Saturday is the only day I try NOT to do any work, but it happens anyway. Sometimes I then forget what it is I think I have to do... Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Even for an alien - and if it could take over all her other functions, why not the voice? Edited by M1795537OCVirn on 26-08-2023 10:19 "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Distorted and echoey becaue it's coming from a long way away/inside... yes, but I still find it an ugly noise that makes me want to not hear it. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Alpha Grade Posts: 8718 Joined: 16.01.22	I think one thing I like about Tanith Lee episodes is that they have a rather oblique take on relationships between the characters - drawing on what's there already (like Cally's unrequited love for Avon, here), and expanding it in interesting ways.
