Off they go into the sunset, as it were. OK, time I did something constructive, I suppose. Bedtime for Tyce - sleep well! Bye, Anne. Hope this week brings better news - and some income! Bye Virn, have a great day. |

Well, there is no Blake's 7 episode without its moments, but that was a definite downturn in quality. And next week we have another rather risible alien villain. I won't be here (provided I can get the funds together, of course), but I'll hopefully be back for the much more enjoyable Death Watch. Have a good week, everyone. Thinking of you Anne Arthur, I hope things work out. Thank you! |

Trevor Hoyle as the opposite of Tanith Lee? What an interesting idea. Hoyle's writing was about facts and twists and throwing people off the scent. Whereas Lee was about the scent, and who wore it, and how it affected everyone... Any thoughts, Travisina? (I know you'll read this eventually!) "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Hi everyone, Sorry-not-sorry to have missed Ultraworld - not one of my fave eps, for reasons mentioned by others in the thread. But sorry to have missed the company and the chat. I won't be able to join you next Saturday either, because (drum roll, @Tyce) I'm going into London to see the matinee of ABBA: Voyage! Super excited about that  I'll start the thread for Moloch (oh dear, what a shame, I'm missing one of my least fave eps  )Hope everyone has a good week!

Just not long seen Moloch & same here one of my least favorite eps still liked Servalan's outfit as I love all she wears & Dayna as well. Catch you all next week. Hope Anne your issues will be resolved. Good luck. Cheers all. Australia

Just reading this Sunday, sorry not to have been here for the rewatch. AnneArthur, how awful for you! Don't you have contracts to which you can hold these people accountable? Even with government jobs here, I've known it to be standard practice for them to take more than the stated 30-day period to pay people, but to have somewhere argue down the amount they are paying you is shocking. And let's hope these latest potential employers show some conscience and give you the job. Don't you have some sort of fair work ombudsman there? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

I love that comparison I love it too MsVirn. I think it's male/female contrast, something I've encountered in archaeological interpretation. Women look at things differently and I think you've described that difference perfectly. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

And let's hope these latest potential employers show some conscience and give you the job. Don't you have some sort of fair work ombudsman there? It has sorted itself out a bit now. Keele still haven't paid us, and now can't till the end of this month - we are all very angry about that. The problem seems to be trying to economize on administration, which has left a lot of junior administrators who don't know what they are doing trying to cover all bases at once and failing miserably. This, sadly, is only too believable in terms of the way UK universities are run. Durham, apparently, were not querying the £800 - they thought they had already paid me that. I have shown them that they haven't, and I will get it eventually, but it has to go through payroll, which means a wait. They have, however, paid me £400 as an advance for work I am going to do for them but haven't done yet. So, to recap, I still haven't been paid for the work I have done, but have been paid for work I haven't done! Makes sense. Still, I am going to stay with a friend on Friday, and at least I can now cover the trip. Thanks for your concern. I'll miss Moloch, which doesn't actually bother me that much, but hope to see you again for Deathwatch. |
