Still waiting for the right opportunity to use 'vulpine degenerate'.

This miniature Orac stuff is stupid. If it could be done, why not do it all the time rather than cart that great big version around? One of those good ideas that are never seen again. |

it's so sweet listening to Blake trying to sound streetwise.

I wonder if the actors ever pointed that out to the directors, that they were missing vital opportunities. But I imagine Orac would have complained about being hoodwinked. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Agreed! My week went well,thank you, despite the weather being unseasonably and unreasonably cool. Last weekend was the 100km walkers, this weekend it's the Windermere Marathon (which goes past the door) and the Windermere Swim. This means an influx of hundreds of people, on roads built for horse-and-cart traffic, so our plan is to stay indoors and not even attempt to use the car. Oh. so the weather was cold this week? It was so lovely when I was there. Shut up. This is the North. You visited the South. There's a difference. Oh come on. Yes, of course the south is quite a lot warmer, but there's been a huge difference between temperatures at the end of May and temperatures last week just about everywhere. It has been both cold and wet last week. Hi AA, How are you? |

Plus, of course, the north of England is hardly 'the North' - nothing south of Inverness is really north, and to Shetlanders even that is the far south.

Anyway, hello everyone. Sorry to hear about all the stress, Obsidian. And very nice to meet you in London, Tyce - glad the rest of the trip went well. |

The stress might be halfway manageable if we weren't meant to be focussing on house renovations instead. Definitely having a holiday before they start. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

It occurs to me that there must have been quite a big gap between the last episode and this one. Time for Travis to travel on the Bari, for the injuries of the Bari's crew to heal, and for Doccholli to become established at Space City. |

And at some stage Travis is going to make his bargain with the Andromedans. How many of them have infiltrated human society, i wonder? They could be anywhere! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

And at some stage Travis is going to make his bargain with the Andromedans. How many of them have infiltrated human society, i wonder? They could be anywhere! We could be looking at some... The guy playing Jarriere was apparently in the Legend of Robin Hood with PD. I must have a look later. I don't remember him. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

And can't immediately find anything in any of the literature mentioning it; for example, if it was the moves from a famous match. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

That Feliway stuff never worked with our cats, so maybe something stronger. Valium for cats. There's Prozac for cats, so benzos for cats no doubt extist.

I love Servie's explanation of the Machiavellian twists and turns. "Pestilential rathole" is a term I've used successfully.
