p.2
loud ringing noise: A carbon-fibre pole does not make a loud ringing noise.

p.3
witches and ghosts that once lived on the Catskill mountains:The Catskill Mountains, located in southeastern New York immediately west of the Hudson River, form a range 48 to 64 km wide, with rounded, forested summits and deep valleys. The highest peak is Slide Mountain (1,281 m).  The Catskills were discovered in 1609 by Henry Hudson, sailing up the Hudson River.  In the Washington Irving story 'Rip Van Winkle', the Catskills were haunted.
slingshot: What the English call a catapult, like what Ace used against the Cybermen in 'Silver Nemesis'.

p.10
Shreela: One of Ace's Perivale friends from 'Survival', who was captured by the Cheetah-People.  Her name is given as Shreela Govindia on p.18.

p.11
Amstrad portable computer:
Midge: Not a very nice lad even at first, Midge was another acquaintance of Ace's from Perivale transported to the Planet of the Cheetah-People.  Midge became feral and was controlled by the Master.  He died in a collision in a motorcycle duel with the Doctor on Horsenden Hill.
Midge's little sister: Has slipped my memory.  (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) Squeak, who does appear in "Survival". She's the little girl who calls The Master "the bad cat man".
her immune system went: This book is largely about the environmental collapse late in the next decade.  Although it wasn't written yet, 'Eternity Weeps' gives a plausible reason for accelerated environmental damage.  If 'Survival' took place in 1989 and 'Cat's Cradle: Warhead' in 2009, Shreela is dying at about age 40.

p.14
'The Scrubs, where the prison used to be.': Shreela is checked into Hammersmith Hospital about ten blocks west of Ladbroke Grove.  Wormwood Scrubs is directly northwards, and a prison is next door to the west.

p.15
Patrick: who used to play with Brodie on p.5.
fight between the Koreans and Japanese: Possibly based on animosity from the Japanese occupation of Korea between 1905 and 1945.
Cattersan and Lindhurst:
Bang and Olufsen: Bang and Olufsen, or a similarly spelt company is a real high-end entertainment systems company.

p.16
McIlveen, James Haines: Creed McIlveen, who appeares in 'Warlock' and 'Warchild', is Jimmy's brother as explained on p. 152 of 'Warlock'.

p.18
television creators: The Jack Blood producers are compared to Doctor Who's.
Fighting in Indonesia: For a 1992 prediction, not bad.  Indonesia became politically unstable this year; who's to say it won't continue.
London Sunday Times: Traditionally a conservative, non-tabloid world-famous newspaper.  Other Sunday papers are less reputable.  Cartmel foresees a Times riddled with headlines such as "Whoops!" and "Phwoar!".  The pneumonia-ridden and terminally ill Shreela is described as a dusky beauty.
"Strange metal powers": typo.

p.20
Young Republicans: I'm not sure if the Americans have an equivalent to the Young Conservatives. (Text submitted by Chris Cotham) Yes we do have an equivalent to the Young Conservatives, and the YR are active on high school and college campuses across the country.  (Text submitted by William December Starr) Whatever the Young Conservatives are like, I'm sure the Young Republicans are worse...  Republicans use more religious rhetoric, have a larger nuclear arsenal and just as many social problems to misunderstand.
"Do you think the president will go to hell?": Sort of perceptive; even if Bill Clinton goes to hell because of a presidency one decade early, he'll still be popular.
Chuck: According to 'Eternity Weeps', in 2003 Bruce Springsteen is the President of the United States.  There is a presidential election scheduled for 2008.

p.21
Northern Global: Next decade analogue of some phone company.
'Again?': Absence of vital signs, breathing and circulation, is clinical death or flatlining, but people can survive near-death experiences.  Mr Pegram is probably a bit further far gone, as well as supported by futuristic technologies.

p.23
bean curd satay: Satay is some kind of Asian recipe.  The bean curd thing is a concession to alternative food sources; too much beef means too many cows farting and polluting the atmosphere with methane; cattle farming is an environmentally unfriendly practice. (Text submitted by goofy) Satay is some kind of Asian recipe.  The bean curd thing is a concession to alternative food sources; too much beef means too many cows farting and polluting the atmosphere with methane; cattle farming is an environmentally unfriendly practice.

It is environmentally unfriendly not because the cows are polluting, but because it is so inefficient. You have to clear a lot of land to farm cattle, and often this means clearcutting forests. It takes a lot more water and land to produce beef than it does to produce the same amount of vegetables.

p.25
MacPet: Macintosh computers are as able as any to run pornography programs, but the programs are more likely to be written for genuine Windows-compatibles. (Text submitted by William December Starr) It should be noted that Penthouse magazine calls its featured nude-of-the-month centerfold person the "Penthouse Pet of the Month." Yes, 'pet has a sexual meaning, and there is also that ancient computer, the Commodore Pet.

p.26
The Clash: The British new wave band The Clash were front-runners of the punk rock movement.  Their hard-driving rock sound gradually incorporated elements of jazz, reggae, rockabilly, and rap, but the heated social and political protest of their lyrics never abated.  The band formed in 1976 when guitarist-vocalist Mick Jones and bassist Paul Simonon invited lead vocalist-guitarist Joe Strummer to join them as The Clash.  Terry Chimes and Topper Headon played drums.  The Clash's successive albums--Give 'Em Enough Rope (1979), London Calling (1980), Sandinista!  (1981), and Combat Rock (1982), which included the hit single "Rock the Casbah"--brought them increasing critical and popular success.  British band from the 80s.
the earthquake: The next reference to the coming California Earthquake is in the TV Movie, where the 8th Doctor meets Gareth, who will go on to work on a UCLA task force which discovers a way of accurately predicting earthquakes.  Gareth graduates in poetry in 2000, giving him time to join the task force before 2009, by which time the Big One hasn't happened yet.
President Norris: I'm getting a bad feeling about this.  After Bruce Springsteen's Presidency, Chuck Norris is elected.
Okie migration of the 1930s: Okies come from Muskogee County in Oklahoma, as named in that song 'Okie from Muskogee' by Merle Haggard.  The Oklahoma Panhandle was one of the areas hit by the Dust Bowl in the late 1920s and early 30s.  Drought made the land impossible to cultivate, and dust became a major problem with the destruction of root systems.  Half the population of the area left.
Model T's: The Model T Ford, also called the "Tin Lizzie" or the "Flivver," was introduced in 1908.  It was Henry Ford's "car for the great multitude" and was an immediate success.  Designed for durability and economy of operation, it had a four-cylinder, 20-horsepower engine and a simple planetary transmission operated by foot pedals on the floor.  In 1908 a Model T cost about $850;  by 1925 the cheapest model, the coupe, sold for $290.  By 1919 three-fifths of all the motor vehicles in the United States and one-half of those in the entire world were Model T Fords.  The car was ideal in its time for farm families because of its ability to operate on rough country roads.  Its popularity, combined with its ungainly appearance and extreme simplicity, made it the subject of endless jokes.  Production ceased on May 31, 1927, when No. 15,007,003, the last Model T ever built, rolled off the assembly line.

