  1. Now I'm off to bed...early-ish start tomorrow.
  2. You see folk, Star Trek gave SF a bad name - all imperialist space opera, a sort of JFK in space.
  3. The general consensus on Star Trek appears to be that the Internet will explode if I don't like it. *looks out windows for fireworks*
  4. @Aquarius1961 ...I liked the original three - the more recent ones were lovely to look at but a little plot light
  5. Am I allowed to say that I never liked Star Trek?
  6. @bernardmccabe ...I guess they've answered all the big questions now.
  7. @AlJahom ... it is a feeding frenzy of self-interest with us "consumers" treating it all like some deluded game show
  8. @Frances_Coppola @NaxosMinator ...coupons are good too - been waiting for this day to be proved right about private money & sales promotions
  9. @AlJahom ... I like doing what I do but really hate political debate - or the ad hom dribble that passes for it in the media
  10. RT @Frances_Coppola: @naxosminator Are "alternative currencies" appearing yet? Bound to happen <- clubcard points ftw!
  11. So after todays hurricane in a demi-tasse, tomorrow we'll have a tsanami in a thimble over how much DC's worth. We really are pathetic.
  12. @LesRosbifs @Pam_nAshes ...saying Downing's pretty dodgy isn't exactly original mind you!
  13. @Pam_nAshes ...given Bresnan's winning streak maybe a good thought - and he can't be worse than Stuart Downing, can he!
  14. An indication of everything wrong with our political order... bit.ly/MRuHT9
  15. @MTPT ...because all those who watched Wallander were too depressed to talk about it?
  16. Right darlings - curry it is!!! In Bingley. With added beer! Yay!
  17. Am I one of Richard Murphy's tax dodgers? (who knows!) bit.ly/KVm3Ow
  18. The real issue isn't Sayeeda's rent at all - if you read the DT story it's actually that they don't like her as Party Chairman.
