all good things come to those who wait...

...in my case, a 4 figure set of Torchwood action figures for a tenner including postage. Granted, I wasn't all that interested in the weevil, and I don't *need* a spare Jack even if I have a use for one, but I did want the Cyberwoman and Gwen, so this was a bargain.

I'd point you all at the link, but there were only two left at that price when I put in my order, and now the price has gone back up. (Though you can still get them for around twenty quid inc postage, which is half the release price.)

The use for the spare Jack (no sniggering at the back) is that I currently have a spare DW Jack guarding my computer at work. But the DW version doesn't have a stand, and thus has to be bluetacked to the desk to spare him the indignity of falling on his face every time someone walks past my desk. The TW version does come (I said no sniggering) with a display stand, and thus is self-supporting, even if not as attractive a piece as the DW version.

So you're saying the new Jack can stay erect better and longer than the other?

[julesjones]

I am peeved, sir, that I did not say that, and that you thought of it first.

This will not prevent me from shamelessly stealing the line when I introduce the new Jack to my colleagues on Monday morning.

I already got my sniggering in the first time you mentioned it.

[julesjones]

I am sure there is even more innuendo to be found in that post other than that which was inserted deliberately.

[seawasp]

Well, of course. This is JACK you're talking about.

I'm not sniggering. I'm laughing quite a rumbling laugh and thinking about...nah, I'm sniggering.

[julesjones]

It is morally equivalent to sniggering, whatever the actual physical aspect may be.

Or possibly immorally equivalent, given the context.
