Weird thought for the day

Does a woman with a good singing voice have a more satisfying* O-voice than a woman with a poor singing voice?

Question for you all. In 2011, I'm planning on finally doing my eleven Doctors crisis crossover, since I can't do franchise crossovers. So, in the narrative, eventually the characters learn what Ten did to Donna. My question is, out of the former Companions and incarnations, who do you see as breaking Ten's jaw over it?

Probably Tegan - largely because she seems to be most prone to righteous indignation without thinking things through first.

Thanks, Seafort. I've been asking my friends both on and offline and here's a list so far:

Eleven
Nine
Ace
Donna herself
Wilf
Six

Maybe I'll just do an 'Airplane!' lineup for them. Lord knows he deserves it...

Of those, I can see Donna thumping him, possibly Wilf depending on when he gets pulled in from, but the Doctors and Ace are far more prone to thinking things through and/or realising that "best case scenario" is not a synonym for "good". The repeatedly, painfully hammered home point that the available alternatives were "serious mindfuckery" or "death" makes it abundantly clear that the Doctor's solution was in Donna's best interests.

{sigh} Curse me and my procrastination! I have a 10 page paper due tomorrow about the Tea Party (the current one, not 1776).

10 pages in 6-8 hours .... GO! :chopper: *

I've always wanted to get people to do good things for no real reason, even if they are little things. So I'm going to encourage people to smile more, because smiling makes people feel better, and hopefully it'll make someone elses day better, which may make someone elses day better and so on and so forth. If only people actually cared about making people feel better, in general they don't.

-sigh- had a physics 3 exam mock yesterday. It's the highest grade stuff I need to get a full individual physics GCSE and...the paper wasn't even worth marking, it didn't return a grade. I'm thinking similar is going to happen in statistics. No matter how hard I try revising I just can't pick it up.

I have a concert tonight and my voice crashed down hard this morning. I sound like some woman spending her life smoking and drinking in shady bars. The best I can manage is some blues-like voice, whereas I need it capable of singing as a choir voice.
Imagine this a kind of required sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef3ymMSPs_Y

I hope you never lose that spirit as you grow up, Nick. All too often, as times passes and grinds you down, sentiments like that are forgotten.
