Would it be too much to ask to provide a name for some of these links for those of us too busy who couldn't be arsed to click on the links?

I'm not giving up anything. I can be a hypocrite regardless.

Interview in the Independent. Reveals his name is actually Harry!

Depends on what you mean by good? It's pretty dated now (as is any television from the 1970s) both in look and feel (all this dystopian worldview is very much of it's time). However, I've got the first series on DVD and I enjoyed it (I'm only old enough to remember when it had Avon as the leader not Blake and subsequently being confused by the title!) and I hope to get the second series in the not too distant future... I'll give it a go then. Also, I think you'll find that the first series is up on youtube. I started watching it last Sunday and now I'm up to Series 1 Episode 7. I think it's brilliant. I love the downbeat tetchiness and the strong characterisation. I agree that the special-effects are very, very dated but if you can get past that there is a lot there.The politics are quite complicated too. The only small problem I've got is that I already know what happens at the very end from having seen it on lots of clip shows.But even that is not a problem because the characters are so interesting that you want to see how they get there and what happens along the way. I highly recommend it and I'm usually only a mild sci-fi fan. Avon's cool, isn't he? Back in the day, one of my login names was Orac. Now he was really cool.

How's your Latin?

Do you not know about Google*? I find it a really useful resource.. *Other search engines are available.

Michael 'Kevin Webster' Le Vell charged with child sex offences.

The blue/green-screen pioneer (allowing images to be superimposed) Petro Vlahos has died aged 96.

Jungleyes Love, the old-Harrovian hippie/eccentric has died aged 56. Not even on the fringes of fame perhaps, but famous enough for a Daily Telegraph obit, which contains such gems as and

That report is nearly a year old you twat.

And Harry Redknapp has already been linked with the job in Rome...

i think we should have a thread for Protestant clerics *ducks*

Give it a week, you'll be posting OMG OMG etc. just to save a few characters.

Yes, but there's no BBC obit, ergo, he's still alive.

In the spirit of openness, I confess to a not-overly-impressive 10/14. In my defence, we never had formal grammar lessons at my (comprehensive) school - and it was a long time ago now.

Would that work the other way around, as in: if I don't get a BBC obit I won't die? regards, Hein Well I've never had a BBC obit and I haven't died.

We need 3 volunteers...

Year 6 pupils will shortly be taking a National Test in grammar, punctuation and spelling. See how you do! Anyone achieving 100% correct can award themselves the (virtual) honez Memorial Trophy.

Jake LaMotta, seeing as how everyone's attention has been on Ali.

Its 30 years today since Karen Carpenter died.

I think he means me. I posted that "talking to oneself in public" remark as a reply to four posts from the same IP address. How that makes me a Nazi bastard I fail to understand. I think I'll order one of my agents to call that number. Sieg, Hein Then again, you aren't an immature 13 year-old.

Can anyone make any sense out of this? George Orwell would be proud.
