We know. You mentioned it in another thread.
I knew we'd be able to out you as an SF fan sooner or later."We know" – you make it sound as if you want to assimilate me.
Never did I say I didn't enjoy SF; but not the kind which takes itself too seriously and in turn is taken too seriously by its fans.

Is that sarcasm, Scott? I love Dr Who.
Ya, boo, sucks.

What exactly does Sky provide to people who really aren't that into sport...
More sport. Then there is the Second World War Channel and the Cute Animals Doing Amazing Things channel.

I miss albums, double albums with gatefold sleeves, booklets and Artwork. I also miss having to take care of things: vinyl records and stylus cartridges. And I miss listening to music, in a chair, with speakers separated and angled for perfect sound forever; listening to entire albums rather than hearing random downloaded tracks on somebody's iPod.
Music used to be really impotant because it was expensive and difficult and rare. Now it is just another digital commodity.
And I am getting older.

Because the underlying mechanism of the distressing symptoms isn't properly understood, some Skeptics decided that it was therefore an hysterical affliction or a silly name for "cramp".
And I thought my inability to write with a pen for more than five minutes meant something was wrong.
The trouble with the Skeptics is that they are just as dogmatic as the Believers. They are authoritarians, who won't entertain any idea unless somebody important tells them to believe it.

I suppose I should confess before I am outed by some long-forgotten school chum, but I too was a teenage Yes fan. I bought the albums, had the Roger Dean posters on my wall, wore cheescloth shirts and beads, talked rubbish. Then along came the Buzzcocks and everything changed.
But some years later, when I was old enough to know better, I saw Yes at the Wembley Arena, on the 90125 album tour. They were very good; really.

Farrah Fawcett has died. Of course her death will be overshadowed by Jackson's, which is a shame.

That was a difficult post to read, but very rewarding.
I am glad you back to a wine-drinking standard of health.

It is not really about Rankin. She is perfectly entitled to her silly opinions and to run her silly trust. It is about the Government that appointed her to the Commission knowing those opinions and which now finds itself rather confused that she is voicing them.

The impression is that at least a few of them had already made up their minds and had ceased paying attention to the trial and were just killing time, so to speak.
After Bain's release by the Privy Council decision, one would have been forgiven for thinking that he had been proven innocent, such was the media response. Bain's team were at pains to reinforce this impression and imply that the trial was no more than another burden for an innocent man. Bain's QC sought to give the impression to the jury that the trial was an injustice and the Court was unfair, so much so that other lawyers were appalled by his behaviour. It is no wonder that some of the jurors lost interest: they no doubt formed the impression that there time was being wasted by an unjust legal system.