p.27
barriers between her part of town and the richer suburbs, along with the private police forces: Such suburbs already exist in the Southwestern United States; walled communities with their own security guards.
ground-to-ground missile: Guided missile technology may have advanced this far by 2009; cars are already implanted with microchips and remote controls, and some have transponders for use on computerised turnpikes like the 407 Express Toll Route around Toronto.  But guided missiles cost far too much to use on lower-class citizens trying to break out of their neighbourhoods.  Cruise missiles cost up to $1 million US, and person-seekers could not cost less than a thousand.  Onsite arsenals would have to be too big in case of mass breakouts.  The US government could never pull such a scam off, even if it was Republican.
Black Leader:

p.28
triage: The action of assorting according to quality.  Usually used in a medical context for sorting mortal injuries, treatable injuries and minor injuries.
LAX: Los Angeles Xirport? (Text submitted by Chris Cotham) In reference to LAX: correct! baggage tickets are marked with three letter codes (like LAX for Los Angeles) to show which airport luggage is to go to. Apparently three letters is too much for some of the baggage handlers to cope with.......
Kennedy: John F. Kennedy Airport in New York.

p.30
buy a new one: They don't even give her a supply?
paramedic: They aren't used to diagnosing cancer these days.
Canada: Glad to see Canada is still a refuge in the 2009 dystopia.  Reminds me of The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.

p.31
EPROMS: (Text submitted by William December Starr) Acronym for erasable programmable read-only memory, and pronounced ee-prom, EPROM is a special type of memory that retains its contents until it is exposed to ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet light clears its contents, making it possible to reprogram the memory. To write to and erase an EPROM, you need a special device called a PROM programmer or PROM burner.

An EPROM differs from a PROM in that a PROM can be written to only once and cannot be erased. EPROMs are used widely in personal computers because they enable the manufacturer to change the contents of the PROM before the computer is actually shipped. This means that bugs can be removed and new versions installed shortly before delivery.  All of the above is copied without permission from internet.com's "PC Webopaedia" at: http://webopedia.internet.com/

cat: recurring image in the 'Cat's Cradle' series of books.  Its purpose is obscure, but it may be a symptom of the TARDIS being unwell.  Cats are intertwined into Time Lord history; see p.207 of 'Goth Opera'.
51: possible Area 51 - Roswell reference.
Butler Institute: First mentioned in 'Deceit', the Spinward Corporation was one of the first Multi-Planetary Corporations in the 22nd Century. Spinward was first known as the Butler Corporation in 1987 in 'Damaged Goods', when it was part of the Brotherhood telepath conspiracy.  In 2107, according to A History of the Universe, Butler merged with Eurogen to become the EB Corporation.  Eurogen Butler were responsible for the exploitation of Dimetos in the 2140s in 'Another Girl, Another Planet'.  Such corporations eventually took the Earth into receivership when the government collapsed in 'Lucifer Rising', just before the Dalek Invasion in 2157.  In 'Deceit' Spinward were running a colony on the planet Arcadia or sinister purposes; the colony ship EBC Back to Nature had left for Arcadia in 2112.  EBC eventually became Spinward.  Ace's Auxies were sent to Arcadia ostensibly to fight Daleks, but really to blow the whistle on Spinward for the Earth Government.  Also see p.233 of 'Deadfall', although that entry is mostly a copy of this one.
stiffy: typo.

p.32
Eindhoven: In the Netherlands, close to the border with Germany.

p.34
Mexico war: Geopolitically, I can't see the roots of such a conflict in anything more than the illegal immigration and drugs.  On paper, there's free trade across that border.  William Shatner's Tekwar series mixes Mexico up in a US war with Brazil, and I can't see that either.
defensive position around a reservoir: The Southwestern United States has a water deficit, and maybe they went to war with Mexico over water rights.

p.35
E-mail: The Internet jumped into the New Adventures earlier than you might think.

p.36
'Do you have any idea what a phone call costs these days?': This is Maria speaking, not one of the guards telling her off.  Arthur C. Clarke once predicted that long distance charges would be abandoned at the turn of the millennium.  With the Internet, it's now cheaper to send e-mail, or even hook up a videophone connection, than make a long-distance phone call.  But long-distance fees are racing to the lowest price.
cartoon padlock with bulging Basil Wolverton eyes: (Text submitted by William December Starr) Basil Wolverton is an American comic book artist, apparently did both "straight" (action/adventure) and comical (e.g., MAD Magazine) work. I looked at a web site about him at: http://www.angelfire.com/or/basil/index.html  and I guess some of his less serious stuff featured wild bug-eyes on his characters.
Norton Smartlock: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) (fictional?) computer security program, from the makers of Norton Utilities.

p.37
Head Doctor: For a log-in name it implies someone who messes with heads, through psychiatry or drugs.
public access computer network: Makes it sound more like a BBS or text-based chat internet rather than our Internet.  How do you make a shatterproof screen?

