Despite losing interest afer it's first two seasons - coupled with the poor quailty TNG-retread that was Voyager - I will tune into see this finale when it hits the UK.

Hopefully TIIC at Paramount will give Trek a good long break and have a good look around at the quality shows of new Battlestar Galactica, FireFly and any other new quality sci-fi before releasing a new series.

Cheers for the heads-up JediSage, I probably wouldn't have realised they'd have done the series finale yet if it weren't for this.

cheers m8 - have looked there earlier, though the one I'm after is an amalgamation of those Faces covers - has the Vader (ANH) on the top third, Stormtrooper (ESB) in the middle third, and Yoda (ROJ) on the lower third on the front dvd cover.

Have seen one that was for a 'making of special', though it's the 3disc set cover I'm after.

I'm sure I've seen it around somewhere - just can't remember where...

A doctor of psychology was doing his normal morning rounds when he entered a patient's room. He found Patient #1 sitting on the floor, pretending to saw a piece of wood in half.

Patient #2 was hanging from the ceiling, by his feet.

The doctor asked patient #1 what he was doing. The patient replied,

"Can't you see I'm sawing this piece of wood in half?"

The doctor inquired of Patient #1 what Patient #2 was doing. Patient #1 replied,

"Oh. He's my friend, but he's a little crazy. He thinks he's a lightbulb."

The doctor looks up and notices Patient #2's face is going all red.

The doctor asks Patient #1, "If he's your friend, you should get him down from there before he hurts himself"

Patient #1 replies,

"What? And work in the dark?"

In a train carriage there was an Englishman, a Frenchman, a spectacular looking blonde and a frightfully awful looking fat lady. After several minutes of the trip the train happens to pass through a dark tunnel, and the unmistakable sound of a slap is heard. When they leave the tunnel, the Frenchman had a big red slap mark on his cheek.

The blonde thought - "That French son of a bitch wanted to touch me
and by mistake, he must have put his hand on the fat lady, who in
turn must have slapped his face"

The fat lady thought - "This dirty old Frenchman laid his hands on
the blonde and she smacked him".

The Frenchman thought - "That f---ing Englishman put his hand on that
blonde and by mistake she slapped me".

The Englishman thought - "I hope there's another tunnel soon so I can
smack that French pratt again."

A Catholics daughter had not been to the house for over 5 years. Upon her return, her father cussed her,

"Where the hell have you been all this time, you ingrate! Why didn't you write us, not even a line to let us know how you were doing? Why didn't you call? You little tramp! Don't you know what you put your Mum through??!!"

The girl, crying, replied, "Sniff, sniff... Dad... I became a
prostitute..."

"WHAT!!? Out of here, you shameless harlot! Sinner! You're a
disgrace to this family - I don't ever want to see you again!"

"OK, Dad - as you wish. I just came back to give Mum this luxury fur coat, title deeds to a ten bed-roomed mansion, plus a savings account certificate for £5 million. For my little brother this gold Rolex, and for you Daddy the spanking new Mercedes limited edition convertible that's parked outside plus a lifetime
membership to the Country Club...(takes a breath)...an invitation for you all to spend New Years' Eve on board my new yacht in the Riviera, and...."

"Now what was it you said you had become?" asks her dad

Girl, crying again, "Sniff, sniff... A prostitute Dad! ... Sniff, sniff"

"Oh! Be Jesus! - you scared me half to death, girl! I thought you said "a Protestant". Come here and give your old man a hug!"

A bit of British toilet humour:-

An old man and his wife have gone to bed. After lying there for a few minutes the old man farts and shouts, "Goal!" His wife rolls over and asks, "what in the world was that?" The old man says "Goal! I'm ahead 1-0." A few minutes later the wife lets one go and shouts, "Goal! 1-1!" After another 10 minutes, the old man farts again. "Goal! 2-1!" The wife quickly drops another and, starting to enjoy herself, shouts, "2-2!" Not to be outdone, the old man strains as hard as he can to squeeze out the winning fart. Unfortunately he tries just a little too hard and shits the bed. The wife asks, "Now what in the world was that?" "Half time," replies the old man. "Switch sides..."

A woman decides that she's had it with trying to find a decent man in a bar. So she takes out an ad in the paper that says she is seeking a mate who is loyal, rich and a good lover.

After a few days, her doorbell rings. She opens the door and sees a man in a wheelchair with no arms and no legs.

