True, but again it's not like the Democrats don't have more than their share of self-serving, greedy dickheads. But as I say, I'm probably just being too cynical. Still, a pessimist is never disappointed

hello!

I'm not sure I'm a fan, exactly. But she is a great writer, and we need more like her.

Yes

I think that's the only SF book my Dad ever liked.

It works so well, on so many different levels: politics, physics, ecology, characterisation, the whole interplay of all those things. And her descriptions stay with me; the Abbenay trams, and the excremental-shade-of-orange blanket. And her ear for a name is spot on.

Actually i've worked in sciencey stuff too, in labs and stuff, but all to do with plants, microbiology, and agrochemicals and things

Hope it improves. It's always worth keeping an eye on the jobs market though.

damn, if my wife was still on here should could probably help. My advice is to try and hang on and make the proper people aware that you need help. Even if that means having to go to the top

I'd love to be in afull on, horn section and all psycho billy band (ala Rocket From The Crypt, The Rezillos). That song is ace

Solar Empire looks decent, I'm not keen on games set in the past for some reason (it wasn't me who blogged about Total War )

You loved Rocket From The Crypt, more than anything ever. You try to pretend not, because otherwise you'd cry yourself to sleep every night since they split up.



Wait, that's me

let me know if you make it down to london for that show then !

oh and yes i've noticed we share the same perversion via that wonderful thread

Yaawwwwnnnnnnn

God its Boring round here.

anything with ninjas and i am hooked

Yes indeed

Thank you; much appreciated.

Thanks

You are entirely right, of course. I was just amused that it sounded like a cheap FX pedal. My bad.

It is a good demo of the effect, actually. It's just that we're moving into a post-Photoshop world, where people's first reaction when they run across a piece of film which "looks strange" is "oh, they shot that on a sound stage in Pasadena". So yeah, I plead guilty to being far too cynical.

They did show a condensed half hour version of Mythbusters on BBC2 a few years ago and yes Brainiac is only on Sky. It mostly involves blowing up caravans

Doh.

Ha, I'm sure it'll be more of a pfft and fizz than big bang, but the possibilities are interesting nontheless.
The scifi geek in me loves the theory that the LHC will inadvertently create a mini universe which they can't even see and won't know about.

I was homeless at 15 so my A levels were taken around a full time and a part time job. When I eventually got an educational stage where I could take a Degree, I had neither the support nor ineterst to actually do it unfortunately, a lot of things were going on

Only been there once but it's very pretty, just watch out for the endless stream of tourists