p.38
joss sticks: (Text submitted by William December Starr) incense sticks which, according to my dictionary, are intended  to be burned before a joss, which is a Chinese idol.
gaffer tape: duct tape.  Not necessarily a transatlantic flaw; in Canada some people call it gaffer tape, but I'm not sure about Americans.
touch type: Not learned from a school method.  I have to when I do these indexes, because my left hand is holding the book.
toner: Laserprinter ink.
corporate carpeting: Assuming sick building syndrome (umbrella malaise caused by bad air circulation and volatiles in acrylic carpet, paint etc in new buildings) has been fixed in the next decade.
theftproof mice: Trackball? (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Why would anyone call a trackball a mouse, though? It is possible to get ball-less mice (which have two little wheels on the bottom at right-angles to each other), but that still leaves the question of how they stop people walking off with the entire mouse.
Cracker Cracker, Boner, Are you Glad To Be In America, You Can't Eat a Snake: Pretty clearly just Internet nicknames for newsgroups or IRC.  Mine at the moment is EBCorp.  Work it out.

p.39
bespoke software: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) custom-made.
vectors: Directions.  The other meaning of the word is carriers for a disease, but the Doctor doesn't directly mean that here.
voodoo: In 'White Darkness' David A. McIntee uses the proper spelling vodoun.  Voodoo is a religious system with followers predominantly in Haiti, the West Indies.  Developed by slaves brought to Haiti by the French between the 17th and 19th centuries, it combines features of African and native West Indian religion along with some of the Roman Catholic liturgy and sacraments.  The voodoo deities, called loa, are closely related to African gods and may be spirits of natural phenomena, such as fire, water, or wind.
legionnaire virus: Legionnaire's disease is spread by contaminated water droplets, and is sort of like sick building syndrome.

p.40
Amoco: Oil company.  The tanker Amoco Cadiz spilled 261 million liters of crude oil when it ran aground in the English Channel in 1978 and fouled hundreds of miles of the Brittany coast, creating an ecological disaster whose effects were felt for over a decade.
Zenith: Electronics company.  Zenith, where quality goes in before the name goes on.
"Forever" - "That's a very long time": I've heard the Doctor say that before.  'State of Decay'?

p.41
closing windows down: 1992 is after Windows 3 came out, so Cartmel isn't necessarily being a Mac fan.  I am.
Chinese boxes: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) ornate puzzle boxes, usually beautifully carved.  Sort of like the one the Countess Scarlioni hid the micromeson scanner bracelet from Romana in in 'City of Death', until she found it.

p.42
Toyota: So a humble cleaning lady has her own car.  It's only a Toyota, but New York public transport has been cleaned up recently, or so the rumours seem to say. Are the traffic jams as bad as in London?
palm trees and hot blue sky: She must be delerious.

p.44
Wendacott Avenue:
Smartt Software and McCray's drugstore: A drugstore is a pharmacy, like a chemist's, druggist's, an apothecary, or what have you, putting the setting in the US.
Seven Eleven: corner store chain.
roller skates: He should be on rollerblades, in-line skates.

p.45
riots twenty years ago: 1989 riots in the United States.  Sparked by the acquittal of four white policemen charged with police brutality, the Los Angeles riot was the largest and deadliest since the turn of the century.  By the time 13,000 local and federal law enforcement personnel had restored order, 60 persons were dead and 2,383 injured. Property damage was estimated at $800 million.  But that was in 1992.  Were there any in 1989?  Three years before the book was written?  Maybe the dating is wrong.
grade 12 kids: 16 and 17 years old.

p.46
sinker: Lead shot is used to weight fishing line.  There is opposition to its use as the lead gets into the food chain.
Gameboys, Witchkids, Crows: P.134 indicates that there were Witchkids in the UK, rioting at the same time as in New York.

p.51
dampness: Maybe white rot fungus, which attacks the lignin in the paper.

p.52
Library at Alexandria:The Library of Alexandria was founded by Ptolemy I, formerly one of Alexander the Great's generals, in the 3d century BC.  Scholars there copied, revised, collated and edited works of the classical Greek writers.  The library flourished for several centuries and held about 500,000 papyrus scrolls.  The library was scattered in the 4th Century.

p.53
going through that wardrobe into Narnia: Reference to C.S. Lewis' series of Narnia  books, especially The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
quest for the rings of power: Reference to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, but there was only one ring of power at the centre of that quest.  Maybe it's The Silmarillion by the same author. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Doesn't sound like The Silmarillion, really. It could be any one of a multitude of fantasy novels "inspired by" The Lord of the Rings. Nah, there were other rings of power in Tolkien.  Three rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, remember?  The Elves and the dwarves made their rings, Sauron made his ring to control them and then the nine rings for Kings of Men who became the Nazgûl.
into the desert with Kit and Tunner and Port:
Howard's End: Reference to E.M. Forster's book of the same name, recently made into a film with Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham-Carter.
Gormenghast: The English artist, poet, playwright, and novelist Mervyn Laurence Peake, 1911-1968, gained posthumous popularity for his fantastic Gormenghast trilogy, comprising Titus Groan (1946), Gormenghast (1950), and Titus Alone (1959).  Set in an imaginary kingdom ruled according to ancient ritual, the novels trace the hero Titus's quest for freedom in pages--illustrated by Peake--that are marked by eerily beautiful imagery.  Peake's Selected Poems were posthumously published in 1972.
on the road with Dean Moriarty: Sounds more like Jack Kerouac than Arthur Conan Doyle.  Moriarty was the main character of On the Road.  He was based on a real person, who went on to become the bus driver for the Merry Pranksters and Ken Kesey.
a quiet American in the rue Catinat in Saigon: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) The Quiet American is one of the best novels by Graham Greene (who also wrote Brighton Rock)
Dillon and the kid when they killed Eddie Coyle after the hockey game: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) The Friends of Eddie Coyle, a crime novel by George V.  Higgins; Eddie Coyle supplied weapons to criminals.
up to the castle with K: The Trial, by Franz Kafka.

p.54
the day the balloon went up: Possibly a Wizard of Oz reference.  People used to use it to describe the day a worldwide nuclear war might start.

p.55
'Who cares?': Yup.

p.60
eye transplant: We can transplant parts of eyes these days, but not whole eyeballs.

p.61
a cyst in her breast: A cyst is an abnormal sac or cavity that contains liquid or semisolid material enclosed by a membrane.
lung transplant: I've seen a statistic which indicates that transplants from other people can lead to cancer just through the conflicts between two sets of DNA.
HIV7: HIV2 is a strain of HIV, the virus which causes AIDS, which is mostly confined to Africa.
Buffalo: City in Northwestern New York State.

