Britpick Question

[amberfocus]

Is it more common for a man from the U.K. to be circumsized or uncircumsized as the cultural norm?  If it matters, he's from Scotland.  Yes, it's for Zeppelins.  Yes, it's for Jonathon.

Uncut.

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Statistically, last time I saw, about 20% of males in the UK were circumsized

ETA: I just rechecked and the number now is thought to be around 14% and 20%

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Thanks. You're a love. I thought so, but wasn't sure. And it makes the most sense for Jonathon to have been formed that way. I didn't really like the idea of having him had that done as an adult, because really, Ten2 would have had to have if Jonathon was circumsized, wouldn't he of? Though I suppose the sonic screwdriver could have worked wonders and made it painless.

...

And now I'm picturing Ten and Ten2 arguing over the merits of circumcizing him.

'I'm telling you, it won't hurt a bit'

'Oh, really? Let's try it on you first, then.'

*has just died laughing* Okay, now I'm feeling that there's a crack!fic out there just waiting to happen... ;) ♥!

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

Or, alternatively, Rose could walk in on Ten circumcizing Ten2, but from the angle (of course, Ten would have to be on his knees in front of Ten2), it would look like something else entirely.

'Well, that puts a new spin on pleasuring yourself. (Rose looks over her shoulder and yells down the corridor) Jack, I owe you ten quid.'

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

I take it back: NOW I've died laughing... *clutches sides* It was the yelling down the corridor to Jack that sent me over the edge, lol! ♥♥♥!!!

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

They would totally have a pool going on.

Jack: "On come on, like the idea of many Doctor doesn't send your mind in the gutter."
Jackie: "Rose, he's kind of got two of those now too!"
Rose: "MUM!"
Jackie: "Oh shush."
Jack: "I bet any of you ten quids that before the end of the day, you get naughty thoughts about being with them both"
Donna: "I'd rather there be two of you"
Jack: "What?"
Donna: "Nothing."

*snorts* Donna, FTW!

[ageless-aislynn.livejournal.com]

ZOMG, it's like "the outtakes they could never show on TV...until now" or something! *is still laughing like a loon*

*offers a basket of cookies if that becomes an actual crack!fic* ;)

*gives you a cookie anyway just for the LOLZ already* ;) ♥!

[captain91.livejournal.com]

i don't suppose i'm lucky enough for this to have every turned into a fic? no?
DAMN!

[10-rose.livejournal.com]

Why, why do I imagine Jack jogging in going "Need help, Doc?"

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yup.

[solarflar3.livejournal.com]

Well having seen the picture on the internet of DT in the buff, I can say that he is uncut! So it makes sense the Jonathon would be really.

[vallora.livejournal.com]

Umm... do you happen to know where that picture is? [Innocent eye flutter]

[solarflar3.livejournal.com]

Here you go http://www.tongs.org.uk/files/DT.jpg

Only showing you in the interest of ensuring 'Zeppelins' is authentic and accurate of course....


;-)

[vallora.livejournal.com]

Thank you. Every since the comment made on the Friday Night Project the first time David was on there, I've been VERY curious. And of course it's all for the interest of 'Zeppelins' and making sure I've got the images in my head right. ;-)

[solarflar3.livejournal.com]

Of course! Why else should we possibly want to see a picture of David Tennant's bits?

We are not crazy, smutty fangirls are we....

;-)

[amyo67.livejournal.com]

Are you sure that's un? It may be because I'm in the states and used to cut, but that looks like snipped to me. ALthough,it isn't a very close pic and I am probably completely wrong. Don't mind me

[solarflar3.livejournal.com]

Yeah, apparently he had an elastic band tied around the end of his foreskin; not exactly sure why though!

Perhaps the picture needs to be studied more closely....

:-P

[amyo67.livejournal.com]

Purely in the interest of accuracy. Right. *giggling*

[azriona.livejournal.com]

I'm almost afraid to ask. Why on earth did he have an elastic band tied there? I'm mean, I'm guessing it had something to do with the play, but...

