What the
Dickens? Not to be confused with Dickensworld or Dickensworld. But it's an idea that's been around for a while, and has doubled in cost.
The last two links require some scrolling. But it is there.

Hey, better that than a theme park based on Jonathan Swift's work... (then again, maybe that's not a bad idea)

I used to live near Chatham. Nice countryside, other than that, dreary. And so is Dickens. I'm sure they'll go well together. Considering most of Dickens' work is depressing and features the abuse of starving children and the poor, this is going to make for one bummer of a theme park. Come and see Tiny Tim get beaten soundly round the head and neck with a stick! Come and see Mrs Gargery murdered! Tremendous fun for the whole family. How about a Rabelais theme park? A 20 foot giant pissing out a castle fire is a hell of a crowd pleaser.

project will recreate the Victorian era when young children worked in sweatshops Ah. The glory days. Cool. I saw the post title on the sidebar, and I was all "huh?"

I wonder if you'll be able to get Dickens Cider? sorry

Please, sir, I want some more...*snicker*...Dickens Cider.

Will it have Victorian Welsh zombies? Will it, oh will it?!? /spoiling this week's Doctor Who

I really need to see what the fuss is with that damn show. Never seen a single episode. Presumably one must have cable to view it in the US? /derail

The old Dr. Who episodes were usually played on public televeision in the states. I've whiled away many a Sunday afternoon watching robots menace people with plungers. Damn, that's what we need. A Doctor Who Land!

I don't think that the new Doctor has been picked up in the States yet. If you live near the Canadian border, you might be able to pick it up on the CBC on Tuesdays; otherwise see if one of us Canadian monkeys is taping it. For my part, I didn't think about recording it until halfway through the premiere episode, (which I understand is on the intarweb somewhere.)
