Five Things meme

From oursin: Ask me for "top five" lists of pretty much anything, and I will list you my top five of that thing or things. (Assuming that I have a top five, or even any five, of the thing in question.)

I love cheese, hard to pick five, always willing to try any kind of cheese. Particular favourites:

Stilton
Emmental
Very mature cheddar on toast with Worcestershire sauce

What a lovely, eclectic list! And you've been to Middle Earth! The juxtaposition of Cornwall and Hong Kong is particularly nice.

I've been to Cornwall and Paris, but on your other destinations my life's itinerary is still silent.

(Butting in here: On that last one, the cheese is melty, right? OMG that sounds good right now.)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes, melty nice...!

It was so difficult to choose, I've been very lucky in where I've been able to travel (tho' I would love to do more). Relatives with itchy feet help: that trip to Madrid was to see my sister, and my brother emigrated to NZ (I've been out to NZ twice, on that holiday I toured the North Island, second time round the South Island).

Kinda was good, but I prefer the follow up (Snakedance). And Caves of Androzani, yes, definitely, if only for the last two minutes. Best regeneration ever.

I think Enlightenment and Genesis of the Daleks would be in my own Top 5. Probably Earthshock too (and not just for killing off Adric!).

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched the whole of 'Snakedance' in ages (I caught some bits a couple of weeks ago and it did look very good). 'Androzani' has not just the best regeneration, but two of the best cliffhangers in the show (the Doctor and Peri being executed, the Doctor pointing the spaceship at the planet: "I'm not going to let you stop me now!").

Honorable mentions for 'Pyramids of Mars', 'The Curse of Fenric', 'Ghost Light' and 'Bad Wolf'.

I agree with you about Snakedance, but you can't have Snakedance without Kinda...

Employed by me or employed by other people?

[iainjcoleman.livejournal.com]

I was thinking of the latter, but why not do both?
