I've been alarmed since The Crimson Field arrived.

The Crimson Field. My life has been slightly taken over by yet another BBC show...

[curiosamathematica]

If I reacted to other people's careers the way they react to me becoming a mathematician

You’re a doctor? I don’t really know anything about medicine, but can you explain exactly how the endocrine system works in two minutes or less?

You’re a writer? I had a terrible writing teacher in high school. I bet I wouldn’t like you.

You’re a carpenter? You must be super good at carpentering.

You’re a singer? I stopped singing in 11th grade. The last song I sang was… hmmmmm… let’s see… Mozart’s Requiem. I wasn’t very good at that song.

You’re an engineer? I used to play with building blocks when I was a kid. Show me exactly what you’re designing and, if there’s anything I don’t understand, it’s probably your fault.

You’re a banker? So that means you print money, right? What kind of money do you print?

You’re a lawyer? Argue against the Electoral College in front of me right now for my perverse amusement. I’ll just be here smiling smugly and assuming that you don’t realize I’m making fun of you in my head.

You’re a project manager? God, I fucking hate project management.

Our Girl

Guys go watch this new BBC1 drama about a female medic going to serve in the war in Afghanistan, so think sort of modern day The Crimson Field but not exactly... It's really interesting and gives a slightly different perspective on the war which is great. Sidenote: features an incredibly good looking captain.

[whatifthisstormends]

Meet me. The place you said before. In an hour. I’ll be there. I’ll understand if you’re not, but I’ll be there.

[haenels]

I have to know.

[buildarocketboys]

Important idea to think about: Miles and Tom knowing each other when they’re young/teenagers and “practising” kissing with each other. Obviously it’s Miles’ bright idea.

[hellyeahkitmas]

This gave me a good laugh thanks X-D aww they're all so cute

[hellyeahkitmas]

Is there an actual name for Miles and Thomas' brotp?

[hellyeahkitmas]

Oh Captain Gillan always has such respect for senior officers

[hellyeahkitmas]

No room for defiance in the army... Miles and Thomas are just so damn sweet

[hellyeahkitmas]

Oh they're both dashing... 

[hellyeahkitmas]

No but she has Sylvie! This is so heartbreaking

[hellyeahkitmas]

Whenever I think Quayle might be okay-ish I have to remember this poor man. I wish we found out if he recovered after returning to the hospital. Oh yeah, we never will now.

[hellyeahkitmas]

Back where it all started...

[hellyeahkitmas]

This is what we may become reduced to now that there won't be a second series :'( listening to random clips of their voices...

[hellyeahkitmas]

He does have a lovely voice.
