Nope, she was female and then it turned into the time warp as well :D

Next month, the University of Greenwich is opening a new student hub called Dreadnought. I wonder if anyone without an ID card has to sacrifice a limb to get in...

And would there be room for them? Judging by the highly impressive eyeshield footage, the place is filled with Pixel's (larger, wingless) relatives.

I like the bit around 2:30 where the dwarf tunnels give way to facilities where a dungeoneer would be unlikely to encounter Sylvester Hands. I assume one of the showers is left slightly on in case Barry returns.

Harry Potter: Gringotts Wizarding Bank Advert

Ten seconds in, two immortal words uttered. I needn't say any more.

The band Doves recently released the music video to their brand new song Prisoners, in which the very last scene is an open landscape which eventually leads to going through a black doorway/portal.
(If anyone's curious, you can watch the video here.)

Now, I wonder where I've seen that before...

Gary Barlow recently released a new song called Elita.

If you want to have a listen to the song you can do so here.

Sadly at no point anywhere could I find an indication towards a rude cavern elf...

She would approve of this set of lyrics surely :D

"She's a girl from a town
Where nobody knows your name, where nobody's found" & "One dance and we'll be singing hallelujah" unless you're a certain goblin master! ;)

Today I visited a shop in East London called "Knightmarez".

It is a furniture shop and one guy who worked there seemed quite amused as he saw me take my photo of the shop's exterior. I went inside the shop and told him about the TV show of the almost similar sounding name, and he said that he remembers it, where the kid wore a helmet and walked around blindfolded through the dungeon. Though he didn't actually say if the shop's name was genuinely inspired by the programme we all know and love...

Photo I took of the shop is below and if you're so inclined, you can also have a look at their website.

David: Where am I?

David H:   David, you’re in a rocky cavern. You’re standing on the edge of a chasm (he pronounces this as “cha-sem”!) right, so don’t move. A chasm, sorry. Now, at the top of the cavern there is a serpent’s head and across the chasm is a woman.
Today I overheard someone talking about how, having only ever seen the word 'chasm' written down, she'd been mispronouncing it without a silent h until someone else had corrected her. An unintended tribute to David the advisor from the first team of Series 1.
