As usual, a little something for the weekend – a Sitting Tennant, the first of 2009. As you can see, DT is busily seeing who won 2008's competition.
The scores are reset, everything's back to zero. Captions and pictures, please. On your marks, get set, go!
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it's judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.

"Um. Um. Definitely not on a dating site trawling for blondes. I'm - er - reading reviews of Ed Bennett in Hamlet. Have a glass of wine."

If I stare very very fixedly at my glass of wine I might just possibly be able to ignore the fact that I have made the mistake of going back to the flat of someone who is currently looking as pyschotic as Kathy Bates in Misery. I knew I should have stuck to a blonde.

David wondered why every woman felt the need to show him the same scene from 'Secret Diary of a Call Girl' and tell him it was The Doctor and Rose as foreplay now.

David took a stiff drink before visiting the Outpost Gallifrey forums.

How to tell things are not going well at your Companion job interview:
The Doctor: Hrmmmmm... I've downloaded the entire porn collection from the Library Planet and I've found 27,401 entries under your name. No wonder you listed the Moon of Poosh on your application! That's not your home address; it's a skill description!

Check this out! Toby O'B won the 2008 Sitting Tennant Competition. Coincidentally, he's also listed as in the running for Most Likely To Have No Life in 2009!

...and it's hosted by some sort of motivational speaker, he keeps saying "Fuck, yeah!" and changing the rules, and it's all pictures of you, see? And you're sitting, just like now, right? Because it's a play on "sitting tenant", y'see? Well, you're not actually sitting all the time, sometimes you're leaning, or lying down, but, as I said, that motivational speaker keeps changing the rules, and people write captions, y'see? About what you could be doing, even if that's not what you're doing because that's what makes it funny, right?....What's wrong? Don't you like it?

Is it worrying when it's not just 12 year olds but David Tennant who doesn't understand Sitting Tennant?
January 9, 2009 | Reply
Oh, I think he understands it all too well. Just look at his face.

Any more sarcasm from you and there'll be a new rule: anyone called Persephone has to eat half a pomegranate before she can leave a caption. So there.

I'm wounded that a) you took my comment as sarcasm (#1 a cutting, often ironic remark intended to wound; #2 a form of wit that is marked by the use of sarcastic language and is intended to make its victim the butt of contempt or ridicule -- not guilty, m'lud!); b) that you would suggest such an outrageous punishment to prolong my term in Hades. I'm hurt, Mr Rob, just hurt....

I didn't even realize there was a common phrase of "sitting tenant". Hrmmmm.... googling it brings up a lot of uk web addresses, online definitions keep mentioning flats, so I guess it's a British thing.
Whew! Well at least I have an excuse then for not understanding it; for not even knowing it!

Scary eyes. That's NOT a good sign.

It's all part of my vast, sprawling grand design. So intricate in its many-layered subtleties, few people spot all the marvellous nuances of my sophisticated schemes.
Actually, I've lost track of half of them, so worry ye not.

Ah, Persephone, come back!
Anyway, wow - I turned my back and here was the first new Tennant of the year. (Note to self: must start accumulating new pics -- am resigned that I can't possibly be more witty than those who were leading the captions board for 2008)

Woman: ...oh you SO have to watch this programme on the iPlayer called 'Swarm'. The voice-over artist can make listening to the description of a heard of migrating wilderbeest quite arousing...
DT [thinking]: Will two glasses of wine help my sore throat? Wish my eyes didn't look quite so scary...
