Title: Of Tiny White Vans and Time Machines

Rating: G

Disclaimer: The No 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency is the wonderful creation of Alexander McCall Smith. The Doctor Who franchise is lovingly created by the BBC. This is all a bit of fun and no profit is made by me or anyone else.

Summary: Once a month the Doctor visits a small garage in Gaborone, Botswana where the best mechanic in Botswana (and in the Doctor’s eyes, the whole universe) helps keep the TARDIS going that little bit longer. No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Doctor Who crossover, but you don’t need to have really read the books as it’s explained.

Spoilers: Set before Teatime for the Traditionally Built in the books and aside from being a Ten story, it can be slotted in anywhere in the Tenth Doctor’s reign. You can even decide which companion he’s with if you like.

Author’s Notes: It’s a bizarre idea, yes? A crossover between the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency and Doctor Who. It can’t be done, it shouldn’t be done...well, I don’t know about shouldn’t, but I’ve proved it can be done. The idea popped into my head and no matter how much I said ‘don’t be stupid’ it would go away. In the end I’m really happy with it. Considering it's been written while suffering exhaustion, I'm doing well!

 And anyway, I have a gut feeling that the Doctor would love Botswana.

Do you suffer from paraskevidekatriaphobia or know anyone who does?


View other answers

I don't suffer from it (and today, as days go, has been pleasant enough - dare I say good).

However I do have a fun Fri 13th story. It happened about ten years ago at school. I hope I'm not weird in this, but I have a favourite bathroom cubicle (you know - one you always go into if free - other people do that right?)

Ok, well, I went to the bathroom on Fri 13th and there - in front of the cubicle - was an open ladder. No one was around, and to go in I would have had to walk underneath it.

I guess you won't be surprised I didn't use that cubicle!

donna
I feel this should be celebrated!

Today I got my results back for all my work done over my first term of Uni. Our first year we only have to pass, results don't count, and so the pressure is off a bit.

The marking system is as follows (a rough and ready guide for those not familiar with the system)

First Class

1st* (exceptional)
1st (amazing)

Second Class

2.1 + (very high standard)
2.1 = (very good)
2.1 - (good)

2.2 + (some good points but not fabulous)
2.2= (average)
2.2- (ok but poor)

Third Class

3rd Class (Just passing)


It's been my aim to get a first (even just once) from day one, but I was told that it's unlikely we'll start getting firsts until 2nd year. Today I got my results back...(you can see where this is heading;)

The lowest result I got was a 2.2-
The highest....a lower 1st!!!!

Can't believe I did it in the first term!

Rating: G

How ironic is this?

I work for Marks and Spencer and have just been made redundant because of their much publicised loss of 1000 jobs (we worked it out and with the amount of people they employ I had a 1 in 70 chance of loosing my job - talk about rough luck.)

Anyway - for the last three weeks people have been continually asking about it - when do you close? Are you all loosing your jobs? When do the discounts start? And in answering ('don't know', 'probably', and 'piss off' respectively) my grin has been getting ever more forced.

They've kept us hanging on while we waited for find out when we were closing - and at length, I found out today.

12th March.

My BLOODY BIRTHDAY.

Do you ever go out to dinner (at a sit-down restaurant) by yourself?


View other answers

No. Cafes and stuff, then yes. But I can't think of a single occasion where I've had a full meal alone - no even when waiting for someone. Guess I'm not as much of a loner as I thought - but then again, I don't eat out often anyway.
