I hate the word "Whovian". It feels like a semi-affectionate pejorative more than anything I've never used that term. Why is a cutsie word needed? I'm just a Who fan. Except these days, for obvious reasons, it's amended to Classic Who fan. If I'm talking non fans irl, I refer to it as the original series, or the 'old' series. I make sure people understand that I don't like the modern shite. Obviously some younger people think RTD1 is the old stuff. Understandable as it's been around for nearly 20 years now, but I still put them right. lol I don't even say anything. I think I said this before (I'm losing my memory), but I went to a group where one person was wearing a Cyberman badge. Ten years ago I would have said, "I like the show too." Nowadays I stay quiet. |

If it was a NuWho fan, I wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to show my disdain. 😉😆 |

I told her her Tennant was crap and that she should go and watch Colin Baker...  I'm not proud of it. But not ashamed, either...  |

But not ashamed, either... 😆 On a kind of similar tangent, I'd occasionally cross paths with young metal fans blithering about people like Yingwie Malmsteen inventing sweep-picking arpeggios and other such bullshit. I'd say, "mate, Django Reinhardt was doing all that shit in the 1930s on an acoustic guitar, with only 2 fingers". 😆 |

"So, this "Jang-go", was he hair metal or death metal..?" |

Django Reinhardt
