General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Since James Bond is just Rassilon, they can choose whatever face they want for their next regeneration.

Rassilon? I thought he was something else.

You see, Doctor and Master are both titles you get with degrees, but there are two more: Associate and Bachelor.

I don't know who the Associate would be, but if anyone would carry the name, "The Bachelor", it would be James Bond.

Absolutely, "Rassilon" is his "real" name, he's simply not as cagey about it as ~~Theta~~ the Doctor and ~~Koschei~~ the Master.

Oh, so he's not the same Rassilon that was Lord President; he just has the same name?

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I don't follow. Why wouldn't he be the same? He just has a name (which he usually prefers to go by) and also an academic title. In addition to his super secret Earth identity, of course.

They just don't seem like the same person to me.

Regeneration - it's a lottery
