That was the title of the novelisation. The TV title was Spearhead From
Space (The Silurians novelisation was called The Cave Monsters)

As far as I'm concerned, neither haver been spitting acid, only some of the
dumbest and most *ignorant* things I ever read. I'm Australian. My fiance
is American. We're both ashamed of both sides.
That said, I'm interested in B7 - that's why I'm on the list. If the thread
gets off topic, I'm a bit impatient since it takes up precious time. But
when it not only gets off topic but starts spawning such /idiocy/, I'm
disgusted.
Stick to B7, the one thing we all love? Please?
Katrina.
PS: If anyone give the university of Sydney one /iota/ of cerdit for my
opinions, they're giving it to the wrong people. My parents taught me a
million times more than the education system.

Hi there:
I'm subscribing again after a couple of months off. This time, I've
done what I should have done ages ago and sorted myself out with a
private account, so I don't have to keep being rude and signing on and
off.
While I've been gone, I've put some Blake's material up on my web page.
As everything else seems to have been done before, I thought I'd expound
on my pet theory, which is that Blake has a great deal in common with
Hamlet. To prove that this isn't just me trying to link my two
favourite characters, I've put a few parallel quotes up in a table.
Anyone who wants to take a look can check out
http://www.amsta.leeds.ac.uk/~rob/Blakes/index.html. Feedback, --
especially disagreement -- will be more than welcome!
Anyway, has anything interesting been happening on the list these past
months?
Cheers,
Rob Clother

shit- that was me in dumb mode, would you belive I've been a Doctor Who fan
since I was four? :-/ (they eventully changed the title of the Silurians
back, for the edition with the McCoy logo).

Edith wrote about an extremely intriguing story she was planning (is it
going to be completely different tellings of the same events, like the
Japanese film Rashomon?):

The first time I heard of Medusa, I was told that she was the most
beautiful woman in the world and was punished for her sin by having her
hair turned into snakes. Most of the versions I have heard since insist
that the horror derived from hideous ugliness. This is a shame, because it
was the horror of beauty framed by snakes that gripped me. So I'm glad
Edith has mentioned the possibility that she was too beautiful to bear.

My feelings too - the list has brought me a lot of happiness. It has
occurred to me in the past couple of days that flaming is very like spam,
only instead of irritating it is distressing, because our friends are
writing it. Please don't, anyone. Sorry to sound pious.

Edith <grin>, that's not dysfunctional behaviour, that's normal.
In fact, I must thank you as you've just helped a lot by presenting a
way of viewing the situation - as a Christmas get-together of the
rellies where Aunty Sarah and Aunty Lindley, both of whom are nice
enough at other times, have a bit too much punch and then climb onto
their personal hobbyhorses. If one of the junior members of the family
(me, for instance) accidentally adds fuel to the fire, then she/he will
just have to put it down as yet another lesson in the necessity of tact
and diplomacy. Particularly as the family patriarch (Hello Calle, Happy
Birthday to your goddess of music for Thursday) has indicated that his
patience has been severely tried.
The answer, for me at least, is to take a few deep breaths and go and
put on one's favourite Blake's 7 episode on the video. I wish that I
could take my own advice, but those episodes I do own are one hundred
miles away at home, which is where I won't be until the weekend.
However, my brother has plans for then to cull the number of episodes of
"Pie in the Sky" we taped when the ABC repeated the series recently. I
think you can guess which two episodes <smile> are staying.
Regards
Joanne (who wants to be home on Thursday for her own birthday but can't,
so please be patient with me)

Heehee - I have those two myself :-) Except that I'm missing the first five
mins or so of SP's ep :-( Ah, well, at least PD's all present and correct.

Egad! Is it birthday season or something? My own is next Monday (day before
the Queen Mother, I think), and two of my colleagues are also having
birthdays within the next couple of weeks. And all of my immediate family
wind over the odometer within July-August.
Hmmm. What is it about November-December, anyway?

Maybe its more to do with the fact that Leos are beings of impeccable good
taste (my birthday is next Sunday) and that's why there are a few on this
list! :-p

[Jacqueline Thijsen] Probably those long dark evenings. I know of one very small town where every year they get about 8 or 9 new kids at school. One year there was a power failure that lasted for several hours and now they have 22 new entries. ;-)

Nicola's posting from NZ, where the nights are pretty short in December.
(I'm working in England with the British Antarctic Survey, so this sort of
thing is a source of frequent confusion for me.)

Hi guys... an old Corgi Liberator model has recently come into my
possession, and since I already have one I'd like to auction this one by
email.
It's in fair condition, though the plastic casing around the green bulb has
cracked. Postage would be added on top of the successful bid. Get your
initial bid to me at parallax@wire.net.au by 7th August.
