Are you... making her a... present? 

This morning I just cracked 1,000 pushups, 1,000 crunches and 500 dips. And in the past month I've increased my run per day from 4 miles to 6.

I hate you.

I saw a newspaper headline today that referred to Al Megrahi as 'the Lockerbie bomber.' Now there's a misnomer if ever there was one (it was the Syrians).

I have golden syrup porridge

Because runny sugar has so much less sugar in it than dry sugar. 

I'm not thankful for much, really (let's be honest here), but I can take the rough with the smooth.

[vol.3]

Strontium Dog Agency Files, vol.3 !!!  



Only one story in so far and already they've recycled the plot of The Killing. It's great stuff though. More comedy Scotsmen, and Middenface on a tractor. Hooray!

A guy I do work for seriously suggested to me that the Pleiadean aliens should confiscate all of the world's nuclear weapons in order to avert the end of the world in 2012. I thought this thread was the appropriate place to post it.

I find out that he has here number but she doesn't feel coumftouble about giving me her number.

Topic of conversation for you for this coming Saturday:

"He didn't feel comfortable when I asked him to tell me your number, so instead let me give you mine."

Then the three of you watch a DVD together, play Gundam Transformers or make some beans on toast: whatever floats your boat and defuses the air of tension that's likely to arise from the topic of swapping phone numbers when clearly you both fancy her, she doesn't fancy him, and she's loving all the attention she's getting from two (or was it three) guys who are interested in her.

I agree that 70-80s is plausible for the flashback bits, but I got the impression from the first series that the humans had slept in deep-freeze for years longer than than planned, and it was therefore set, as Tordelback said, many years in the future.

You are quite right. The age of the pickled General isn't that big a clue, because he might've been in deep freeze for centuries and thawed out prior to being dunked in a jar of amniotic formaldehyde.

During my brief Civil Service employment I was surprised at how many whole families were employed by the organisation I worked for. I'll bet there were opportunities to pull a few strings here and there.

I heard this on news24 - the final line of the report was something about his songs being "still played by buskers today" which has to be the faintest praise I've ever heard.

Ah, that good old folk tradition, keeping memory alive. Like I said before, it's a pity we don't still have the recordings...

Plus revealing you want Gene The Hackman (Tougher and Tough, who has travelled far scrapping Them and lost his pack) to spit inna cup wouldn't be too dramatic I reckon.

Alternatively they could scratch him with a rough spatula.

[Kingdom]

It would be sensible for the writer (Dan Abnett) to duck the question of the precise date in Kingdom, but if the aux programme is inferred to have been started after 1970 (the Human Genome Project was completed in real life in 2003, but may have been started earlier than 1990 in this story), and Old Man Gary was at least 60, then we might conclude that Kingdom is set in 2030 at the earliest. Depending upon how long the General can be kept alive in a jar, the story might be set in 2100.

'Some time between 2030 and 2100 AD' suits me fine.

My in-laws are great. I mean the mother and step-father.

LOL @ Shakara the [spoiler]Biker[/spoiler] !! Wonder what prompted that?

Homage to Deadlock, ABC Warriors and Nemesis?

Much the same Prog as #1719, except this week we get to see more of Procopio's sexy curves again. I approve. Ditch Shakara. Procopio spin-off series soon, please?
