NaNoWriMo whee, and Pros pics for posting today III

[byslantedlight]

Yes! Have passed my NaNoWriMo count for the day - 5007/5000 words written - wheee! *g* I find I'm a little bit addicted to the wordcount thingie at the top of my NaNoWriMo account page too, I'll type a few words and then go and update it, just to see it creeping nearer and nearer... *vbg*

It's a funny old lark - I'm aware of writing a wee bit more about things I don't usually include - I don't think I've skimmed over much at all: they've come home, cooked, got changed, sat down for dinner... the alarm's gone off in the morning, they've got up, had breakfast... But I can't decide whether that's because it's that kind of fic, at least to start with (I think it might be) or because I'm conscious of needing a higher number of words than I've written for Pros before! *g* We'll see... someone will get to tell me if it's dull as ditchwater eventually... *vbg*

So to celebrate - another picture!


I love these original opening credits shots - I love it when the dvd ep with the old credits comes up! - and I adore Doyle in his hoodie and jeans! So very ahead of his time - would he have had an asbo, growing up a right tearaway as he say in Mixed Doubles he did? But then he never got caught - got away with it every time, so...

And now I've learned something new, having had to google "asbo" to find out what you were on about. I would imagine something like that would have kept him out of the Met.
Oh - just read a bit more, and the asbo was first introduced in 1998.
See, I knew the internet served a purpose *g*

Hee! Yeay googling, the world is our lobster! *g*

I wonder if an asbo would keep you out, if you reformed afterwards and went on to do well at school etc, and satisfy the requirements... Seems like it'd be shooting the whole point of the thing in the foot (*mixes metaphors wildly*) - an asbo to get you to behave well, but no good consequences...

Bet if he'd been caught in the 1950/60s-ish it would have kept him out though... *g* Asbos are pretty new - and they got to be badges of honour among budding young crims, not sure where they're up to now, actually... I do remember a woman in her sixties being given an asbo that said she couldn't wear her hoodie in the shopping mall, or some bizarre media write-up like that...

Yeah, because those 60 year old women are so threatening. Add a hoodie and you're asking for trouble! *g*

Hee - although actually you say that, and when we think sixty year old we think someone who's grown up decently and gently, but actually there are some real hellions around, apparently - grannies to the crims "on the estates" I guess...

Oh wow, just found this sitehere's something else!