He says, "I'm here about your ad."
Momentarily taken aback, she says, "Well, how do I know you're loyal?"
"Well, I saved my platoon from the Iraqis in the Gulf. That's where I lost my arms and legs," he replies.
"Well, how do I know you're rich?" she inquires.
"I make over $3 million a year. I have my own software company. You can look at my bank statement," he continues.

Looking him over in his wheelchair, she demands, "Well, how do I know you're a good lover?"
He shrugs, "I rang the doorbell, didn't I?"

An American is having breakfast one morning (coffee, croissants, bread, butter and jam) when a Frenchman, chewing bubble-gum, sits down next to him. The American ignores the Frenchman who, nevertheless, starts a conversation.

Frenchman: "You American folk eat the whole bread??"

American (in a bad mood): "Of course."

Frenchman: (after blowing a huge bubble) "We don't. In France, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a container, recycle it, transform them into croissants and sell them to the states." The Frenchman has a smirk on his face. The American listens in silence.

The Frenchman persists: "Do you eat jam with the bread??"

American: "Of Course."

Frenchman: (cracking his bubble-gum between his teeth and chuckling). "We don't. In France we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we put all the peels, seeds, and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell the jam to the states."

After a moment of silence, The American then asks: "Do you have sex in France?"

Frenchman: "Why of course we do", he says with a big smirk.

American: "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"

Frenchman: "We throw them away, of course."

American: "We don't. In America, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into bubble-gum and sell them to France."

cheers lads, am feeling stronger and better as a whole after a very restful weekend.

I think when I get my mouth and nose sorted out at the specialists that'd be a major boost - breathing easy and eating without pain are very underrated things IMHO

The other injuries hardly bother me at all now (still being careful, but not as painful as before).

It should be interesting to meet the driver, or hear his account of what happened. I've been told there were a fair few witnesses to the accident - so most peoples' accounts should be very similar to each others. The Police closed the road straight after and did all sorts of tests and evidence marking etc

I hope the driver tells the truth, and this all gets settled quickly. Just want to get, and feel better again - it's gonna take some time, but at least I have some.

cheers ric

The driver did stop and the Police have questioned him and are continuing their investigation - there were loads of witnesses about apparently.

I was in and out of conciousness until I was taken away by the ambulance - it seemed like an eternity. What I do remember is a bloke (the driver of the car) telling the paramedic he was travelling at 45mph - I think it was because it was probably important for the paramedic/doctors to know exactly what had happened to me.

Did have very strange mixed feelings on Tuesday evening - I was watching the Liverpool vs Chelsea game from my hospital bed instead of watching it at the stands of Anfield. On one hand I was gutted on missing out on attending such a fantastic occassion and match - the other realising I was lucky to be still here surrounded by so many others in hospital that may not be here much longer...

Other thoughts entered my head too - maybe it WAS lucky that I got hit and NOT a young woman with her child in the pram that safely crossed the same road only minutes earlier. I'm young, still fit(ish) and strong - horrifies me what to think that idiot driver could have done to her and her kid, or an old age pensioner, or the 100's of kids from school that would've used that crossing only an hour later etc

All maybe's, but it's made me realise I got lucky - tomorrow I think I'll get my missus to buy a lottery ticket and see if my good luck is still wth me...


As for the driver - I hope the least that happens is that he loses his driving license.

Good luck / Bad luck?

Depending upon how I feel my luck changed somewhat on Friday afternoon last week.

I was run over crossing the road at a pelican crossing (traffic light crossing in the UK) - the lights were on red - by a car doing 45mph - 15mph over the speed limit.

I never saw what hit me, as a bus which had stopped at the crossing to let me across, obsured my view of the car who next to it, who had decided to ignore the law, common sense and any respect for the lives of others and made his own road lane.

The next thing I remember is being being lifted into the ambulance - around 20yards away from the pelican crossing, with some bloke (the driver) of the car that hit me) telling the paramedic that he was only doing 45mph and that I had come out of nowhere and he couldn't see me unitil it was too late.

Today I have been released by the hospital to go back home - along with a broken leg, 3 fractrured ribs, 7 fractures in my shoulder (inluding a brokn clavical), 5 missing teeth, a new weird looking nose, stitches in my mouth, around my mouth, several lacerations, bruises and cuts and a lot of pain.

good luck for me? yes - I'm still alive
bad luck for the driver who hit me? i hope so
