Mickey Smith..

Once upon a time there was a London boy called Mickey Smith and he had a girlfriend named Rose Tyler......



And we ALL know how that turned out, she went off with The Doctor and he got left behind with her mother and then the Cyberman and The Daleks came and off he went because that's what a good ex does, he lives HIS life...


But wait, there's more...

Turns out that Mickey's alter ego wasn't really named Rickey and he didn't live on "Pete's World", his name is really Noel Clarke and he turms out to be a director and an actor

And he seems to have called it quits on being Mickey Smith ever again :


MICKEY SMITH BACK FOR THE VERY LAST TIME...

Jul 04, 2008

If you are a Doctor Who fan and DO NOT like spoilers do not read any further....
For those of you who don't know.

On DOCTOR WHO this Saturday MICKEY SMITH aka NOEL CLARKE (yours truly) is back. And probably (and as far as I'm concerned) the very last time. So any Doctor who fans make sure you switch on an catch your boy in the tardis for the last time.


read the rest here:



The reason I am bring this up is because I wanted to see Mickey Smith again, after the way Doctor Who's series 4 ended I was hoping that maybe Mickey and NOT Martha would become part of the Torchwood Team but apparently if wishes were horses beggars could ride..


I will keep my eye open for more movies, shows and other projects from Noel Clarke but honestly,



Say it ain't so, Mickey...

Generations???

According to a survey released earlier this year by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co., 37% of so-called Generation Y drivers -- those 23 years old or younger -- admitted to texting or engaging in instant messaging while driving, compared with 17% of Gen X drivers (those 24 to 46) and 2% of baby boomers (age 47 to 67).


Now if the Boomer years were 1946-1964

and Gen X years are 1965-1982 (1979 is also mentioned as the cut-off date)

and Gen Y years are 1980-1994

and the above blurb was published in May 2007

then a baby boomer would stop being named a boomer in 1960 not 1964....


Which would leave those born between 1961 and 1964 as little orphanics without a name to hang their neuroses upon..


Oh, wait they have given those poor lost orphincs a name: Generation Jones!!

And whoever is naming these lost lambs has highjacked all of them born between 1954 and 1964 and they have given them their own set of connotations as well:

1) a large, anonymous generation

2) the slang term “jonesin,” which refers here to the unrequited craving felt by this generation of unfulfilled expectations

They have even written about this new set of generational titling:


My favorite so far is:

I've finally found my generation

I guess it's cool that the whole world is being divided into sets and subsets that can "belong" together and can bitch about all the other sets and subsets and how "those" people are ruining "our" air earth, benefits, the country ---------(fill in the blank) but wouldn't it be easier just to lump us all together as "human" and try to work together??

Probably not...

We can't even manage to use a cell phone with common sense.....
