while in Wales looking for the wall where the Cyberman who was wearing jeans grabbed The Brigadier I received the soundtrack of The Five Doctors in the post today, and was reminded of this post when the CD reached track 12. Did you ever find the wall? If not, I regret that I am unable to help you. However, I do own a replica of the blade of grass on which Susan twisted her ankle.

Your post was a bit forward and nasty.
However, I feel as the Green splined* honorable# one you deserve as many answers as possible.
All 4 of my friends agree with this (and with you, obviously)
After we dealt with our "Turtle Heads" which was a messy affair in the middle of a Welsh hillside, we got disorientated and could not find the correct wall.
We did, however find the polystyrene boulder that Richard Hurdnall sat down on. It was covered in pineapple juice as I recall so we left it where it was.
I am Very VERY jealous of your replica bit of grass. I shouted this fact through the locked door of the "Dice Lounge" and I think I heard my friends getting very excited over the fact.
In a coincidence bigger than the time I opened my wardrobe and found a strange man inside and realised that he looked Slightly like the second "Angelo" from "Mike & Angelo" - the large rock which killed Piggy in "Lord of the Flies" was cleaned and reused as the famous "Stone of Scone"
Something to consider very carefully
Tttttt Than

I do worry that if monkeystoe continues posting here, he will not have any friends left.
I asked all 12 of my friends about this and 76% agreed. 87% thought that using a monkeystoe to wish all the friends back would result in disastrous consequences, but the other 28% said it would be A good idea, but I don't trust her because she is A crocodile who doesn't know who Treguard is A full 110% of the time.

All 27 of my friends were badgering me for another good idea, preferably involving Treguard again. ONLY 50% of them thought that the Spatz diner should be a major location, but when I mentioned that it would be set on The Planet Of Wow, in the capital Puzzleopilis then a full 55% of them were on board. 55% is an awkward number to please, particularly when 27 friends are involve but I convinced them it was a "resounding" result a la David Cameron's comments after the 2014 Scottish referendum Anyway. The Gm must take on the persona of Debbie McGee AT ALL TIMES THE END. Each player starts withe following items 4 gold pieces A brown thing A yellow thing A new nappy (a poor roll on a d20 would result in a very small stain) "fashion" leather armor, which is spelt that way because it is cut in an American style (I. E - you drive on the right hand side and don't use roundabouts) A bag of discontinued Brannigan crisps And a pouch of unlimited percentages. Each day, (and it works better after 73 playthrough) the players must negotiate the bog of eternal stench and rescue the puppy which again fell into the strawberry patch. This sounds easy but obviously when Treguard is the Keeper of Traken then anything could happen - even a new body, at last. The grandfather clock will strike loudly each time a player rolls a genuine 7 on two dice. When the clock on the wall strikes ten, 67% of players who are still alive (which is unlikely to be anyone) will immediately become "too small and dry" There may be a bit of Game Pie stuck up there, but I'm sure a broom could dislodge it under favourable circumstances (3 successful rolls on a d4 (taken from "The Vampire Game" - the vampire will be used to stamp a smeary red bat on players who fudge the roll) My only problem that I can forsee is when Blake is accused of betraying everyone. , so I suppose my question is, should Avon shoot his way out, or surrender to the Federation troops? Thanks you. Thanks Thought it was worth revisiting the madness of the original post of this thread, which zips around like a kid in a king's maze. What even is the question being asked here? I know, like Spock I deeply prefer to see logic where there is absolutely none.

The question seems obvious enough. The answer has eluded fans for almost 40 years. Is that a question? Anyone would think someone who has spent so much time and effort fighting the Federation would definitely die instantly rather than face their probable painful death sentence/multiple life sentences in slave labour camps. Missing? But then, I was never a Blake's Seven fan. Why? I don't want to sound like the infamous M. Grade who hated Who and ordered it's cancellation, but Blake's Seven always seemed to me to be grey and cheap compared to great SF such as Star Wars, Star Trek, Dune etc. Pissing over Monkeytoe's post (and I think we can agree it's worth pissing over), I would ask, would you rather watch Blake's Seven or read The Secret Seven? For me, the latter.

Your post was a bit forward and nasty.
I asked all 4 of my friends which was better "Blake's seven" or "The secret seven" :
After the second longest dice rolling session in History (The first being back on the 13th February 1987 which I remember well as it was the 107th anniversary of the death of my great great grandfather's pet iguana) they couldn't reach a consensus.
They retired to the "Dice Lounge" and after a very, very long and noisy session, they eventually re appeared.
They agreed that probably the most terrifying moment in television history was the moment when "Birdie" the celluloid doll got burnt to death in "Tottie"
Which I think solves all our problems very well.

He was saying those weird noises out of his mouth at me. All the while Derek Griffiths sang the song to 'Dark Towers' in the background. 8 out of 10 cats (that's 79%) when asked by their owners, expressed horror at this cauchemar.

I take this as an endorsement my favourite writer E. Blyton is capable of a tie or better against Blake's Seven, which I feel very gratified and proud about. Your point about Birdie and Tottie expertly disregards the original reference point(s) and is a dog's dinner which leaves no one any the wiser. Do you find that forward and nasty?

I asked all 3 of my friends (Rod, Jane and Freddy) if they wanted to join me for a cup of coffee, but sadly they were too busy browsing the aisles of William Low.
I sat quietly in "The Dice Lounge" , rolling all my dice over and over whilst contemplating my existence.
You wouldn't believe some of the rolls I got! - I'm not even going to tell you as even though it's true you won't believe me.

I wouldn't believe you if you told me you got yahtzee (5 of a kind, first throw) or something. I bet your definition of unbelievable is rolling 6 or 8 on 2 dice.

Your post was a bit forward and nasty
I asked Rod and Jane what they considered a great roll on two dice. They of course retired to "MY DICE LOUNGE" and returned in their usual tired out, dishevelled and flustered fashion two or three hours later.
They agreed that a roll of between 6 and 8 on two dice is fantastic, though a little unlikely in the long term.
I ask all forum members to roll two dice 6 times and post the total. Here is mine
4, 2, 2, 3, 6!!!!!!??!, & 1.
In a coincidence greater than the time I attended a Doctor Who convention and realised I was the nicest smelling person there, the 6th "Police Academy" film is probably better than the sixth "Halloween" film.
Thanks for your
Thanka

Thanks for your Thanka I would drop more ! and ? at how you could roll a 1 when rolling two dice and adding the total numbers rolled together than how you could roll a 6. This reminds me a little of the scene in the Futurama pilot where Farnsworth shows off a very ordinary drawer of wires to impress Fry, and then waves Fry back to the wires when Fry is amazed at the sight of his spaceship.

Nah, the two question marks are well placed, as the highest factorial you can roll witb two dice is 3!. 6!!!!! is certainly too high to roll with any readily available number of dice

Nah, the two question marks are well placed, as the highest factorial you can roll witb two dice is 3!. 6!!!!! is certainly too high to roll with any readily available number of dice It arguably depends whether he's counting in factorial\permutations or just adding the total numbers, the latter of which would be at least as valid an interpretation, and definitely not ruled out by the rather vague wording e.g. "post the total". Besides, under my interpretation, I reference Futurama, so 😛.

Maybe I shouldn't have used that Backgammon die as half of the pair.

I mean, there's untested and then there's "if you roll a 1 on two dice". These were written by the Grailquest guy, right? That would explain rather a lot. Those books were garbage fires in terms of gameplay.
