It's not dissimilar to the new TARDIS.

OK. It's a bit different...

That floor looks dangerous!

I really do wonder what's happened to him.

Maybe he's found an admirer. Or perhaps been transported to a distant planet in an alien spaceship.

(I do realise that one's highly unlikely.)
Nostalgia is not what it used to be. 😟

I apologise, in advance.

Surely, if aliens had taken him to experiment on, they'd have finished with him by now and slung him back!

I thought that was why we have had him bugging you (and recently me) for the past few years, what with his higher technical webmaster ability (probably imprinted by alien tech), persistence in grammar (typical for one brainwashed by aliens) ... actually, maybe he is an alien, and has returned to his mothership. What does that make Peter?

If aliens have removed his brain for research, and then returned him as little more than a zombie, he could be out there wandering the streets. He may need our help. Mince - if you're managing to read this - phone Vulture. Let us know you're okay.

Mince is playing the Trivia Quiz as his alter ego Peter. I told you this before but you wouldn't listen, oh no, you know better.  ..0

So does that mean that Mince has taken over from Peter as an alien spy, having relieved him of this duty.  Maybe, Peter has been recalled to the mothership to get an upgrade in spelling?
