I'm just getting the Doctor Who: Series 3 boxset for Christmas, plus money and vouchers (I assume) from friends and family.

Yup. To me, babies = spawn, evil things. Yes, I know I was one once, but I feel regretfully sorry for what trauma I put my parents through.

I recently discovered theres a phenomenon called negative resistance which the Gunn diode operates with.

Actually it is the tunnel diode that has "negative resistance", increased voltage yields decreased current....
A Gunn diode is a tunnel diode that is designed to operate at microwave frequencies. Most tunnel diodes operate in the
UHF frequency range.

He didn't bash him to death, he stomped him.

The sound of a baby crying? No insult to you, it's just that I hate the sound of a baby crying. As in near homicidal mania hate.


My nephew Birdie, whimpering when fussy and tired, causes Xan to hyperventilate, shriek, moan, and rock to and fro. I'm not going to discuss how Xan was himself at the age of one... :twisted:

Makes me think of the Inspector Morse episode in which Morse complains about how he can't stand the sound of an infant's crying. The long-suffering Sergeant Lewis responds, a touch waspishly, that this is precisely the point. You can't stand it, so you attend to the child's needs, thus stopping it from crying.

I have that Inspector Morse episode on DVD, it was "Greeks Bearing Gifts".

Sorry, I thought it would help you remember that that was not right, not normal. I didn't mean to make you cry. :(
