Enjoyed it but that last race in Brazil (Episode 4) did drag a bit - no mention of that excellent Button win in Canada then I realised that was in 2011 when at McLaren doh! Getting old.

Looks like either south west / southern coasts of England or northern France could see exceptionally strong and damaging winds on Thursday - possible 90-100mph gusts in the English Channel with a deep area of Low pressure (~950mb)...still five days away mind but something to keep an eye on. More...

Well with shrinkflation and a large number of Stormtroopers they are going to need plenty of them...probably travelled to the last Tesco Galactic to get the final packs. Anyway on another note does anyone think the giant hyperspace ring is for Thawn's Star Destroyer? His ship had an in complete...

Indeed I was going to mention the similarity to Moff Tarkin as well...I quite like this reference or nod to the style from the original Episode IV and Rogue One...an air of gravitas with confident dialogue...of course there were other British actors playing Generals on the original Deathstar...

I am enjoying the series too - I think Grand Admiral Thawn's dialogue sounds a bit like Benedict Cumberbatch sometimes. Is the load on the ship some ancient weapon or power source that the witches (Mothers) know about? Also I'm blown away that Claudia Black from Farscape is one of the three...

From my own little joke book (don't know if these have been heard before) have many other bad pun jokes Counting the average number of toes in the whole country is no mean feat What did pastry chefs use in the 1980 to share recipes?...Filo-Fax Thanks to my girlfriend for helping me recover...

Always liked Spa - but then I did watch the drama in the late 1990s...if it is wet - could be very interesting :p been watching F1 since 1993

Perhaps...but then we've had no 3-5 day heatwaves with temperatures exceeding 25 Celsius and you would expect this in July...this prolonged repetitive cooler spell is odd.

Well what a difference a year makes... 40 Celsius a year ago and now we've had weeks of it only being around 20-22 Celsius (well down south) with some sun but with a more autumnal wet and windy pattern (welcome rain). I'm wondering if this will be one of the coolest Julys on record in the UK? I...

I think that particulates were the problem originally - from the emissions of coal fires and diesel engines (the black soot)...over the years London has moved away from these sources and the air much cleaner in that respect. Anyone remember when were told to buy diesel cars (circa. 2005) for the...

I got a black Lindy one for my Hi-Fi (for surge and to try to reduce electrical hum / feedback) but still use some old 8 plug Belkins - they did a really good hinged box one to hide cables and wall warts back in the day.

Wall-E is a great set and even more fun when you motorize it and add a remote control...the neck was a problem when it first came out and Lego developed a fix to strengthen it.

I thought the season ended last week - was surprised to see another episode and another next week. I've seen some posts so attempting to answer / expand.

I'm quite enjoying Season 3 and the expansion of the Mandalorians as a culture - I also feel that the seeds of the First Order are being sown in the background.

Always owned Texas Instruments calculators - I had one that my nan got me for my birthday in the 1990s (TI-80) which was cool and did quadratic equations/graphs and some really advanced maths stuff, but it disappeared during my exams as it may have been deemed OTT or advantageous or basically...

In DS9 The Changelings used the Jem'Hadar as drug addicted soldiers, so I wonder if they are again just a modified/future version in appearance even though they are Changelings themselves :confused:

'I'm not a member of the Eastern Coalition!' :eek: :D

DS9 like TNG had a difficult IMO first two seasons. The beginnings of what was to come in DS9 happen in Season 3 with hints and talk of the Dominion regarding the Gamma Quadrant. Things ramp up in Season 4. There are some really great episodes and plots involving Garak (a simple tailor) with...

Season 3 is making me overthink and ask questions. I beginning to wonder how the Changelings have managed to retain their solid appearance to the inside as well - right down to blood and organs. Perhaps when Odo re-joined the Great Link did they over time improve what he had learnt/experienced -...
