Cold Ale - The Blokes' Thread!

[Scheherazade]

Hoss was my hero!

Until he croaked, then I stopped watching it. Once Michael Landon was the only son left I couldn't take any more.

I vaguely remember those later developments. By that time I had discovered sci-fi shows, I think. "Star Trek", "Space 1999" and later on "Galactica".

[jocky]

Athiest, see how everyone always goes on about Hoss and Little Joe, but what about Adam? I know, what about Him? Lorne Greene was good as well in the immortal role of Pa. So my old man used to tell me anyway. Scheherazade, your a bull****ter, if you remember Star Trek you must remember Blakes Seven, and the alzheimers defence wont wash! Limajean, stop with the lies, I saw you in the Queue for David Bowie and the spiders from mars tour, remember, it was pouring with rain and your lightening tatoo washed off

[Zee.]

Typical female?

I'm a bloody superhero!

[The Atheist]

Athiest, you will love this, just watched your compatriot Neil Young blowing Glastonbury away.

Eh?

Neil Young's a Canadian - I'm a Kiwi!

The world has lost three superstars this week, Farrah, David and my tortoise, Speedy.

I vaguely remember those later developments. By that time I had discovered sci-fi shows, I think. "Star Trek", "Space 1999" and later on "Galactica".

Ah, Space 1999. Barbara Bain. I used to watch that!

Athiest, see how everyone always goes on about Hoss and Little Joe, but what about Adam?

No question Adam was the star, and very cool with it. After he left, only Hoss kept it together.

Pernell Roberts unfortunately fell into the trap of thinking he was bigger than the show.

...Blakes Seven...

Worst sci-fi program ever. I could never understand why people watched such appallingly low production-value science fiction. By its nature, sci-fi ought to contain some actual sci-fi - not just a bunch of drongos whining in a badly-lit studio.

[Scheherazade]

Ah, Space 1999. Barbara Bain. I used to watch that!

Loved her in "Mission Impossible"... but what about Catherine Schell (Maya)? Used to dream of being a shape shifter like her.

Never watched that one, actually. Probably was not shown in my country.

Aen't you English? It was a BBC production.

[jocky]

Limajean, every woman is a superhero, or so my wife keeps telling me. Apparently there is a problem on Venus, if you all leave now you could get there in about three million lightyears, and you can make your way back in a leisurely style, stopping off at Harvey Nichols and Harrods on the way. Athiest, as to the Blakes Seven slur, seemingly it was filmed in New Zealand. Dont know if it was filmed on North Island or South Island, somehow, no one has any memory of this pioneering experiment in science fiction.

[Scheherazade]

Aen't you English? It was a BBC production.

Nope, not English.

[Virgil]

Aye!

That is one of the first shows I remember watching... That and the reruns of "Bonanza".

Really? How American.

Filmed here? I see no references for it, and I don't think they ever went outside, did they?

Nope, not English.

Ok. I thought you were in UK somewhere.

[prendrelemick]

Blake's seven was the Triangle of Sci-fi.

[Scheherazade]

Ok. I thought you were in UK somewhere.

I am somewhere in the UK just not from here.

[jocky]

I knew it was a big mistake to start the Blakes Seven discussion! Athiest, forgive me for the Canada error, that was a bad mistake on my part. Scheherezade, stop playing the mystery woman, we all know you come from the Isle of Man. The topic for tomorrow, are women superior to Men? It is a scientific fact that their heads are are smaller than mens, therefore less room to hold brains.That should get it going. Comedian we are still waiting for the woodpile! Oh, and Prendrelmick, dee dee dee dee ,dee dee dee dee.

[The Atheist]

Good god! You mean some people live there by choice, and not just because they were born there?

The topic for tomorrow, are women superior to Men? It is a scientific fact that their heads are are smaller than mens, therefore less room to hold brains.That should get it going.

Too easy.

Just count Nobel Prize winners in sciences and let me know what percentage of them were women.

[Niamh]

It is also a scientific fact that women use both sides of their brains, while men only use one, women can concentrate on more than one thing at once and dont need to turn there heads to glance a someone passing them unlike our male counterparts.
