    "...I like it when somebody digresses..."

    Okay. So I now have a proper title for this place. Whilst I did like Jibber Jabber, it really didn't seem right. "Digression", on the other hand, is perfect as it's not only something I do all the blimmin' time, it's also a rather neat Catcher in the Rye reference (see quote to right).

    I rather like it...

    ...and I hope you will, too.

    That's if anyone ever actually comes here and reads this...

    "...every day my confusion grows..."

    I'm confused.

    I'm watching this programme about the first pregnant man, and the thing that strikes me is that the man appears to be a woman who has undergone some hormone therapy as the initial part of a sex change operation; but the operation has not yet taken place, and s/he appears to still have all of their female reproductive organs intact.

    I may be being really naive, or daft, or missing out on a really important point; but in what way is this the first pregnant man?

    I'd really be happy if someone could clear up my confusion on this.

    Cheers!


    Edit: okay. So I know that with gender reassignment a person can take the opposite gender to that which they were born with; but in this specific case this process had not been completed. They still had all their female reproductive organs. Thus, from a purely biological perspective; she was a female. I just can't see it any other way...

    The Lagoon.

    In Central Park.

    In winter.

    Now with extra added blog!

    A quick update on this site;

    1 - There will now be no massive update to the missing Dr Who rumours article. I don't think it would serve any great purpose. I'll probably just do ad-hoc tinkering with it. There's a new bit I need to add in, some minor rewriting of some of the sections, and a bit about the best way to handle things if you think you've found a missing episode, but wholesale changes are out. The one thing I do still want to do is produce a fully annotaated version, listing sources etc for everything. That'll be in the form of a pdf, and will probably take me quite some time to do, so don't expect it next week. Or even next month... : )

    2 - The TV page lasted a long time, didn't it...? It is over, and any stuff that would have gone there will go here. Which will be better as all you people reading this (yes, both of you!) can add comments!

    3 - Another reason for this blog is to cross-post here things I post as notes on my Facebook account. Some of the things there - my Borg mission for one thing - could do with a wider audience. He says, egotistically...

    4 - I am hopeful that, come next year, there will be more proper content on this site...

    5 - There will be a new and improved Wombat page here, too... I mean, for a start the old one isn't even linked to anywhere...

    6 - If anyone could do me a banner to go at the top of the page here, that would be marvellous; needs to say "Jibber Jabber" in it, but other than that... be creative. Got to be 660 pixels wide, though, apparently. Not sure about the height, but about the height of the current box would be perfect, I think...
