They say that you only need to repeat things three times for it to be funny. This is aptly demonstrated by a YouTube video (via b3ta) which has compiled every single instance of a character in Doctor Who saying "What are you doing here?". Over the last 30 years or so. They say that you only need to repeat things three times for it to be funny.
For the first couple of minutes, it's not really that funny, but then there are so many instances of it that it just wins you over by sheer repetition and then you're just silently guffawing away. They say that you only need to repeat things three times for it to be funny.
Maybe this is where my slight fear of Saturday nights started, after I spent five years living in Cardiff City Centre and seeing sights like this most Saturday nights. And Friday nights. And Wednesday nights, for that matter. And, of course, hearing teenagers sobbing and arguing outside my bedroom window at 2am. But I did kinda like it, in the sense there was always life outside my window. So why go any further?
These pics are part of a gallery that a photography student is having exhibited in London. One of my flatmates used to also take random pics of drunk people on the streets of Cardiff. Then he graduated to video - and there's a classic one where he's filming two very drunk women arguing with a bouncer, and then they slowly turn to camera and shout "WHAT THE F**K DO YOU THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT?"

Over the weekend, a new TWO-MINUTE-LONG epic advert - of the kind they just don't really make any more - has attempted to summarise the key events of British history over the last 122 years, all in order to sell some bread.
The interesting bit to me - aside from the token shoving in of an ethnic minority couple for a flash second - is that the 1984 Miner's Strike and the Millennium celebrations are accorded almost as much "screen-time" as World War 1 & 2. (More details on the making of the advert via the MediaGuardian)

I'm not a car person - I drive an elderly Daewoo Matiz with all the power of a lawnmower - and yet, Top Gear is one of the reasons why I value paying my BBC licence fee. (The other reasons being Dragons' Den, Doctor Who, Newsnight - oh, and it's illegal and immoral for me not to!)
So the news that the Top Gear team are going on tour around the world sounds really good, especially sine the first performance is round the corner. Does this mean, though, there'll be less new Top Gear on our screens? There's only so many repeats on Dave that I can watch ... actually, that's a lie. I happily leave multiple repeats of Top Gear on as nice background noise all the time!
Anyone else excited at the prospect of Top Gear Live?
