Have you noticed the poor folks have pretty much had to change the name of their sect to "The Brethren-not-the-exclusive-kind-the-other-ones-[...]"
FWIW, they've always referred to themselves as the Open Brethren, I assume to distinguish from the EB. I lived in a brethren-managed hostel for a year at university, perfectly normal happy clappy church group.
Personal preference: I always pronounce "pwned" as owned, and "teh" as tay.
As for word of the year, "blogger" in its new context as a political slur. I reckon it could really take off.

The last is a BBR arts programme which had all sorts of odd things in it like pictures drawing themselves, and a furry that lived in a grandfather clock that would occasionally zip around the set.
..ah! "Vision On", perhaps? That was definitely a favourite of mine, although at that age I was a little confused at the lack of talking (heh, it was targetted at deaf kids). The program name was written in cursive and mirrored to make the Vision On bug.
I was a BIG tomorrow people fan; now I know it's on DVD I can tell my parents what I want for Christmas! I thought Stephen was really hot, and I wanted to dress like them. I also second Logan's Run and Sapphire & Steel, although the latter got very samey after the first couple of stories.
I suspect I'd find Children of the Dog Star a bit boring now; I think even when I watched it, I was just hanging out to see that thing on the barn start moving. Also, the theme tune was great.
Blake's 7: I liked it when I was a kid, but I saw a couple of the old episodes a few years ago, and a lot of the storyline must've really sailed over my head. For example, how many people remember that Blake was actually framed as a paedophile by the federation, who planted fake memories in the heads of his supposed victims?
ALSO: Space 1999!