p.64
Texas Instruments: Electronics company which invented microchips.
grey market: Not quite the black market.
popping sound: Pop goes the Ferret/weasel.

p.67
Otomo suit: (Text submitted by Allen Bednar) This is most likely a reference to the creator of that manga masterpiece Akira IMO, as Otomo is his first name.
Hamnet silk:

p.69
Krupps coffee machine: The Krupp family were German steel and armament manufacturers based in Essen, Germany.

p.70
Hoshino:

p.72
carrot instead of the stick: As encouragement for a donkey.

p.77
European Community data network: Possibly a follower of the Internet.  By 2009 there will probably be Internet satellites bringing the network that much closer together.
The House at Allen Road: Its first appearence in the New Adventures.  It also appears in 'Transit', 'Warlock', 'Warchild', 'So Vile A Sin' and 'The Dying Days', and probably that Decalog based on the Doctor's houses.  Yep.  (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Also 'Just War', and probably at least one other that we've both forgotten.  There's a DWM comic strip written by Andrew Cartmel called 'Ravens' (DWM #188-190) which features Allen Road in part three.  There's a sign at the gate which says 'Smithwood Manor', and 'No Trespassing'.  And there's a graffito on it saying 'Beware of the God'.  The plot of the comic strip has something to do with a gang of thugs attacking a fast food restaurant on the motorway (a Tastee Burger, not a McDonalds' as in the book) who are defeated by the Seventh Doctor, who brings in a Japanese samurai to disembowel all the bad guys.
They say the 2nd Doctor bought it, but I'm not sure when.  (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Decalog 2 (the one about the Doctor's homes) only has one 2nd Doctor story, and the Allen Road house isn't in it, so it's not that. I can't remember it being in 'Invasion of the Cat-People'; maybe it was in either the Decalog or a DWM Special.  Different Doctors use it on and off throughout the 20th and 21st century.  It's still standing in 2981 in 'So Vile A Sin', but that may just be a side-effect of the Nexus - it's lived in by an alternate Doctor.  In 'Transit' and 'The Dying Days' the nearest town is named as Adisham. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Personally, I've always wondered if it was a coincidence that there's a making-of-a-TV-show book about 'The Visitation' written by Alan Road...  (Text submitted by Rich, or Skywarp McGill) The Doc's house first turned up in Cartmel's early 90s DWM strip 'Fellow Travellers'. It was depicted as being pretty isolated apart from a smaller house called 'Keeper's Cottage' in the grounds that (I think) has been ignored ever since. It is only revealed to be the Doctor's house on the final page, when the Seventh Doctor and Ace observe a photo of the Second Doctor in Tibet on the wall in the hall.  I was also just thinking that it might be worth pointing out that Allen Road seems to have got it's name because of the way Allen can be defaced to read Alien, as happened in 'Ravens'.  True; Cartmel mentions that again in 'Warlock', if not earlier.  (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) When Ace and the Doctor first arrive in 'Warhead', I think, now that you mention it.  I'm pretty sure it's in 'Warhead', when the Doctor and Ace first arrive, but it's also on p.13 of 'Warlock', along with a reference to the "Beware of the God" graffito.
slope thickly wooded with old fruit trees: In 1997 at the beginning of 'The Dying Days', the helicopter carrying Alex Christian crashed in the pear orchard.

p.78
1940s Bakelite television: Like the one the Doctor used to confer with Davros in 'Remembrance of the Daleks'.

p.79
waffles: The second mention of waffles in the book; the crashed truck on p.4 had waffle-iron tires.  This mention is only a mile or two away, and concern's one of Brodie's friends.  Are they store-bought waffles or real waffles cooked in an iron?
'Who could stop us?': Could he indeed?

p.80
carpets:
ada gayi:

p.81
UN gunship: Implies an extension of the Yugoslavia role of UN peacekeepers.
Antalya: Turkish coastal provincial capital in the south, northwest of Cyprus.
one of the aircraft carriers: More than one carrier implies a large number of other ships.
Odin: Future technology.  Based on the Norse God who was blind in one eye.  Helmet-mounted Heads-Up Displays fiddle with one's binocular vision.  Check out p.85.
'My eyes are just holograms.': (Text submitted by Chris Cotham) In reference to the "look my eyes they're just holograms" pop song reference, that's Tanita Tikarim's "Twist in My Sobriety." (LIZA Minelli did it too, I think.......)
Karaali Park:

p.82
Kurd mercenaries: Kurd is the ethnic name of a number of tribal groups inhabiting the mountainous border regions of southeast Turkey, northwest Iran, north Iraq, northeast Syria, and Soviet Azerbaijan.  Kurds have been trying to establish an independant homeland, Kurdistan, and have revolted in Iraq and Turkey.  I wish I could remember the name the Kurds use for their army.  Thing is, Kurdistan should no longer exist in 2009.  In 2003 it was the beachhead for the Cthalctose sulfur virus in 'Eternity Weeps', and it got totally nuked and then eaten by a naked singularity.
Egyptian cigarettes: Tobacco is not a major cash-crop for Egypt, but it is for Turkey.  One of the major industries of Port Said, on the Suez Canal, is tobacco processing.
The attitudes of Turks towards women: Turkey has had a female Prime Minister this decade.  Turkey is a secular republic and women are not officially repressed there.
President Erel: Presumably fictional Turkish politician.

p.84
Vickers night-sight vision enhancement system: Vickers was one of the first designers of machine guns, along with the Maxim gun.

p.85
Apple Mac clone: Still going in 2009.  In 1992, IBM-compatible clones were all the rage.  I can't see Mac OS clones becoming popular, though the IMac is pretty neat, at least a triumph of style.

p.86
fed the disks into the front of the Mac: Then it's really old technology.  The IMac doesn't have a floppy disk slot, not even a 3.5.  Info transfer by CD-ROM, peripheral drive or FTP only.  Maybe Dfewar's using an ancient Mac Classic design.
Mongolian border smuggled south: Into China, not Turkey.

