Still, the memories.

This remains the ultimate scaler-upper: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/tarkadal_90055 I could cope with having a freezer just full of that and rotis/parathas. Big risk of a Stevie special if you adopt a lentil-only diet though, I suppose.

To go up to a person in the street you'd have to leave your bedroom at your mam's house.

It was just a bit of willy waving.

Even Mr Brexit thinks we're bollocksing it up. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/magazine/peering-over-the-cliff-edge-why-dominic-cummings-fears-brexit-will-fail

Except to the right-wing press, who'll keep dividing the country with their anti-EU rhetoric for as long as we're paying a single penny to those dirty foreigners.

As the Stadium of Light might have been renamed if things had gone very differently.

Assume makes an ass out of u and ur duck pizza.

Imagine thinking that isolating yourself from your nearest neighbours is anti-isolationist.

Frick that soccer ball

Thus: So glad we took back control of everything.

Bit breezy on Barbuda lately, but at least their washing will have dried quickly. Think positive!

Their scenes slow everything down so far, but the plot has potential. I realise it's a massively nerdy point but I actually think the choice of subtitle font - Extremely Portentous Game Of Planets Lettering - doesn't help.

Maybe the season finale will be the Klingons breaking everything and sending us back to the Stone Age.

The reasons why that technology doesn't/won't/can't exist in future iterations are obviously going to be central to the plot of the thing though. Fair point about the replicators, don't know how commonplace they were on the original series (for food yes, I guess? but presumably not for magicking up actual things like you get in the later-made series). Such are the perils of prequels, I suppose.

I haven't really seen much of the original series. Is the tech properly ahead or is it just that it's made of CGI not cardboard?

But post Enterprise.

It's pre both.

Fanny flapping.

Still broadly undecided on the new Star Trek. It looks beautiful but some of it really drags, plus they've blatantly nicked their swizzy new technobabble drive system from Douglas Adams.

I see the Maybot is actively preparing for a no-deal exit now. Good thing you can trust the Tories on the economy.
