctor had a thing for celery, and of course Tom Baker's foodstuff-of-choice was jelly-babies, but I can't say I remember any other incarnations of the Doctor having a particular penchant for bananas, no. Maybe RTD is especially fond of them?
