*[[Armageddon Convention]] - dunno why I bothered as I haven't even read the book, I just thought it was a one-line thing in ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen]]'' - I don't know, is there any casual reference from the 70s that ''hasn't'' had a 200-page novel written about it by Andy Lane, Gary Russell, or (God help us) Craig Hinton? So much for subtlety and a sense of mystery in the mythos.

| Also known as: | the Annoying Frivolous Grammar Pedant |
| Race: | lab results still pending |
| Home: | Sun's Root Sub-Conurb (East) |
| Home Era: | Year 19 Heisei Era |
Not quite sure what to put here yet, but someone suggested I should write it anyway.
I am the sworn enemy of bad grammar (particularly rogue apostrophes) and will ruthlessly destroy any that crosses my path. (Hey, it's a point of professional pride for me.)
I look forward to answering your complaints.
List of Stuff I've Originated or Heavily Rewritten
- Aliases of the Master - If, after all this memory-intensive work, I still go senile I shall be highly annoyed. Well, as annoyed as a senile person can be. By the way, how long do you reckon it'll be before someone sticks a big spoiler in here? :)
- Andrew Hunt - our families lived in the same house you know, not at the same time of course
- Argolis - just written so I could re-use the Xxbrmm gag
- Armageddon Convention - dunno why I bothered as I haven't even read the book, I just thought it was a one-line thing in Revenge of the Cybermen - I don't know, is there any casual reference from the 70s that hasn't had a 200-page novel written about it by Andy Lane, Gary Russell, or (God help us) Craig Hinton? So much for subtlety and a sense of mystery in the mythos. I knew we were on the slippery slope when they started 'revealing' the names of characters like the Monk and the Master - fine, why not tell us the Doctor's name while you're at it? Peasants. I should drink less coffee.
- Blake's 7 - now here's a show crying out for its own small but perfectly formed wiki!
- Bowship
- Celestial Toymaker - quite surprised no-one else got there first
- Daleks of Human Origin - No, I couldn't think of a snappier title, and believe me I tried.
- Dalek Prime
- Dalek weaponry - giving full reign to my inner geek
- Death's Head - the TARDIS version anyway
- E-Space
- Everybody dies!
- Goodge - just written for the boiled egg gag
- Gunstick - originally part of Dalek weaponry, but, you know...
- Humanised Dalek - you start just by adding a bit on the power sources of Dalek casings, and the next thing you know...
- Inconsistencies and Retcons in the Doctor Who Universe - brace yourself for a prolonged spat over the definition of 'retcon'...
- Jubilee Pizza - enjoyed writing this inordinately. They've probably taken all the jokes out by now...
- Miniscope
- N-Space - am I allowed to say that I think that some of the amendments other people have made to this and E-Space aren't necessarily improvements? Hey ho - live by the wiki, die by the wiki...
- Psychic - a low-quality job but its absence was annoying me.
- Randomiser - if you know what happened to Compassion's randomiser then please amend
- Real world interface - tongue drifting ever-so-slightly into my cheek in some parts of this article
- Runcible
- Riverfruit - possibly the most important fruit in Dr Who's 18th season
- Robert Holmes - the Main Man
- Sandminer robot - if you know what SASV-1's name actually meant then please amend this accordingly
- Sato Katsura - obscure and Japanese, so right up my dori
- Sevateem
- Spiridon - largely written for the invisibility gags
- Staser
- TARDIS scanner
- Time Lord-Vampire War
- Tissue Compression Eliminator - oh dear, these last two make me look like a Time Lord gun nut
- WOTAN