I'm also wondering about the lucky poor costume mistress who got to explain that part of the costume to him......

[thette.livejournal.com]

Perhaps he was feeling Greek (http://www.dalesorenson.net/labels/penis.html)?

[azriona.livejournal.com]

I have to think actors who appear nude on stage are pretty much going along those lines - "all part of the uniform". Plus, as I recall, you get extra pay for it, which I'm sure is nice. After you're over what is sure to be the initial embarrassment.

(I know the first time I worked on a show where actors were appearing nude, they were FAR more blase than I was about it. I was MORTIFIED. I also wasn't aware that they were nude until I happened to look on the stage, and there was a naked guy covered in baby powder standing there. Two weeks later, I was having a rational conversation while the stage manager was applying said baby powder to his...um...nether regions. Amazing what a person can get used to seeing, given enough time/exposure.)

[salimali.livejournal.com]

Apparently, so I've read, its done to prevent an unwanted erection on stage?!?!?

[millylicious.livejournal.com]

...that would really be embarassing.

[azriona.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, actually. I wonder, then...if he saw something that MIGHT have otherwise given him an erection (and oh dear God I can't believe I'm typing this), I wonder what would happen to that blood flow? And would it be uncomfortable? Would he even know it was happening?!?!?!

[salimali.livejournal.com]

LOL!! :oD

Well if you ever meet DT you'll have to ask!! I'm sure he won't ever have answered that question before!!

[azriona.livejournal.com]

you ask him first. i'll stand right behind you and nod.

[salimali.livejournal.com]

OK but as I'm only 5ft 1 he'll still see you *G*

[azriona.livejournal.com]

I'm 5'4". And I can squat. And I'll pretend to speak only Russian.

[salimali.livejournal.com]

knowing DT he probably speaks a few words of russian!!

[azriona.livejournal.com]

And if he knows how to answer that question in Russian, then I'll ask him. Otherwise, it's all you. :)

(Look at it this way, he might offer to demonstrate! In which case, I'm happy to act as the impartial observer...)

[salimali.livejournal.com]

ok then, IF I ever meet him, I'll ask. I'll be brave, blush a lot then tell him I had to ask as it wsa a bet :)

[azriona.livejournal.com]

And if you do - I will bake you cookies for LIFE.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Oh, my. And that's without an erection, too. Makes you wonder if the Ten inch joke really is true, doesn't it?

[lady-dree.livejournal.com]

Wow. I had a "god you're skinny, that wouldn't fit a rat" Donna kind of moment. Still shagable, but that man needs a few good meals.

[10-rose.livejournal.com]

DT in the buff (http://pics.livejournal.com/10_rose/pic/0000129x)

*warning* that link takes you to a picture of a nude David Tennant on the stage ;) While I, nor anybody else can force you to or not to click that link, I do advise you use sense when doing so. Not safe for work ;)

[vallora.livejournal.com]

Good thing I'm not at work yet. 8-)

[taliah-rose.livejournal.com]

Uncut, like they said! *thinks about the reason for this queston and bounces*

[solarflar3.livejournal.com]

Uncut as others have said. Its only done here for medical and religious reasons and on the NHS only for medical reasons.

LOL-ing at some of the replies to this topic... especially the sonic being used as a tool......

Ouch!

[lostwolfchats.livejournal.com]

I would have definitely say un

[yummytimelord.livejournal.com]

Is it just me or does he seem to have less chest hair in that pic? Hee, does he shave me wonders...

[taliah-rose.livejournal.com]

He was pretty young when he did that play, about 24. His chest hair must have grown quite a bit since then. Mmmmmmmm.

As for what is being discussed on this thread at the moment, I would say that David is not a small man, in any sense of the word!

[platypus]

It's these kind of discussions that make me proud of the fanfic community *g*. Research!

On a pedantic note, the spelling is 'circumcised,' for Americans and Brits alike :).
