    Too right! Had an ace gig lined-up, was running a bit late, thought I'd commandeer the TARDIS... ended up on bloody Gallifrey and had my arse kicked by the then still very much alive Rassilon. By time I'd escaped, the gig had been awarded to a homophobic Cyberman. Bastard!

    I hate being late for meetings, I can't imagine that you performed to your best in those circumstances.
    I use Google Earth. It came in very useful three years ago when I couldn't find a decent street map of Belgrade.

    Great minds think alike, I said this to my Dad on the phone when he rang to ask me how it went.

    One of these things used to have a space warp somewhere around Cambridge, I recall once scrolling one image to left and finding I was 200 miles away.

    Horrible cramped things, I much prefer my customised 747.
