I grew up watching it on public television, so I end up watching the new ones whether I want to or not. It's like being a Catholic I suppose. Once a Dr Who fan always a Dr Who fan. I keep hoping they'll get interesting again, like the first season with Eccleston. Or that maybe they'll clone a new doctor from Tom Baker's afro.

Anyway - what is it with you guys and the new Doctor Who? Does it have some kind of camp appeal for you or something? For me it's like watching a Carry On film without the laughs.

Except it was coffee rather than tea. Not only did it bring my temp briefly down by getting me to sweat, it also made my clothes nice and damp. Which also helped keep me cool. AND in time it allowed my body to acclimate to the hot weather. Or, as you people with the fancy tea sets say, it's a lot of rubbish. Btw, we haven't got the new Doctor Who over here yet. Does he suck? :) When I lived in Chicago, where the summers are Africa hot, I used to adhere to that same belief as well. Except it was coffee rather than tea.

In England they say that if you drink a cup of really hot tea it will cool you down - now that's just an English excuse to keep drinking tea when even the weather is telling you not to. The reality of this absurd myth is that hot tea heats you up so much that you tip over the edge of heat tolerance and start sweating like a rapist in a line-up. If a cool breeze comes along then you're in luck and, hey-presto, you're cool too, but if it doesn't then you're fucked, you're just hot and sweaty. We are, it should be observed though, pathologically as obsessed with tea as we are with the weather.
