Doctor Who: The Stone Rose (Jacqueline Rayner)

Genre : science-fiction

Mickey is startled to find a statue of Rose in a museum a statue that is 2,000 years old. The Doctor realises that this means the TARDIS will shortly take them to Ancient Rome, but when it does, he and Rose soon have more on their minds than sculpture. While the Doctor searches for a missing boy, Rose befriends a girl who claims to know the future a girl whose predictions are surprisingly accurate. But Then the Doctor Stumbles On The hideous truth behind the Statue of Rose and Rose herself Learns That You Have to Be Careful What You Wish very forum.

The opinion of the Mammoth:

Small summary very fast, half-translated half-improvised: the poor Mickey is confused when he discovers a museum a statue of Rose-old 2000 years! The Doctor has no trouble understanding this mean that Rose and he will soon visit Ancient Rome (damned, this expression disturbs me every time, that rhyme like a bad pun !!)... But when it finally occurs, they soon find themselves overtaken by events and forget for a time the story of sculpture. As a young boy has mysteriously disappeared, and the Doctor is determined to start looking for him. Rose, meanwhile, meets a strange girl who seems able to predict the future. Soon, the Doctor will discover the horrible truth about the origin of the statue ... Rose and Rose herself will discover that we must be extremely careful when formulating a wish!

That's the frame of the story ... What can I say? Well, I loved it! Decidedly, Jacqueline Rayner is very gifted to recreate the very special series! There are passages really hilarious, no one imagines evil projected onto a television screen!

The plot itself is colorful, and personally I was surprised a few occasions, although I guessed a little behind the famous statue in the early chapters.

In short, I spent some quality time together this book (and With The Doctor, of course!). One of the best books derived from the series I've read so far! Besides, I devoured en sept petites heures, c'est une preuve qui en dit long !

Deux petits extraits fort drôles (à mon goût) pour la route :

(...) Ursus stepped forward. 'Watch your tongue when you speak to the goddess!' he snarled. The Doctor frowned. 'I think that would make speaking rather difficult,' he sa id. He stuck his tongue out and crossed his eyes to look down on it. 'Therterly inghockigal," he said. (p 171-172)

(...) 'Blimey,' said Rose. 'Hey, are all stories based on disappearing time tracks, then?'

'Oh, yes,' she was told. 'Elves, pixies, gnomes - the Moomins, Chorlton and the Wheelies, SpongeBob SquarePants - they all tried to invade you at some point. There was a galactic inquiry when Robocop came out. And as for the five famous justices of the future who disguised themselves as four children and a dog (although I think the dog was a mistake) in order to wipe out the crimes of kidnapping and smuggling for all eternity - well, I think they're still trapped in a time loop somewhere with nothing but ginger beer and potted-meat sandwiches to sustain them. Not to mention Miss Marple - Miss Martian, more like. Used her truth ray to get all those confessions until the Time Police tracked her down. Zapped her and the whole of St Mary Mead out of existence. Which is a shame, because There was a lovely little cafe in The High Street Where They did "brilliant custard tarts."

Is That True? " Vanessa gasped.

'No,' Said Rose. 'You learn to know about one word in five he says. I mean, He Was Pretending To Be Poirot discussed earlier. He's sort of mood I'm his. " (p 225-226)

Rockman Subbed Online

Where the Mammoth grunts (that's not new) after Pal ...

In recent months, the approach of relocation / moving assisting, Mammoth has plunged the tube into his cabinet to begin a spring clean (in February, yes, I know, it's logical !)...

He sifted through his belongings: books, DVDs, video games ... and has set out to sell the stuff, gadgets that inspired him most. So far, nothing unusual, given that the mammoth is a big fan of PriceMinister (mammouthesques the amount of sales in six years time, astronomy is enough !)...

