"It's absolutely bloody awful, Doctor!" Sarah Jane complains, sighing and shaking her head. "I feel horribly fat and that only gets worse ever day. I'm not allowed to go on reconnaissance anymore and have to work from inside the Hub. And then? Oh, then there's the fact that I'm positively randy most of the time and he's all the way in Scotland and phone sex just simply isn't cutting it anymore!"

That? Is also not quite the angry rant she had been planning out for months.
