Bat milk is all my fault.

As I recall, it was the HL meet where everything got a bit tricky in Planet Dave's back garden. Anyhoo, earlier in the evening, we were all chatting at the pub (The Angel) and, to cut a long story short, someone (I think perhaps Steve Pista? ) said "well, what could be more goth than black coffee?"

My reply was, "I dunno, bat milk?"

I'm sorry.

I believe it was around the same time the Malteser Guiness dunking began. It gets blurry from there on.

It does, doesn't it?

Don't be sorry! I just couldn't find the term anywhere. Thanks for explaining!!! Really funny.

Err... Why the commotion? Aren't those just standard Dr Who creatures?

We could debate the cleverness (or not) of the backstory but, regardless, they don't look like droplets of steel. Or like anything else for that matter. They're just blobs. And that's a big problem for mascots.

(And my Doctor Who nerdiness compels me to point out that most of the monsters Tom Baker fought were much better designed than these.)

They rather look like anthropomorphic surveillance cameras to me.

Aye, they do a bit. Which you think is very appropriate for somewhere with such an overbearing state as the poor old UK... correct me if I'm wrong?

I wasn't taken with them when I first saw them - it's very hard to make a cyclops cuddly and they would probably have scared the bejesus out of me when I was a kid - but then I heard the backstory and was completely sold (it reminded me of SuperTed ). Having said that, I think anthropomorphic pigeons would have been even better!
