Very cool, if true

This means a lot to me!

Well I'm glad to know there's at least one of you:)!

tell you what - fancy a quick drink Friday? I need to something to get me through this week :( (I can bring Travel Scarbble if all else fails..)

Ah, Servalan!

Despite my being very young when Blake's 7 was on BBC [honest, I was young!], Servalan still holds a special place in my heart.

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?

From:

Sounds spiffy, neutral ground and all that. I have to hosy my video night at 8-ish, but I'm free until then-ish. I'm not normally a pub person, but I'm sure I can manage for a while.

I work at the St Andrew's Square end of George Street. Where's good for you?

From:

What's your video night? sounds cool :)
Have YOU got Princess Mononoke?????

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?

From:

I'm only an occasional drinker. I mostly don't like being drunk. I don't like being around most drunk people. I do like the occasional drink or two, but I know so few people that think that way that mostly I just don't drink.

I know, I know, I'm very dull.

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.

From:

Oh can Icome and see P Mononoke, plis plis plis, have just seen Spirited Away and am UTTERLY DESPERATE to see more. (OK after 3 g n t's:)

Tell Guy I'll smooch him if he gives me his turn.
It's not Guy as in

guybles is it? (I can terrify him anytime.)

From:

It's Guy as in

purelyskindeep, and you probably won't be able to persuade him. But I can certainly lend it to you, or you're welcome to pop round and watch it at some other point.

No-one gets over Servalan. She's the syphilis of BBC television. ;)

From:

You have the sweetest way of putting things!

From:

No, I can't watch anime on my own. I start to worry about marking essays, or doing the washing up. This is why I see almost all my movies at the actual cinema- it's the only place I can actually give way to sensawunda.

(And WHY haven't you been to Spirited Away yet? (If you had we'd have been to the same 3 films in a row tho ..) It is absolutely rocking fantastic. setiously. I am not a manga fan and it is just -- so serene, so sad, so funny, and so poignant . all at once..)

From:

I _will_ be going to see it, but my free time has been lacking. Maybe Wednesday night. If not, it'll have to wait until the weekend (Thursday is gaming, Friday is video night).

And if you can't watch movies by yourself then I shall happily help you watch them. I need to see more films (I own loads I haven't seen because nobody has been in the mood to watch them with me...)

From:

Oh my... someone to see movies with. You Do Not Know What You Are Letting Yourself in for (gosh all these caps are a fag aren't they?)

Last question - do youactually er w*rk for a living? Just curious..

From:

Oh, yes.

I work for a large financial company whose name I try to avoid in case it looks inappropriate to have it next to my ramblings about sex.

I program.

In COBOL.

You may now commence with the running and the screaming.

From:

Ohmigod.

Capn, the dilithium crystals canna stand much more!!!

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 :)

Maximum confessions!!

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.

From:

themongkey.livejournal.com

No, she's more like herpes in that she keeps coming back...

Oh. Oh, dear. I just found out that

galoot has never seen "Blake's 7" ... *thud* This will be corrected. Just as soon as I can get my hands on a few episodes....

given that i don't know you and ran across your journal through friendsfriends, I suspect i'm missing something. because this does not sound all that bad to me. in fact, it sounds rather preferable to preferring women who are weak, lack control, have no direction, lean on you all the time, and are stupid.

From:

You can't have Servalan! I have first dibs. :-) I have a thing about crystal daggers in the back of the neck, and it's all her fault.

From:

kpollock.livejournal.com

:-) You know, the first time I cut my hair really short, everybody thought of Servalan.

Cool character, but she was physically hopeless though. The same guy that did Shirley Bassey's dresses did her costumes, you know, maybe that was the problem.

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

Oh, and Avon was my childhood lust object. I mean, intelligent, selfish, scheming and dressed in black leather - what more could a girl ask for :-)

From: (Anonymous)

It means nothing to me!!! YAY!!!!

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.

I have to say, this is one of the funniest responses I've read in a long time.

Elite was a fun game.

From:

I'll fight you for her.

I wager 7 quatloos on me!

From:

I will simply have you assassinated. Or pay a puppeteer to arrange that you get lost on an abandoned base ~~in a quarry~~ on a planet with a silly name. Keep your seven quatloos - you'll need them.

From:

Nooo! Not a ~~quarry~~ strange planet!

I'll be sure to bring my police box with, as well as my collection of assistants who have much experience with ~~quarries~~ strange other worlds.

From:

I'll (http://www.livejournal.com/users/yonmei/145189.html#cutid9) bring my scarf.

From:

Good Lord, you're my favourite Doctor.

How terribly unfair.

From:

Which Doctor are you? (Who, of course...)

From:

You are the First Doctor: Irascible, brusque, and
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.

Ah. You are not my favourite Doctor sexist old git - I prefer 4 or 5...
