Linkblogging For 28/03/11

Sorry, I’m in that sort of mood today.
Don’t worry, it made me laugh. (As always I choose to believe that I can exclude myself from your blanket condemnations of Who fandom)
Oh yeah, it was totally someone else who’s not me that broke your window by throwing a threatening note wrapped round an Enemy At The Door – The Complete Series DVD set.