EXCEPT that history to accelerate the process, Mammoth has decided to also sell some items on eBay recalcitrant. With method of payment check or Paypal. Of course, all buyers have opted for Paypal. And this is where we laugh.

careful, eh, the mammoth loves to use PayPal, and it does not fully spitting in the soup (ugh, this expression is horribleuh!). Paypal to pay is better. Super simple, secure, fast, short, yay, long live Paypal. When one is YOU.

When we SELLER is something else.

Why? Not because of the costs, which are still quite reasonable (especially compared to fees charged, for example, by Amazon when you venture to sell something! Those, they are crossed vampires!) But because of a political cretin who certainly protects the buyer ... but at the expense of sellers. And that's where we enters the Grand Anything.

A small example illustrating the point:

Say Ms. Zig decides to sell a DVD on eBay. She is auctioning, and after ten days, Mr. Moo who wins the jackpot . Mr Moo has a choice between sending a simple letter and sending Colissimo, both options being offered in the advertisement by Mrs. Zig. Mr. Moo is mild satisfaction, but stingy, so he chose the l sending . He pays the amount due via Paypal Ms. Zig , which recovers its sub and reverse on his bank account, then shipping the valuable DVD box to Mr Moo, by letter SIMPLE so. Until then, no problem.
Except, of course, that Ms. Post has decided to complicate the matter misguiding the package. This, as we well know, never happens! (Ironically it) La Poste? Misplace a package? oooooh, but it's science fiction! (Ironic mode off)
short. This is our Mr. Moo that rattle because it has not received his package. He wants to believe in the good faith of this poor Lady Zig, but thin, he paid, and he received nothing, it's infuriating. So he started a complaints procedure through Paypal. And at that moment, ladies and gentlemen, it turns into the Fourth Dimension.
Because with Paypal, they are funny: not to be liable for loss of a product, the seller must prove it was sent. This is obviously not possible when sending SIMPLE. So, even if the buyer has deliberately chosen to send while sending SIMPLE FOLLOW proposed, the vendor is penalized and must pay back, brace yourselves, all of the shop: Basically, he not only lost the object, but it also has lost sub. All because of the Bermuda Triangle Post. You believe you?

The best part is that if the poor as Zig Madam, you are dispatched to retrieve them in your side on your bank account, Paypal allow itself to recover the amount due DIRECTLY TO YOUR ACCOUNT BANK! Without asking permission, of course, otherwise it would not be funny!

So yes, we will reply, "but it is to protect buyers of possible scams!"
Yep.
Except ... that protects the seller? Because of course, a seller can rip off a buyer by claiming to have sent something he never actually had.
But that will prove that Mr. Ms. Zig Moo never received the DVD box set, eh?


Moral of the story (unfortunately experienced): on eBay, forget the simple sending , only offer the Colissimo! But it's absurd, anyway, especially when we know mouarf then, that Paypal has been created by an eBay ... In that case, why do not they just needed to prohibit vendors offer single items, eh?

How To Introduce A Tampon

Por Mary, Fred y Ramuncho (ette)

Today, I would write a very special message as it is for our fellow travelers, and I would rather say our "guides" because they are the ones who started the first to open the road to the path of happiness ...

59 months ago, Mary & Fred were accepted on the waiting list in Colombia, and then have some happy the nested not much should - I say! We were part of the tribe parents waiting and we are inclined towards each other, the difficult moments of each were supported by the blogosphere whole.

Month by month, year after year, our little treasures arrived to brighten our homes, and Mary was again and again with his smile, his little intentions so precious to me. A small card, a gift prepared for each parent at RB 3, a telephone conversation, a small packet to the arrival of children ...
Mary was always there on the roadside waiting for that famous phone call, but nothing!
Marie Fred & began to believe they had missed their bus and then their unwavering optimism has worn until February 17, 2011.

Mary and Fred , I wish you the greatest happiness, with a child that you call Mom and Dad, you can kiss out of breath, which will make you proud of all his exploits, which will tell you that the wait was well worth the shot despite all these years of suffering because that child is yours and it could be otherwise!
good trip for all new parents! We are so happy for you 3.
