So sad, no more  (While being Poiant, not disrespectful...) Spock or In Search Of....

While the needs of the one....outweigh the needs of the few

Only repeating that quote here, because it was one of his more interesting one from the scifi series he was best known for.

Were the needs of the few that much greater.........

Boris Nemtsov, Russian liberal politician, shot 4 times in the back. Another voice stilled in an increasingly controlling Russia. RIP. Z

Sorry to read about the passing at only 59 of one of the co-creators of The Simpson Sam Simon.

Gosh, I've been ever so busy, I'm only catching this now. Simon is a late 20th century; early 21st century person of note. I'm fairly ambivalent about most of the post 2003 Simpsons episodes but that episode with Grandpappy Simpson stroking the revolver saying "you're the bees knees baby an I missed you bad" is a bealter. God rest him. Z

After the last fortnight I almost didn't dare click on this thread when I saw new posts.

It's been a hard school Dark Jimbo and no mistake. We'll have better ones. Z

aw that's a shame. I devoured all of the earlier discworld books, but tailed off a bit as they were starting to become a little formulaic, but they were astonishing books and spawned hundreds of imitators.

Crappy news.

RIP Mr Pratchett, your works brought me a lot of much needed laughter over the years.
