Like when you read one of my walls of text, right?

You can't feel what you don't read.

I thought that was normal.

Your avatar implies as much.

Of course, if you were a normal joe, and let's say you did it in ten-hour shifts, then you're looking more at the likes of 84 days, which is 12 weeks, or three months.
^ Thanks for the stats on Dr. Who, TH. Although I love its low-budget inventiveness, as epitomised by the Tardis phone box, I think one episode a day would be sufficient for me. That means that if I started with William Hartnel's first episode today, I wouldn't be done until July 2020. Don't think I'm ready to make that kind of commitment.

^ Oh dear! I hope this is mainly self-dramatisation and not too much reality Batlord.

One movie that entranced me completely was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. It was so fascinating to me that I didn't want it to finish, and when it did, and I drifted out of the cinema in a trance, it was a bitter disappointment to realise that, instead of being The Man with No Name, I was just a South London schoolboy again.
