Since everyone else is commenting on John D - I thought I would put in my 2c worth... If things had not worked out so well financially and career-wise with John, and if he was not so stoically capable in dealing with the various shitty vicissitudes (sp?) of life this would be the time when he would ...

Brive is top poster - if we are going by sheer number. But I think that others may have him beat if you go by the number of posts per day. Or even number of pictures per post or perhaps length (as the Actress said to the Bishop). I think I expressed my condolences at the last rumour of demise...so r...

I recently listened to 'The Broken Sword' and 'Three Hearts and Three Lions' both by Poul Anderson and both available at no extra cost on Audible.

That's inevitable because life began around 3.8 billion years ago, but that isn't the question people want answered in the abortion discussion.

He said recently that the use of psychedelic drugs would not enable you to examine your own DNA structure.

Which sounds pretty dismissive of peoples lived experience...and therefore would qualify him as 'just autistic' in the current (post?) modern sense.

There was still a Jones Butcher Shop last time I went to Thetford.

The words "They don't like it up 'em'" spring to mind. Though I'm not sure how relevant they are in this case.

I have it on good authority (well, one person on YouTube) that it is not culturally offensive to ask a Russian (or Ukranian) to use the phrase:

"Is Moose and Squirrel".

I am not saying John Corea is wrong on the law. I suspect this poor shop owner has just destroyed his life for the next ten years. I am saying that I think the law is wrong. If a dood in a mask jumps your counter to steal shit you should be able to execute him. Most people do not agree with me. 'Ex...

As I recall he was in 'Dalek Invasion of Earth 2150 AD' and then came back to work on the series in the early 2000s.

RIP to Alan Grant - creator or co-creator of such comic characters as 'The Bogie Man', Middenface McNulty and 'Sam Slade Robo-Hunter'.

People can look after their own security interests better rather than expecting (or hoping) that the nanny state will do it for them.

People seem to prefer the classic to the modern.

But I see that Boorman also directed Excalibur which I remember thinking was a "trippy examination" of that story.
