Let's wait and see just what is going to be on these discs - a capture from the 1993 laserdiscs, or a hybrid of a couple of releases etc, a suped-up OCP set?


Am expecting 'George Lucas' to start his own thread in the 'Preservation Section' shortly - though probably won't be telling us exactly how he made this set - and he may get short shrift if he starts asking for money for them...

A man breaks down on the motorway in his 3-wheeled Reliant Robin. Just then a fella in a Lamborghini passes and stops to help. "I'll give you a tow to the next garage" says the man, "but if i'm going too fast for you, just flash your lights and I'll slow down"

So off they go, the Reliant in tow.

They're driving along, when a Ferrari whizzes past, doing 150mph.

The Lamborghini driver decides to pose, and race the Ferrari, and proceeds to put his foot down.

A mile down the road, a policeman on his motorbike radio's through to his colleague. "You won't believe what I've just seen. A Ferrari doing 150mph and a Lamborghini racing beside him also doing 150mph.

Whats so great bout that?" asks the colleague

"Well," says the copper "There's a Reliant Robin also doing 150mph, flashing his lights, trying to overtake..."

What a shit job. But because I knew it was only for a few weeks, I didn't really care about it.

But I eventually got the sack for spraying glue into my eyes. I was so bored I made a little tube out of stickers that were lying around, and stuck them in the nozzle of the spray glue. Then for some reason I sprayed it into my eyes. Yep, I nearly went blind, and they fired me. Well, I suppose it didn't help that I kept taking the piss out of the mongs who worked there. But man, what a shit job.



That's one to save for the grandkids mate...

Got fired from a plastics company many, many years ago for telling my boss to fuck off and that if he was going to carry on trying to physically intimidate me and spread lies about my 'appalling behaviour and attitude' to fellow workmates that I'd simply prove him wrong by phoning for ambulance right then to take him to hospital for after I'd finished with him.

Not proud of my actions - but at the time it was the only thing I could think of to end a fairly miserable time working with him. I suppose in the end he was right about my bad attitude - in the end.

Emotionally I was a rollercoster for a couple of weeks after - did knock my confidence a little - but got over it soon after.


Chin up, Invader Jenny - 'tis just a job after all - only a small part of life, and possibly a job you may not even remember in a few weeks...

There's a few 'Niners and Trek fans on here - somewhere on here... honest! lol

I can only recommend you get the excellent DS9 Companion book (if you've not got it already) - full of insights and rare pics, an episode guide, and how the people who made the show truely felt about certain episodes - good and bad.

A very intriguing read... and will give you answers as to why the Klingons featured so heavily in season 4.

Prsonally, I'm glad the Borg never showed up on DS9 - they were a TNG 'baddie', and used well for that series - and found the Dominion storylines were a lot more interesting all round.

Jacques Chirac, The French President, is sitting in his office when his telephone rings.

"Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy Down at the Harp Pub in County Clare, Ireland. I am ringing to inform you that we are officially declaring war on you!"

"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

"Right now," says Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is myself, me Cousin Sean, me next door neighbour Seamus, and the entire darts team from the pub. That makes eight!"

Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100,000 men in my army waiting to move on my command."

"Begorra!" says Paddy. "I'll have to ring you back."

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy calls again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"

"And what equipment would that be Paddy?" Chirac asks.

"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor."

Chirac sighs amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I have increased my army to 150,000 since we last spoke."

"Saints preserve us!" says Paddy. "I'll have to get back to you."

Sure enough, Paddy rings again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We have modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Bar have joined us as well!"

Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military bases are surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I have increased my army to 200,000!"

"Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!" says Paddy, "I will have to ring you back."

Sure enough, Paddy calls again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr. Chirac! I am sorry to inform you that we have had to call off the war."

"Really? I am sorry to hear that," says Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

"Well," says Paddy, "we had a long chat over a few pints of Guinness, and decided there is no fookin' way we can feed 200,000 prisoners."

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:-


Bonus Question:

Is Hell exothermic (it gives off heat) or endothermic (it absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some similar variant.


One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave.
Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay
the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and
pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa - a classmate - during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day
in Hell before I sleep with you", and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"

Broadband for the UK'ers out there - Advice!

G'day m8

I have wireless telewest broadband (about 512kb) - 'tis ok even on my ancient laptop and does the job. Haven't had a problem with it yet, and together with the Telewest 3 for £30 package (+ telephone line rental and a basicish cable tv package) is ok for me. Think it is still unlimted use of downloads.

The old man-in-law has BT Broadband - a Voyager 105 modem - 2.2mb - very quick, easy to use, and was most impressed with it. Does need a BT phone landline though. Not sure how much he pays monthly for it though - or if there is a limit on the downloads.