p.87
Marmaris: (Text submitted by William December Starr) Turkish city on the Aegean.  Tourist-attractor web site at:  http://www.mersina.com/Turkey/Aegean/Marmaris/index.html
 

p.88
Roman ruins: Cappadocia is the ancient name of a region of the central Anatolian plateau, in what is now Turkey.  After 190 BC the Cappadocian rulers became friendly to Rome. Following invasions by Mithradates VI of Pontus and by the Armenian ruler Tigranes I during the Mithradatic Wars (88-63 BC), Rome restored the Cappadocian kingdom. In AD 17 Cappadocia was annexed outright by Rome as a procuratorial province. Under Vespasian, Cappadocia was joined (AD 72) with the provinces of Galatia and Lesser Armenia to form a large new Roman administrative unit.
Cumhuriyet and Ataturk Caddesi: Kemal Ataturk, 1881-1938, was the founder and first president of the Turkish Republic (1923-38).
forbidden meat: Sounds like Turkey no longer has a secular government.  Not much of a surprise, as it got melted into sulfur and nuked back into the stone age six years earlier('Eternity Weeps').  Also might be the alternative-meat fetish we see elsewhere.
Vespa: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) moped.

p.89
Novotel: Hotel chain.
culottes: Trousers.  I think they're the shin-length, tight kind.
Rohan tee-shirt:
Ms J Smith: The Doctor often travels under the name Dr John Smith.

p.90
halogen bulbs: And they have pretty advanced voice-recognition software too.
dolmuses:
Turkish tobacco: See p.82.

p.91
'Thirteen Years Left': Until the Millennium, or age 30?
modified Python pistol with MIDI control system linked to the Vickers helmet: MIDI is a kind of cabling often used to hook up musical keyboards to computers.

p.96
Berlitz book: Berlitz books are popular guides to translation.

p.97
kif:
DIN plug:

p.98
specific gravity: Specific gravity, a term being replaced by relative density, is the ratio of the density of a given substance to the density of a standard of reference at standard temperature and pressure. The standard of reference for solids and liquids is the density of water; for gases, the density of air.

p.99
Australian soldiers in Indonesia: Another war for the next decade, but involving a developed country.
high-powered laser: Not very realistic.  A low-intensity laser should be a low-intensity laser; this one is so souped you you know you'll see it again.
'Buy British,':

p.100
Izmir: Western coastal provincial capital in Turkey.
Bo Didley(sic)playing 'Mona': Chicago, 1954
boots on the floor beside the boy's: A pre-Time Storm liaison for Ace.  Funny, in 'Happy Endings' she said Glitz was the first.
Bromley Contingent:
Gas fire on high and the door locked: Maybe just a way of staying warm, but also a method of suicide if the gas isn't lit.

p.101
box-shaped guitar with the Gretsch neck: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) Gretsch was one of the major US guitar companies. George Harrison played a Gretsch during The Beatles' heyday.
I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying.: (Text submitted by William December Starr) From the lyrics of "Who Do You Love?", performed by either George Thorogood and the Destroyers or just Thorogood solo, can't recall which.  Lyrics available at:  http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~julius/music/Thorogood/WhoDoYouLove.html

black dubbin: Shoe polish.

p.102
automatic weapon with a jutting magazine: According to p.104 it's South African, designed for riot applications, has a 512 round magazine which can be emptied in less than seven seconds.

p.105
tape player: Maybe a Digital Audiotape (DAT) player or solid-state memory running MP3's.
Loki fighter plane: Another future fighter plane.  I guess the experimental Merlin T-22 VSTOL aircraft in which Brigadier Bambera makes her entry in 'Head Games' also qualifies, except one VSTOL fighter is too small to nuke Indonesia singlehanded.
Indonesian Hawkers: Hawker-Siddeley designed the Harrier VSTOL fighter.

p.106
Valkyrie air-to-airs: The Valkyries are female warrior angels which carry dead soldiers to Valhalla in Norse mythology.  Possibly a real missile.

Cthulhu Gate software: The writer Howard Phillips Lovecraft, 1890-1937, was remarkable for the macabre imagination he displayed in his fantasy and horror tales, upon which numerous genre films have since been based. A precocious child and reclusive man, Lovecraft wrote of dislocations in the web of time and space that exposed unspeakable monsters.  He created the Cthulhu mythos to support his vision of the horrible origins of the world.  Some of his best writing is found in The Dunwich Horror and Other Weird Tales (1939;  repr.  as The Dunwich Horror, 1945) and Best Supernatural Stories of H.  P.  Lovecraft (1945).  Five volumes of his Selected Letters (1965-76) have appeared.

p.108
Three Niffelheims and a Ragnarok missile: In Norse mythology Niflheim was the underworld, the cold, dark, foggy realm of death.  Check p.103 of 'Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible'.  Ragnarok is an apocalyptic vision of the last days of the world, the twilight of the gods when the sun grows dim, the forces of evil are let loose, and gods and giants slaughter one another and all creation.  See p.31 of 'Ghost Devices'.

p.110
Fresca: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) soft drink, roughly similar to a lemon squash.

p.111
Kenwood fridge: Kenwood is an actual fridge company.

p.114
snap-sticks: Plastic tubes filled with phosphorus and a separate active ingredient to make it glow.  The stick is activated by bending it, breaking a membrane and mixing the ingredients.
There were four of the three musketeers: Athos, Porthos and Aramis were the three musketeers in Alexandre Dumas' The Three Musketeers.  D'Artagnan joined them and became the fourth, and appeared in the sequels Twenty Years After and The Man in the Iron Mask.  So the kids still read. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Well, that or they've played the video game.

p.120
complete English poems of John Donne: Rector Adams gave the 4th Doctor a similar volume in 'Old Flames', on p.15 of 'Short Trips'.
slavery-and-plantation-saga:
'The Anniversarie':

p.121
suntanned secretaries from the north of England: Reminiscent of the "adenoidal typists from Birmingham" mentioned in passing by Eric Idle in the Monty Python sketch in a travel agent's office.
Alistair Crowley: His clone was a supporting character in 'Managra'. He seems to be some kind of debaucher from turn-of-century England. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) Aleister Crowley was a mystic and founder of the Order of the Silver Star, which espoused the principle of Thelema (which was revealed to Crowley by the god Horus in 1904, apparently).  Famous quote: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
Turkish delight: (Text submitted by David Whittam) A type of candy.
plastic Eames chairs: Ergonomic chairs which stack easily were designed by Eames in the Sixties.
Hustler magazine: The Larry Flynt one.

