Just finished watching a documentary called "Heckled" and George Lucas was on it briefly. He said "There are two kinds of people in the world; there are creators and there are destroyers, and I prefer to align myself with the creators because I think they bring something positive to society."

I think know he's a bit of both. ;)

...On Christmas Eve I got a call from the better half telling me the water had gone off.

He had called a plumber who suggested trying the thaw out the pipe with an hair dryer and since we don't have such a device he had popped over to next door to borrow one.

 

 

...I do hope it doesn't snow again.

I don't normally wander in here, but I've just read a few of the latest additions, and sympathise with your Christmas drama Bingowings, as it must have been a real hassle at the time.  I didn't realise till now that you were actually...a gal!  ...unless I've somehow managed to pick up the wrong end of the stick, lol.  Anyway, I agree that it will be good to see the back of the snow here in Scotland.  I'm sick of thinking I've been stranded on 'Hoth'!

Good Find!  The unseen sister 'Booba Fette', obviously.

 

Anyway, I just wanted to flag up the fact that the Fanedit.org site seems to have been given a nice overhaul since the start of the year, since I last checked in there a few months ago.  The team have done a good job since Boon decided to give up the reigns last year, sometime.

It's good to see that you only need a single password to register and get onto the Faneditforums there now, as you used to require a seperate password to access those.  However, just in case you're not aware yet, any previous members will need to re-register with Fanedit.org now, since this upgrade to the site.

There's a host of new changes and topics to read through, but just to let anyone here know easily, without searching around...once you've re-registered, you can then re-upload your previous 'avatar' by going to Settings at the top of the homepage, then go to My Settings on the left of the page that comes up, then click on Edit Avatar beneath.  Or if you can't find your original 'avatar' pic to do so, you can contact the site directly for them to re-upload it for you from their end.

And you can pick up from any topics you left off in the past, by going to My Profile, then Find all posts on the left of the page that comes up.  Which will come in handy for me...  :)

 

*BREAKING NEWS* - just as I've typed this, Gerry Anderson has given a news item about a set of stamps that the UK Post Office is producing, which mark some of the various shows he's been involved in.  Well he's just said that he is officially involved with an all-new 'Thunderbirds' show, that's coming.  Great stuff!

Wrong thread again!!! :p

Yeah, I see you pretty much derailed that thread a few posts in and turned it into an Ackbar picture thread instead of what the original poster intended it for.

Aw, snap.

I did so with the original poster's blessing.

Well, it is a fun thread. Maybe I'm just annoyed because I can't think of any misconceptions I had with the movies. :p Other things, yes, but I can only think of a couple of examples from pictures.

RATHER rather nice! I'm looking into that now.

Update: I tried ordering the presentation pack, but to do so, I need to register. When I try to register, it won't let me get beyond the general info section because my phone number doesn't look like a UK number. :p Stupid site... I'm going to have to ask them how to get around that.

Update: I wrote up something to ask what I'm supposed to do about the phone number, and when I try to send my form, it won't recognize my postal code either! Apparently no one outside the UK is allowed to ask them a question! What a colossal waste of time this has been! >:-(
