On the whole I preferred season one to season two, but I loved "I don't give a shit who Sarah Connor is"!

Much as I liked my 2254, it had the bezel you could not grip and the irritating helium valve.

This!
If you like tongue-in-cheek Space Opera SF you are in for a treat; I would recommend "Spatterjay" or "Gridlinked" as starting points in two book-series set in the same universe. The latter was an...
That price sounds about right; I bought my Pink Triangle PT1 in 1985 for £450 (£50 extra for rosewood) so the Sondek must have been £400 or so armless. Big pluses for me were that the it sounded...
Thanks! That is the line taken in Omega's Speedmaster book (just checked my copy) I guess the other story is one put about by R*lex fanboys ;-)
I seem to recall reading that Armstrong's Speedmaster's crystal popped off, so he left it in the LEM when he stepped out onto the surface.
I looked at the top part and thought "why's there a turkey on the dial?"
I used a Crumpler rucksack daily for about 20 years, commuting into London -- they don't make my particular model any more, but I would probably go to them if I needed a new one.

Sting.
The Police were great, (drums, bass, guitar) but I just endured his singing
All Them Witches -- Live at AB -- Ancient Belgique

You can also buy it on Bandcamp, so I class it as a live album!

In the interests of balance, here is my new(wish)-to-me white, non-cruiser type bike -- just after riding back from a two day trackday at the wonderful Cadwell Park. A very practical bike on the...
I'm all agog! Since John Cronin upped sticks from Huntingdon and moved to the Cotswolds, I have not been aware of any,,,

I am very sorry to read this, and wish you and your loved ones all the best. I have always enjoyed your posts and positive attitude. I am sure you'll enjoy Hawaii and will be back with some good...
I'll second the Alistair Reynolds "Revelation Space" series, plus "The Prefect + Elysium Fire" are good if you liked Asimov's 'science-fiction/detective' crossovers (much like Altered Carbon, for...
Plus one for Tim Powers -- The Drawing of the Dark is superb, and I love all of his other books.
A left-field suggestion is an author of children's books -- Alan Garner had a similar mastery of...

Just went for a checkup at the dentist, and was reminded of my unanswered question -- why are dentist's assistants uniformly gorgeous? My high street looks like 'World War Z', my dentist is a fat,...
I bought a flat in 1988 which was pretty much the peak (people buying before MIRAS was abolished) so I remember 3x annual salary, 15% mortgages, and then I sold it four years later for 58% of my...

I took one of the last 'examiner on foot' tests in King's Lynn back in 1989, and bought a Honda CBR600F secondhand off a friend -- this colour scheme (can't think why it was called a 'jelly mould'!)....
Try the "Revelation Space" series by Alastair, although it is a bit darker. Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon trilogy if you don't mind stylish ultra-violence. Neal Asher's books are tongue-in-cheek...