p.122
sage tea: Sage tea has long been believed to be a spring tonic, increasing circulation, improving memory, and promoting longevity.

p.123
first-class compartment: I think they're mounted like that on 747s.
'She's an old friend of mine.': Trying to track down any millennial female companions the Doctor had who appear native in the Middle East.  None really stand out. (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) Miss David appeared in a couple of 4th Doctor comics. The character was actually supposed to be Leela, but when the publishers realized they'd have to pay an additional fee to use Louise Jameson's likeness they drew eyeglasses on her and changed her name (she still wielded a mean knife, though). I'm not sure she was ever called Miss David. I checked my references on that old comic and you're right. She wasn't called Miss David, she was called Miss Young. Don't know why I was so certain when I sent you the original note (JNT was right - the memory does cheat).  And still the dilemma.  It's not Sarah Jane unless she's in disguise - by the early 21st Century she's Sarah Jane Morley ('Interference').

p.126
charqui:
North Downs: The relief of the counties of Surrey and Kent in southern England is dominated by the North Downs--long, low, chalk hills culminating in the white cliffs of Dover.

p.127
Spanish Civil War: The Spanish Civil War was an internal struggle in Spain that began with the military uprising of July 17-18, 1936, and ended with the defeat of the Spanish republic on Mar. 28, 1939.

p.129
seeding rain: The use of chemicals to make rain (cloud seeding) and to dissipate fog is the most common form of weather modification.  Which chemicals, I don't know. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) I believe rain seeding involves dry ice in some form.

p.130
acid rain from the Ruhr and the Rhine: Weather systems move from West to East without interference from much more substantial pollution than we have today.  The Ruhr is an industrial area in western Germany.  The Rhine is a major river in the area which runs through Bonn and Köln.  It is a major grape-growing area, and pollution would shut down that winery.
cadmium, dioxin, lead, plutonium: The chemical element cadmium is a relatively rare, soft, silver-white metal closely related to zinc.  Its chemical symbol is Cd, its atomic number is 48, and its atomic weight is 112.40.  Cadmium ions are extremely poisonous;  their action is similar to those of mercury.  Cadmium, used in metal plating and in batteries, vaporizes when it is smelted;  heavy concentrations can cause kidney and bone-marrow diseases and emphysema.  The dioxin group of chemical compounds are unwanted by-products occurring in the manufacture of certain organo-halogens that are used in making herbicides, wood preservatives, and many other products.  Dioxins often remain present as contaminants in the finished products.  A member of the dioxin family, tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), is a contaminant in the widely-used herbicide 2,4,5-T. Under its code name, Agent Orange, 2,4,5-T was used by the U.S. military to defoliate large areas in South Vietnam.  Although no precise figures are available, it is widely believed that the herbicide caused innumerable animal deaths and was responsible for a considerable increase in prenatal deaths and in the births of deformed Vietnamese children.  Some Vietnam veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange charge that the illnesses they experience, including cancer and genetic disorders among their children, were caused by exposure to TCDD.  To date, TCDD and other dioxins have been definitively proved to cause only one disease in humans, chloracne, a skin disorder.  Some scientists rank it among the most poisonous substances known.  Airborne lead from automobile and industrial emissions is absorbed into the body through the lungs.  The ingestion of chips of lead-based paints (banned since 1977) or the eating of lead-tainted soil can cause lead poisoning in children, a condition that may severely affect the kidneys and the central nervous system.  Since the early 1980s amounts of lead have been removed from gasoline formulas.  Transuranic waste includes materials contaminated with man-made radioisotopes created by transmutation of uranium.  The most common transuranic is plutonium.  The amounts of radioactivity are usually small, but the transuranics emit alpha particles which are particularly hazardous to human tissue.  The greatest concern is that transuranic material might be inhaled and lodge in the lungs where it could do great damage.
Hastings: Hastings is a borough and resort center situated on the English Channel in East Sussex, southeastern England.

p.133
M2: English motorway which runs from eastern London through Kent to Dover.  Some sections of the motorway may not be completely built up and compose the A2 motorway.  On my map circa 1972 the M2 only runs from Gravesend to Faversham.

p.134
official Hackney carriage licences: A passenger vehicle for public hire. Coaches for hire first appeared in 1634 in London.  Fees were charged for rides to various parts of the city.  The operation was very rapidly expanded, with other coach owners starting up their own businesses.
Turkey McGuffins and Veal Nuggets: I've never heard of these items at a McDonalds.  They may only be sold in the UK, but it's more likely that they are a reaction to Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease (which hadn't been connected with Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy in 1992) and other anti-beef sentiments concerning the environment.
'Do you want fries with that?': On p.151 of 'Head Games' Ace remembers working at the McDonalds at Tottenham Court Road and Oxford Street, opposite Centrepoint and (now) the Virgin Megastore.  It's kitty corner to Soho, Bloomsbury and Covent Garden, so it's pretty much one of Central London's focal points.  I recall a Brief Encounter printed in a DWM about Ace working in a McDonald's and meeting the Ergon, the pantomime chicken Omega used as a servant in 'Arc of Infinity'.  The one is likely a reference to the other.  If Ace was abducted at age 13 she was working at a young age. (Text submitted by Paul Andinach) There's a highly suspicious scene in 'The Crystal Bucephalus' involving a girl called Dorothy working in a McDonalds in London, and 'The Crystal Bucephalus' comes before 'Head Games'.

p.138
Chipies:
Austin A35: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) classic car.

rope soles:
Tantric lines of power: The term Tantra refers to a pan-Indian religious movement (also called Tantrism) that arose in about the 6th century AD within both Buddhism and Hinduism and to the texts (either Buddhist or Hindu) setting forth its practices and beliefs.  The main emphasis of Tantrism is on the development of the devotee's dormant psychophysical powers by means of special meditations and ritual techniques.

