Sitting Tennant

Monday’s Sitting Tennant (week 11, 2010)

Erin C's Sitting Tennant

Time got away from me on Friday so I didn’t manage to post any tranquillising pics of Dr David Tennant PhD for you all, I’m afraid. But never fear, I didn’t forget about you all and your need to see the good David sitting down at least once a week. Here’s this week’s points-winning picture, which comes from Erin C – as a low budget practice-run for the Great Blonde Elevator, it leaves a little to be desired, it has to be said, but each to his own.

  1. Rullsenberg: 70
  2. Toby, Sister Chastity: 50
  3. Sabine, Erin C: 45
  4. Karen: 35
  5. Rachel: 25

In caption land, the returning Electric Dragon managed to get the 10 points, with a lovely Fast Show quote. Not sure if a man winning the International Women’s Day caption competition is quite the done thing, but well done all the same, sir.

  1. Jane Henry, Rullsenberg, Toby: 45
  2. Electric Dragon, Marie: 30
  3. ecg: 25
  4. Sabine, SK: 20
  5. Rachel: 15
  6. kellyann06, Sister Chastity: 10

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Monday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Monday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Today’s Joanna Page: BT Talk Traits

BT Talk Traits

Our Joanna does like to talk, as her appearance on Jonathan Ross’s show proved beyond contention. Now she’s launching a campaign to encourage people to talk more.

Knowing how important it is to make time for a chat, Joanna is encouraging us all to slow down , have a cup of tea, snuggle up on the sofa, and make time for our special calls.

Brits still spend a breathtaking amount of time talking to each other. However, the quality of those conversations is in jeopardy.

Increasingly we’re squeezing in our calls when we’re doing other things, rather than making time for a proper chat with people we care about, and this is damaging relationships and killing quality conversation. Calls made hurriedly in transit (or chit for short) are getting in the way of our chat. These are just some of the findings of a new social study carried out by BT as it paints the UK’s first ‘Talktrait of a Nation’.

As part of the study, people can go to www.talktraits.co.uk and take a quiz to find out whether they are a Happy Chatter, a Duty Dialler, an Evader or even an Unrung Hero.

Here she is in what’s obviously her home and not a set, looking exactly the way she does whenever she’s on the phone.
