Once upon a time, there was nothingness. After many infinities, a crack appeared and gradually got larger. Then, with a clash of thunder this blog was hatched!
Let’s cast our tardis back in time
To a time where I can continue this rhyme

Here’s something for Dr Who fans from Comic Relief back in ’99. Would you believe Rowan Atkinson (Mr Bean) as the Doctor timelord? Then I suppose you’d believe Richard E.
