I am not such a Doctor Who fan that I would deliberately go out and buy Converse boots just so that I could wear the same footwear as the soon-to-be outgoing 10th Doctor Who. I wouldn't do that.

But I did need some new shoes... which would be suitable for the heat of the summer... and well, they were always popular when I was a younger man, so perhaps I should just try them on, see how they fit?

I'm not a geek.

But if I do get the chance to spend the evening playing Scrabble with my girlfriend and watching Doctor Who on DVD, then why shouldn't I?
