Nakahara, I wouldn't watch it as a documentary - it's a film with a story, a dramatisation of real events.   To be fair, it's stated in the film that the parliamentary hearing is imaginary (as it's taking place in 2020!).  However, I think the most outrageous things in it are true!  (The bus, etc.). 

I second that.
I've been following the news coverage since my already paid-for trip depends on the outcome. The dramatisation in the movie is quite obvious, like with some characters' exaggeration, but facts remain facts, like misleading people with the NHS logo.

I absolutely loved the film. I felt like there were a few parallels to Sherlock and The Thick of It. The film is very controversial and makes viewers boil with rage no matter what side they were on two years ago.

And the premiere just one week before the upcoming vote? Perfect timing.

Also, it was quite clear from the trailer but the film showed even clearer why Benedict would take on a role of a Brexiter.
 

Somebody leaked 50 seconds of Jodie's first episode. Not spoilery at all but I couldn't help thinking of Jim in TAB when she went

"It's on the tip of my" - and pointed at her tongue

It's so exciting! I'm glad they keep the fandom going, whatever this project is! I also hope people outside of London will get something out of it too

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up!

Are you talking about a recommendation or a comment?

I'd put concrit into a comment only when asked. A private message is a good option too. Sometimes if I really love a story but there is something that bugs me about it, I put it into my review too - among other things and keeping in mind that a lot of these things are a matter of taste.

When recommending a story elsewhere (also if the writer can see my rec), I point out all the reasons to read it as well as my personal warnings like OOC or poor grammar. Some people won't mind a bit of OOC, others will rush to read the story since it's SO good despite its shortcomings... You provide information and people decide what to do with it.

I think you're fine either way as long as you come across as a friendly person sharing your opinion.

Ah, rings a bell now

Heh, I'm glad you could post it after all! Because that pic is Oh and Aah!!!

I'll report back when I've seen some of his eps! But don't hold your breath :D
It took me about half a year to get over David's regeneration and I've seen Matt's just a few days ago, so you can do the math

I'm not doubting anything either, I know that children pick up on languages instantly. It's just that there's no low-maintanence languages. You need to have a reason to use even the easiest languages frequently or they'll wither and die in your head.

Both my daughter and I speak three languages, none of them as sophisticated as Mandarin, and I notice all the time that the day on this planet is way too short to flex all three of them properly on any kind of a regular basis. But I do try. It's more difficult with my kid because it's hard to find a legit (in the eyes of a 9 yo) reason to pick up a book in the least favorite language when there are so many others available.

Multilingual people say you need three good reasons to learn a language and keep it. Like living in its country, having a loved one who speaks it, or becoming fascinated with the associated culture. I just don't see what reasons Scottish children have to keep investing time in Mandarin when they are a little older.
