Torchwood

[bunn]

Not sure how I feel about our ludicrous one-sided extradition treaty with the USA now being a pop culture reference. Mind you if it is all down to aliens, that would at least be some sort of explanation for the damn thing.

On the other hand : Yay!  Rhossili beach!   I was going to post a photo of the hounds running there, but philmophlegm beat me to it with a photo with Gwen and Rhys's house in the background. 

This means that philmophlegm, despite his air of elaborate scorn for all things canine -  has posted, unprompted, a photo of a doggy. Bwahahahahahaha!

... and another thing, the Kindle version of A Dance with Dragons is 20p more expensive than the print copy.  Surely paper is more expensive than bandwidth? Or is it purely lack of competition?

I was not excited about Torchwood this year, after they killed off my favorite character (yes, I realize that doesn't exactly narrow it down), but I'll admit to being excited now. Even though they kinda made all the Americans look like turds. I wonder how that could have come about. Hm.

Actually, I had no idea about a one-sided extradition treaty, but now I'll have to look into it.

We had not planned on going to Wales next summer, but now we might just have to because I want my picture in front of that house and I want to see the lovely beach. (adds more to list)

Also, as an aside, I'd like to apologize for my country. No real reason, it just seems necessary now and then :)

Oh, I quite liked the CIA bloke, Rex. He was so splendidly miffed! (though, surely you have toll bridges in the USA? I'm glad you commented, now I have someone to ask about that...)

I wasn't sure what to expect from this season, after Children of Earth, it seemed like it would be hard to come back, but I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode.

If you are coming to Cornwall and London, South Wales isn't a huge diversion - that beach is on the Gower near Swansea, which is where I grew up till I was 12. It does rain more than Cornwall, but my goodness it's a beautiful place. Less touristy than Cornwall, but I dont' really know why - we've been on holiday there!

LOL, I think the ludicrous extradition treaty is 100% down to the craven and glamour-blinded nature of our idiot politicians. I mean, what sort of a government, presented with the idea 'we want you to just send us any of your citizens that we think might be a problem' says 'Yes, where do I sign?'

I can't help feeling that the US guys must have been looking at each other going 'did he really say that???' at that point in the negotiations.
