andrewduckerI have a thing for strong, controlling women who know what they want, are self-reliant, intelligent and don't take shit from anyone.
On reflection, this is all Servalan's fault.
I hope to god this means nothing at all to most of you.

I work Chambers Street. Am hopeless at knowing places to drink in town - all big noisy pick up barns. Um. Devoid ideas. Er...
Why aren't you normally a pub person? What about the Elephant House on george IV Bridge - it's a cafe but they do wine?

And of course I've got Princess Mononoke. Which reminds me, must go see Spirited Away.
And I have a video night every week with a few friends. It's Guy's turn to choose this week and the useless bastard hasn't told me what he's chosen yet, tho.

I program.
In COBOL.
You may now commence with the running and the screaming.

Actually my pal Ken made a packet knowing COBOL when the Millennium Bug hit - he had to re program the entire Inland Revenue, more or less.
it could happen to you :)

Maybe it was that plunging necklne, maybe it was cos she always looked like the ultimate sexual predator and she was gonna pounce on Travis any second but I was always mesmerised by her.
Still, I am over that now, aren't I?

Date: 2003-09-22 02:41 pm (UTC)Sadly, yes, this means quite a lot to me. Not only are some of my earliest tv memories about Blake's 7, but i've also met most of the cast.
Including the lovely, but mad as a bag of squirrels, Supreme Commander herself. She came up to see our local sci-fi group in Edinburgh. In November. And forgot to bring a coat...
But she rolls a mean joint from what I can remember.

occasionally condescending and rude. You do not
suffer fools gladly, nor do you harbor any
false modesty about your capabilities. You have
a sharp tongue, though you're first-class
company when you're in a good mood.

I saw the actress on TV recently and she looks just the same (except her hair's gone grey).

Date: 2003-09-23 03:24 am (UTC)Well, I understand that blake's 7 existed. But my only real recollection of it involves Bill Cosby and a space tank. I think it was a comedy piss take. And I remember someone pointing it out to me later in life.
I remember being bitterly disappointed at how dull the Bill Cosby thing was thou. Perhaps in that way, Blake 7 has made me the cynical beast I am today! Then again, I'd blame other things... like never being able to find the right lego brick, or not being bought Optimus Prime by my parents, when I asked for him, and they said ok, then found out how much he cost. Or perhaps the numerous saved games of elite I lost due to fault 5.25" disks. God damn you universe!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, typing this is much better than working. Thanks for asking.

In fact a couple of years ago, the unmistakable Poofcat was visiting me in London. Whilst cottaging at the Trocadereo, he ran into the lady herself on the escalators, approached her and got her autograph. Such a fanboy!
Also, the guy who played Avon - his wife runs his fanclub! Bizarre!
