Cycling, Housemates and Torchwood
The lovely and glorious Tommy Voeckler did indeed win yesterday's stage. His maiden victory and the boy's all grown up. Pic and vid spam coming on Friday.
Bit of stuff also from yesterday's stage, but reported today:
>>12:56 - Gesink Abandons With Broken Arm
It was an incident that he couldn’t avoid but at the 120km mark of the fifth stage, Robert Gesink touched a wheel and tumbled into the ditch at the left side of the road. He landed heavily, cutting his left elbow and knee but quickly stood back up and returned to the race as fast as possible. The Dutch rider rode 77km with a fractured radius and although he came close to rejoining the peloton that was speeding ahead and splitting up because of the rapid pace of the Saxo Bank and a few other teams. Eventually Gesink limped home to last place with the support of faithful team-mate Grischa Niermann, finishing 9’35” behind Thomas Voeckler.
The Dutchman has abandoned the Tour after five stages.<<
Bolding mine. Any wonder I love all of these guys.

Housemate, or rather housemate's girlfriend had a screaming row with him yesterday. Well it makes a change from it being them having sex that's keeping me awake.

Torchwood
Not as good as the previous two, but still solid.
Gwen is still made entirely of win, while the revelation of it being Harkness who was one of the people handing the children over comes as no surprise.
Peter Capaldi continues to be excessively awesome.
The 465 continue to be scarier than is entirely necessary. Have resorted to hiding behind cushions.
Housemate is terrified that they'll turn out to be spider shaped. Have told him that he's watching the rest on his own if they do. He objects, he's even more scared of spiders than I am.
I, on the other hand, think they resemble bird chicks, in particular, cookoo chicks. Have my suspicions that that is why they want 1/10th of the child population, so they can replace them. Also believe that Dekker could be one of the 1965 children that got replaced.
