Huggy, you have out done yourself this year. Thank you for the much needed laugh this morning. Am I missing something obvious with the inscription in the pub? |

Huggie- I loved the story and knew immediately each and every fan you mentioned! It made me feel all warm inside thinking we were all together in a pub sharing the holiday together! You made my day! Thank you so much.

Virn - I think I have some of your (shall we call them) BLAKELE’S correct - but I’m still working hard on the others. Cygnus Bazza - Thanks for the great karaoke for my next karaoke night. Paula - fabulous jokes. Particularly like the Vicar the sheep and the sooty Santa. Brad - Thanks for your musical entertainment. :-) Virn and Travisina - so nice to hear from Travisina. Please give her my best. Paula - Love the photo. Hugbot - Nice story. Anne Arthur - Ha ha, very clever. :-) Edited by Tyce on 15-12-2024 00:41 |

I'm posting the answers to my Fill-In Puzzle today, so I dont forget later. If you haven't completed it yet and intend to - look away now. :-)

Huggy, you have out done yourself this year. Thank you for the much needed laugh this morning. Thank you! Am I missing something obvious with the inscription in the pub? It should look familiar to you; but within the story, it just served the purpose to identify the pub (scroll down a little to see a picture of the fireplace). Edited by Hugbot on 15-12-2024 09:12 |

A great tale, Hugbot! CB, another amazing filk. AA, a fantastic ficlet, with extra points for mentioning 'Public Eye'. |

Huggy, thank you for finding a pub that had Prawn Cocktail Pringles!! And Lurena, I have managed the doors.. but I'll think I'll get a tube of the above Pringles and start to do the jigsaw later on today!!! Cold! You don't know the meaning of the word cold! Cold is when you have ice on the INSIDE of your window!! Sue's Book Shelf https://www.mediafire.com/folder/z1xg...Zine_Shelf Rebel Run Video https://youtu.be/8prqS-XZtLo |

Much appreciation to everyone for their contributions. Thanks for the carol, Brad. Not one but three B7 chart hits from CB - and thanks for links to the originals! Looking forward to reading all the stories again properly when I have more time, and can't wait to do the new jigsaw. Thanks, Lurena!

Not one but three B7 chart hits from CB Four chart hits, not three. It's a common misconception that 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' didn't chart in the UK. But it actually went Top Ten. I'd have thought the Federation would be across that kind of detail. Never mind. To business... Thought I'd post my solution to your WORDLE thingy of 2nd Dec. It's taken me a fortnight - and it's the first time I've dabbled with this type of puzzle - but confident I'm a good 75% of the way there: 3 letters: GAN 4 letters: ORAC 5 letters: VILLA 6 letters: BLAKEY 7 letters: SERVLAN 8 letters: DECIMALS 9 letters: THATVINNI 10 letters: BLAKESMATE (can't remember his name) 11 letters: SCORPIOOOOO 12 letters: BRIANBLESSED (little known fact - there's no space in his name. Check Wikipedia) 13 letters: RECEPTIONISTS (there's deffo one in 'Powerplay' must be a second one somewhere) 14 letters: ADVENTCALENDAR (I'm pretty sure this is all one word) When do I get to choose my prize? |

A great tale, Hugbot! Huggy, thank you for finding a pub that had Prawn Cocktail Pringles!! Thank you! Unfortunately, the last time I was at the Cherry Tree, they didn't have any PC crisps. So I guess you have smuggled in your very own PCPs. |

Perhaps a slightly rushed response, there, CB. Started off reasonable but rapidly went downhill. Surprisingly, one of them is correct. Please feel free to choose (and purchase) your own prize.

That has genuinely made my Christmas. You never lose it. I've just adopted a snow leopard, as it happens, so I'll forgo the purchase of superfluous bangles on this occasion and simply bask in the glow of my critic-defying, logic-shredding success. |

[Please feel free to choose (and purchase) your own prize. That reminds me of a great line from The Goon Show - "You have to find my son, Inspector! Money is no object! I'll even chip in five bob myself." |

Couldn't head off for the hols without congratulating you on your latest contribution, M1. If ever there was a questionnaire that needed filling in, it's this one. |

Just wanted to say how much I have been enjoying everyone's contribution to the Advent calendar. Special thanks go also to Tyce for the wonderful photo of her with Jan and Sally! I'm always glad to see recent photos of our actors, like the one I posted of Brad and I from Chicago TARDIS with Jan and Brian! And the puzzles- especially Lurena's contribution- love them. And the stories- everything has been so fun and entertaining- I just wanted to thank you all for volunteering a bit of your time for all of us to enjoy! Happy Holidays and there is more to come, and even another contribution from little old me. Cheers!

I love the story, Sue. Santa is a very good judge of character. He has all of them figured out. |

Tell me which ribbon Jan Chappell gave me during her autograph session? Paula, it has to be the pink ribbon. |

I’m so glad people are enjoying it! I made my brother test run it a couple of times to make sure it works reliably.
Don’t be sorry. Be quiet.

Dodgyville- I loved your Horizon Christmas vid. What an inspired idea to use a snow globe as the back half of the Liberator! Wonderful! And to each and every one of you- well done! Resist the Host

Apparently I'm packing my bags for Kairos. Thanks, NTG, that was fun. CB, I love the snow globe 'reveal' partway through. But that Servalan cameo at the end - did you throw that in especially for Ms Virn? |

Thank you everyone for joining in, or just looking on. Especial thanks to all those who did double-duty or more. I haven't looked properly, but I think this year's 'above & beyond' award goes to the indefatigable Cygnus Bazza. Merry Christmas everyone! May it be everything you hope for (and include a B7 Blu-ray and a Production Diary in your stocking). |

Once again, well done all of you who happily participated in our Advent Calendar this year. I loved all the days whether it be a puzzle, story, photo, or other item- they were all eagerly devoured by me! Thank you all.

I'm a bit late this year due to work , work, work and family duties, but oh, how wonderful and enjoyable this Advent Calendar is again! Thank you all for your creativity and contributions! I love to read the stories and I had to avoid reading this comment-thread because I didn't want to see solutions of some puzzles as I had no time yet to solve them myself. Cheers to you all for being great B7 fans and a big thank you to Joe Dredd for keeping up the tradition and starting this Advent Calendar! A special note to Tyce: I'm so happy you were able to meet the stars! I imagine they took you "over the moon" as they are truly lovely ladies indeed! *No, I am not. I am not expendable, I'm not stupid, and I'm not going.*