p.142
hitch-hiked through the Channel Tunnel: Whatever year the Chunnel opened, it is a train tunnel only.  Cars can be put on the train, but cannot travel by themselves.  Perhaps Justine was secreted in the trunk, or car boot.
cimetière Père-Lachaise: The cemetery Ace visited in 'The Death of Art' was the St Vincent Cemetery.  Père-Lachaise is the big touristey cemetery in Paris, corresponding to Highgate Cemetery in London as seen in 'Downtime'.  Jim Morrison is buried there.
black leather lizard-king shape: See p.134 of 'Ghost Devices'.

p.143
'How is the TARDIS now?': The 'Cat's Cradle' series centres around the illness of the TARDIS and the silver cat.  Look up 'Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible'.
Transit van: See p.65 of 'The Face of the Enemy'.

p.144
Volvo estate: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) a typo, it should be Estate; like the Saab 96 and the Kharman Ghia (made by Volkswagen) it's a classic car.
Mirror: See the entry on the London Sunday Times on p.18.

p.145
the carpet: So Miss David is one of the Doctor's friends, trades in carpets, and delivered one with the barrel. The carpet is threadbare by 2014, the Parkin date of 'Warlock'.
menthol: Peppermint, M.  piperita, yields an essential oil that is primarily composed of menthol and menthone and is used to flavor candies, pharmaceutical preparations, and liqueurs.
Like Walt Disney: Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen at the point of death.  In 'Burning Heart' Dave Stone created an alternate historical Disney renamed Ralph Mimsey, and presented his cryogenically reanimated head.  Actually, I think they've recently thawed Disney and disposed of him. (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) he wasn't cryogenically preserved; it's an urban legend.

p.148
O Rh + 1794 meso/ akg dlt ugn.:
the bathroom: On p.146 of 'So Vile A Sin' Simon and Genevieve discover that the alternate Doctor keeps a Venusian (see 'Venusian Lullaby') in the bathroom of the House at Allen Road.  Tricky, because he would have needed to remove the brass fittings; metal is poisonous to Venusians.  Good thing it was just a Nexus ghost.  On p.7 of 'The Dying Days' Bernice relates the quirks of the House's plumbing.  To get any large amount of hot water you need to slap the brass tank on the landing until you hear a glup noise.  It stays faithful to the black floor tiles and the shower stall without mentioning the tub.  One would expect one of those raised affairs with feet rather than a massive sunken one.

p.150
Vicks VapoRub: Actual ointment used to clear congestion.
Filipino girl wrestler: On p.36 Mulwray and Christian were heading off to watch a Filipino perhaps similar to this.
yellow plastic duck: The Doctor seems fond of such bath toys.  The Alternate Leekley Doctor has one on Gallifrey in 'The Infinity Doctors' and the 5th Doctor, Sir Justin and Shayde encountered one in DWM #63's 'The Tides of Time' comic strip.  The 6th Doctor imagined one in DWM #89.

p.151
Ace singing in the shower: According to an entry on p.51 of 'Timewyrm: Genesys', in Season 25 Ace admitted to having no singing voice.  It was probably in either 'The Happiness Patrol' or 'The Greatest Show in the Galaxy'.  According, at least, to John Peel Sophie Aldred has a great singing voice, which is why he had her singing a drinking song in 'Timewyrm: Genesys'.

p.152
Windacott Avenue: On p.44 it was Wendacott Avenue.

p.153
twenty dollars: Predicting currency exchanges so far into the future is hard, especially because in 'Battlefield' the 7th Doctor indicated that the mid-1990s were a time of rampant inflation in the UK.  'System Shock' kept the inflation idea going by putting inflation back in single digits in 1998.  The switch to the ecu by 2006 in 'Iceberg' makes it even more complicated, but in 'Warlock' it is explained that Sterling is still used for some kinds of transactions.  This is all according to A History of the Universe.  The UK would want the ecu more than it actually has if inflation was much bigger, but the inflation would be a hindrance to being accepted into it.  15 years of a neoconservative government does not logically lead to growing inflation, except as a byproduct of unproductivity and poverty caused by cuts in social spending.  These days, $20 American is worth $30 Canadian, and about £10 or £15 Sterling.
Brian Eno: Prominent New Age musicians include electronic-music pioneer Brian Eno, known for his "ambient" recordings.

p.154
The strategy module cost $24.95: Not a bad price for a computer game.
a Pepsi and a bag of munchies: Costing five dollars and then some?  These days that would cost less than $2.
Caliber: There actually is a Caliber comics company.
Gilbert sisters:
$5.95: That's pretty stiff, for a comic in the States.

p.157
Ryohin Keikaku shaft-drive model: (Text submitted by William December Starr) Apparently a Japanese corporation that runs retail department stores or something like that.  There's a web page for them at:  http://www4.mediagalaxy.co.jp/muji/index_e.html  but I couldn't tell from it what exactly they did.
Leonard Crescent:

p.161
sculpture by Modigliani: During the early 1900s in Paris, the Italian painter and sculptor Amedeo Modigliani, 1884-1920, developed a unique style.  His friendship with Constantin Brancusi kindled Modigliani's interest in sculpture, in which he would continue his very personal idiom, distinguished by strong linear rhythms, simple elongated forms, and verticality.  Head (1912;  Guggenheim Museum, New York City) and Caryatid (1914;  Museum of Modern Art, New York City) exemplify his sculptural work, which consists mainly of heads and, less often, of full figures.
zinc-fusion-plated diamond frame: Diamond is the shape, not the composition.
ATB-type pedals:

p.163
clamshell Mac: More than the typical laptop computers, Mac has designed a couple of really neat/wierd ergonomic designs.
Sun workstation: Sun Microsystems, real company.  Look up the Apollo workstations used in the King Building.

p.166
Splatternetics: Remember that Sega Genesis game 'Splatterhouse'?

p.169
grade 9 kids: 14 and 15 years old.

