You are advised not to let anyone know you have firearms.
Why would I put a warning on my house?
4 Rifles, 6 shotguns and an extended pistol, hundreds of cartridges, hundreds of rounds as well as black powder as well as crossbows, longbows, black widows and some nasty military and hunting knives, all locked in my gun room, protected by an alarm, a dog and a SOTA locking system.
And still I don't want people knowing where it is!
Well of course if one were to answer the question posed, the worst Timelord would have to be Paul Jericho - "No, Not the Mind Probe" (and he was lucky it was his mind they wanted to probe.
Of course the Timelord who came to warn JP that the Master was on Earth at the beginning of Terror of the Autons was a bit rubbish too.
I am not sure if Andred counts, is a guard captain of the Chancellery Guard a Timelord or just a Gallifreyan?
I suspect that the question probably should be enquiring as to who is your least favourite DOCTOR, in which case I would have to insist it was the Very Junior Mr Popplewick.
Actually the correlation between solar output and sunspot activity is well recognized and has been measured, very accurately, for many years. (About 400).
This does not prove causality, of course, but there is a relationship.
Whether it lower solar output that reduces sunspot count or the other way round, or whether a third factor affects both the other two, nobody can yet say for certain.
However the evidence suggests that it is the changes in the magnetosphere of the sun than induces sunspots, and that these changes are caused by internal factors that also reduce the output by magnetic compression.
Not so.
Our Fry-ups are perfectly healthy.
Egg, (One - Fried, not over easy)
Bacon (Proper back bacon, not that crispy slither of fat you get Stateside)
Sausage (Proper sausage with real meat, not the gristle filled tube of indeterminate animal parts sold in the USA)
Beans (See, we do Vegetables!)
Mushrooms (Deliciously fried in the bacon fat, that not wasteful)
Black Pudding (Americans really do not want to know what is in this)
Fried Slice (A king amongst bread products, and we do not put sugar in our bread)
Grilled Tomato (We do Fruit too!)
There is no side order of pancakes and syrup, and it is designed to sit on a plate, not be presented in a tower formation some six inches high.
Served with tea (Milk and Two as you are asking).
Breakfast of Kings!
When one was demobbed after WW2 one was given one's Demob Suit.
This was designed by Montegue Burton.
When a fellow soldier had been demobbed he was said to have 'Gone for a Burton'.
If the fellow plumped for the 3-Piece version, he is said to have gone for the 'Full Monty'.
It has nothing at all to do with Bernard's Breakfast.
Hmmm...Antarctic Sea Ice Growing?

I do wish there was some kind of consistency between what scientists say and what is actually happening.
(And I use the words Scientists completely incorrectly, perhaps 'Media Whores With a Vested Interested in Continued Funding For Crackpot Ideas About Climate Who Have Joined The Gravy Train And Do Not Wish To Get Off')
What is amazing is the crash shown in the opening of The Six Million Dollar Man was a real crash and the pilot walked away from it. (Well, was carried away from it) and he lived on until he died in 2006.
He hated the programme as it kept reminding him of the worst day of his life.
(Although I suspect that 1st of May 2006 wasn't a good one for him either).
The correct term is "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here"
Not, as you have written, "Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here"
Dear God, did none of you read Dante's Inferno?
It has been around for 700 years, one would have thought you would get it right :)
There is a special place in hell reserved for people who misquote Dante.
How many Asians have blue eyes?
And this is bordering on hebephilia and is more than a little 'Creepy' coming from a corporate hive mind like MS.
Did they specifically desire a sexually provocative 13 year old with budding breasts and a short skirt to be their mascot?
What next? Will she be doing Money Shots if you buy VS13?
He wasn't "The Doctor", he played a character called "Dr Who".
Where one is a 950 year old alien from the planet Gallifrey, who has two hearts, a self-renewing cell structure and penchant for attractive young women, the other was a human Earthling who only had grand-daughters and strange men.
The films are not canon.
I think Johnny Lee Miller would be good.
And since it seems appropriate that he be played by someone British, how about Kiefer Sutherland?
Richard E Grant anyone?
However, and given that he has already 'played' the role, what of David Morrissey?
ER...Rubbish!
They travel through Hyperspace.
No-one can possibly say what it looks like.
Perhaps it really does look like the opening titles of Doctor Who circa 1975.
The 'Jump to lightspeed' is therefore a metaphor for 'Do the necessary calculations in order to create and enter a hyperspace field'.
I would be more concerned about the apparent motion of the X-Wings as they appear to move through an atmosphere rather than a vacuum.
We do not live in a metric world.
24 hours a day, seven days a week, we turn 360 degrees and still know what a pint should be.
The metric system was invented by unemployed French coiffures after the revolution, so is obviously crap.
You only know a man when you have walked 1.609 km in his moccasins.
