Below the cut is a map of the EU district in Brussels, showing (in pencil scrawl) the main EU institution buildings and (in red biro) the member states' diplomatic representations (not all of these in precisely the right place - some are a block or two out, and the Greeks have just moved to be beside the Germans).

So my choice is: Rondpoint Schumann (where "Sch" is written in red over "Tunnel Belliard") or further west (more or less under the "y" in "Rue Montoyer"). Tricky. Having slept on it, though, I'm closer to a decision.

More Who

doctor who
The lovely Belgian Waffle complains that there is too much Doctor Who here, and looking over the past few weeks' entries, she has a point. (And I haven't even revealed the Speshul Prodjekt I'm currently working on.) So, while I don't intend to cut down especially on the dockeroo posts, I will start employing the cut tag a bit more judiciously. And don't worry, there's a big long post mainly about me and hardly at all about Doctor Who coming up, with lots of answers to interview questions.

No need for a cut-tag for the first of the two stories I'm looking at here though. "The Gunfighters" is just a silly story of time-travellers landing in Tombstone just before the gunfight at the OK Corral. Hartnell has some great lines; trying to pass off the Tardis crew as entertainers, he introduces himself as "your humble servant, Doctor, er, Caligari." "Doctor Who?" asks the bewildered local. "Yes, quite right!" comes the response. I still think Jacki Lane is good as Dodo as well, and of course so is Peter Purves as Stephen.

It really did take me until last night to get around to watching, for the first time, the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie. )

Relieved to have just missed the cut as an Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm. Not quite sure how I managed it though. Alas, the nice red lines don't seem to come through on LJ.
