Another pair of very human Federation soldiers, about to get butchered. It's what they're paid for. Spoken like a true President. |

Alan Lake obviously had a good time playing Chel. One day I'm going to get that beach and run along it like a mad horse.  Is it Bamburgh? Yes. Grace Darling territory. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Hello. Here on time for once. I'm in the middle of a very complicated job application, so nice to have some Blake's 7 to start the day off with. I like this episode too - and it definitely ends on a high note . Plus, it's where I started watching as a teenager, so there's a sort of relaxing into familiarity.Hi AnneA. Job applications are not a fun thing to do. Some B7 ought to help ease you into the day. This one wants a teaching plan, a research proposal, a video of me teaching, and a statement of how I will align with the values of Durham University (I've never known a university do that before, although I'm told that it's normal for companies) - basically, the moon on a stick. Hope your preparations for Europe are going well. Durham's a great place. Did a Summer School there once. They're just trying to weed out the less serious applicants, I expect. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Avon looks exhausted. Great acting, or a late night?

But everything is run as a business now because unis are run by bean counters with endless MBAs. They really only want to know how you are going to make them money, so you have to stress how your brilliance will bring in countless fee-paying students. Postgraduates are the preference because unis get more for them. It's why everyone these days has a PhD: unis get paid more for them. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

What have they done to the seam on Her frock? It's almost diagonal.

I've decided that the diagonal seam is something to do with how the fabric hangs. Makes it look like there's more than there is, and it's all floaty (technical term). "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Have to go there so that I can provide further proof to a friend that there are sand beaches in the UK. Photographed a few for her last year. Honestly! Who does she think invented buckets and spades? Australians? Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.

Less disco, more song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T50U_...GXfz1CU4Zc He was a bit early for disco. Eddie Grant is also from Guyana. Unless it's the only name there, maybe he is related to Cy. Interestingly, his wife's name is Ann... That Grant name. Don't philosophise at me you electronic moron.