p.182
Cluedo: (Text submitted by William December Starr) According to  http://www.cluedo.com/  (which I _think_ is run by the Hasbro corporation, the makers of board games), "Clue® and Cluedo are the US and European names for the same game."  Clue, of course, is the logic/mystery puzzle game, with elements of chance, to which the solution is something like "Colonel Mustard in the Dining Room with the Blaster" or somesuch.
Zeiss binoculars: The German manufacturer of precision optical glass Carl Zeiss, b.  Sept.  11, 1816, d.  Dec.  3, 1888, founded a factory in 1846 at Jena, in eastern Germany, to produce microscopes. Retaining physicist Ernst Abbe (1866) to provide the theoretical foundation for this work, Zeiss broadened his output to include other optical instruments, developed many new kinds of optical glass, and established an international reputation for the quality of his products: binoculars, microscopes and planetarium projectors.
revolver and syringe: What were they for?

p.184
Lords of Hell: An interesting theory about the origin of psi-powers.  The explanation in 'So Vile A Sin' merely explains that the Time Lords try to stop other telepathic races from evolving, I think.  If it is it's a bad job; the Doctor has run into several telepathic races.
Deptford: East London neighbourhood near Greenwich.
Isle of Dogs: Location of Canary Wharf on the Thams in East London.  A tongue of land sticking out into a pronounced loop in the river.

p.185
masses in Blackheath:
Kate Bush: Pop singer with a pagan attraction.

p.187
frayed velvet smoking jacket which Ace usually wore: Just interesting to point out; we've never seen Ace in that kind of get-up before.  Maybe she's a Pertwee fan at heart.

p.188
Italian biscuits:

p.191
'I've never been to New York before,': So where is Vincent from?
The Inn on the Green: Sounds like Greenwich Village, but is probably inside Central Park in Manhattan.
dreadlocks: Quite a commitment.  They take a while to work up, and to get them out you have to cut your hair off.  Bernice dreaded her hair on a whim in 'Lucifer Rising', but it didn't last.
kohl: The ancient Middle Eastern civilizations lavished attention on the eyes, in part because the cosmetics used served as protection from flies and the Sun's glare.  Lashes, lids, and eyebrows were painted black with kohl, a paste made from soot, antimony, or galena, a form of lead ore.

p.192
Number One, Fifth Avenue:
Oi Boys: Oi! being a popular exclamation.

p.194
methanol: Methyl alcohol or wood alcohol (methanol) is extremely toxic, affecting the optic nerve and causing blindness, and as little as 30 ml (1 oz) has caused death.

p.198
Breen: In 'Quatermass and the Pit' Colonel Breen is a major character, played by Julian Glover in the film version.
brownstone buildings: Phrase often used in American crime fiction to describe decrepit turn-of-century brick buildings, apartments, warehouses etc.

p.199
Pacific Basin: Pacific Rim countries like Korea and Japan?
bulletproof plastic window: There's bulletproof glass, but I don't know about plastic, especially transparent.
vitrification rods: Vitrification is a property used in evaluating ceramics.

Cinchona bark, butcher's broom, tannis: Quinine comes from cinchona bark.  Broom is the common name for Cytisus, a genus with about 50 species of evergreen and deciduous small trees and shrubs in the pea family, Leguminosae. Brooms are native to the warmer and drier regions of Eurasia and North Africa; many, however, have been introduced into other countries and become naturalized. Many species are cultivated for their yellow, purplish, or white flowers that grow singly or in clusters along the stiff branches. Brooms have few leaves. The common, or Scotch, broom is naturalized in eastern North America. Other plants, such as butcher's-broom, are also referred to as broom.

p.205
Gujarati or Patois: Gujarati is a modern Indic language.  Gujaratis immigrate more on average than other Indians.  Patois is any pidgin, smattering, or mixed language.

'I had a cousin in Oregon.': Possibly has something to do with a volcanic eruption in the Cascade Range.  Wind direction has an effect on ashfall, like at Mount St. Helens, in southern Washington State.

p.234
ASCII codes: American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

p.237
Portobello Market: (Text submitted by Allen Robinson) open air market (flea market) near Ladbroke Grove.
Mrs Woodcott: Mrs Woodcott also appears in 'Warlock' and 'Warchild', along with Vincent, Justine, Creed McIlveen and the King Building.  She's really wierd.  Maybe she's a Time Lord, or an older Ace.  In this book she's not real, but she appears in the other two.

p.238
a pub called The Moonchild on the corner of Powys Square: Mrs Woodcott's haunt, it appears again on p.261 of 'Warlock'.

p.239
sodium process through cells: Proteins imbedded in cellular membranes have mechanisms for transporting molecules of sodium, potassium etc in and out of the cell for use and equilibrium.
pulmonary oedema, hypotension, cyanosis: Hypotension is low blood pressure.  Cyanosis is a condition caused by an insufficient amount of oxygen in the arterial blood. A bluish color in the skin and mucous membranes is characteristic.

Fred Astaire musical: Fred Astaire is the stage name of Frederick Austerlitz, 1899-1987, who brought new distinction to musical comedy with his elegant and witty song and dance routines.  Astaire made his initial screen appearance in Dancing Lady (1933).  His greatest success came when he was paired with Ginger Rogers in a series of romantic comedies featuring their dance numbers.  Flying Down to Rio (1933) was followed by The Gay Divorcee (1934), Roberta and Top Hat (1935), Follow the Fleet and Swing Time (1936), Shall We Dance?  (1937), and The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle (1939).  In 1949 they were reunited in The Barkleys of Broadway.  With other partners, Astaire starred in such musicals as Daddy Longlegs (1955) and Funny Face (1957).
Notting Hill: East London neighbourhood near Ladbroke Grove.

p.242
teenage boy in ceremonial robes with frightened subjects: The similarities between O'Hara's project and suicide cults like Heaven's Gate are marked.  Maybe the boy is a cult leader.  As it turns out, he's at least a prince.

p.257
South Korean interrogator: Experienced in interrogating North Korean spies and protesting students, I guess.

What happened to McIlveen?: McIlveen never mentions a brother in this book.  It's unlikely the Butler Institute kept his body alive rather than putting it in the organ bank.  At the end of this book he's stuck inside a microchip in Mancuso's life support system.  He may have been trapped in the form of a sentient gun, but the Doctor may have put him back in another body.  Anybody BI had recently euthanised would be a suitable host.
