So it's OK for a 20-year-old to be with a 17-year-old (20/2+7 = 17) but unthinkable for a 30-year-old to have a paramour younger than 22. I always managed to stick to that rule, so I think it makes sense.<br /><br />Romana claimed to be 140 when the Doctor was allegedly 760, so clearly he wasn't sticking to the rule, the lecherous old goat...Eric TF Bathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877525364475334374noreply@blogger.com
