Finally some genuinely good news

Yes, that's exactly what I said, above. But we're not talking about that. We're talking about how days are counted in the month.

Really, and what we are you talking about? I was citing a quote from Nostradamus, from a translator who gave the correct translation. Where in the hell did this we come about going off topic into the bananosphere?

I'm not disputing the translation. I was simply trying to tell you how the Roman calendar works.

Why? I did not even ask. I really do not care about what time it is, as long as what is said is either true or false. and even if you did explain it to me, since I have no use for it, I would immediately forget it.

You mentioned that it was two days after your birthday, so apparently you do care, at least enough to mention it.

It's ok not knowing something, by the way. You don't have to get all defensive.

The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most parts of the world. It went into effect in October 1582

The Gregorian, or Gothic calendar did not come about until almost 2 decades after Nostradamus died.

Probably because she knows what's she's talking about and that infuriates you, an obvious ignoramus. ''Hair colour and job''. Oh, and the 'translation' is 'definitely correct according to scholars' Nostradamus 'says' whatever gullible idiots want to think it says. Imagine if Nastradamus had been recording the hair colour and job of every single person into the future. The book would be billions, if not trillions of pages long

Hi, welcome back! I only found that the forum was up again by chance.

I mentioned that the release of the lost Dr Who episodes were 2 days after my birthday, which we both agreed was a good event.

In breaking news, two missing episodes of Dr Who have been found, bringing the total still missing down to a mere 95. They're from William Hartnell's The Daleks' Master Plan.

Not that this affects me, at all, as the audio for every single episode has survived, often from fan recordings made at the time, by sitting in front of the telly with a reel to reel tape recorder. And, to be honest, from what I've heard of the 1960s stuff, it's pretty slow moving and clunky, but for someone who loves history, in all its multitudinous forms, this is obviously very welcome.

What happened to the series? I used to watch it on PBS here in the US and at one point they showed early episodes of the first Doctor Who on the TV. This was back in the early 80s after Tom Baker left. Did they lose the episodes since then? Or when did the episodes go missing?

Most of them apparently went missing in the 1970s, when the original video tapes were re-used. This was a random process, though, and a lot survived anyway, which is presumably what you saw. Though it's just possible, I suppose, that the station broadcasting them held copies that had been sent out by the BBC when it sold them abroad. This is how a lot of them have since been returned.
