(puzzled look on face) Are you SURE Volvos don`t have teleport capabilities?? I could have sworn mine did. (understanding finally penetrates extremely thick head). OH! You mean it wasn`t Teleportation that got me from Pompey to Eastbourne in 85mins? Then THAT was why the camera was able to *clock* my speed!! DUH! Must have forgot to switch on the cloaking device when I left home. I do like the idea of the shuttle craft. Though it would still be a bit small for humans, looks more like a metallic cat basket. Perhaps it is Spot`s personal transporter for his shore leave on Earth?...

'Oxford contingent'?!? Some of us baulk at *that* particular description, you know! ;) All in all, I think our nerves hel up pretty well. Reba and Pita were magnificent - really lucid, interesting, informative (what else do we expect from them?). I was a little more nervous and found that I dried up here and there.

Blake: "Heroes" (naturally) Avon: "Putting Out Fire (with Gasoline)" The phrase "You wouldn't believe what I've been through" seems so appropriate. And he complains about being part of a rebellion, but once the leader is gone, picks up the standard. Gan: "Let's Dance"... It's so mainstream. :) Travis 2: "Scarey Monsters" Jenna: "Ashes to Ashes" or "Major Tom" Dayna: "Glass Spider" (I think, being a motherless girl herself, she'd be touched by the image of the baby spiders 'searching frantically for their mother. But the Glass Spider would have long gone, knowing that somehow, her babies would survive, on their own'.) Suggestions on the others?

I bought a CD many years ago with sci-fi themes on it and was aghast to find that Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica had been turned into a DISCO synth-hybrid. It's beyond me why companies do this. Many of the other themes on this CD were the orchestral ones, yet the most popular themes seemed to be the ones they destroyed. And to think, I ALMOST bought the "Cult Files" CD. Thanks for the warning.

For those who've forgotten, it is on Saturday June 20th at Pages Bar. I'll probably get there about 5.30 to 6.00pm. For those who have never been, Pages Bar is on Page Street, London SW1P. Nearest tubes are Pimlico and Westminster and railway stations Charing Cross, Victoria and Waterloo are not far away. The No 88 bus, which you can pick up near Piccadilly Circus, goes right past the door. Any more ayes? cheers Steve Rogerson Redemption 99 - The Blakes 7/Babylon 5 convention 26-28 February 1999, Ashford International Hotel, Kent http://www.smof.com/redemption/ "The workers united will never be ignited" Guards!
