Now that show my TV station did bring in. Remember watching it on Saturday afternoons…thought it was a little too Star Wars-ish for me. Don’t think I ever saw the end. So are they still on the run?

…u ever watched a Brit sci-fi show called Sapphire and Steel?…

We're always entitled to our own opinions its just a matter of right or wrong.

Hi Richard,

Anyways, sometimes opinions are meant to be kept mum to avoid chaos...hee

cavalock: the series ended years ago. It had gone into hiatus and was brought back for one final episode where all the characters were killed off. Actually, one of the best episodes.

I have never seen Sapphire and Steel.

prince romp: Nope, not about a movie. Blake's Seven was about a group of outlaws. The show was pretty painful to watch, but it did produce a large number of very good exchanges.

sassy lady: As mentioned to prince romp, it was not a very good show. It was painful to watch, but it did sometimes have very clever dialogue. The two long running characters were Vila (a thief and coward) and Avon (a computer expert and completely ruthless and self interested - he had no loyalty to anyone but himself)

They r all dead? hah...

anyway, Sapphire and Steel was ok. I like it more cos of the stars, David McCallum (Man from U.N.C.L.E.) and Joanna Lumley (The New Avengers)!

It was a pretty good episode (compared to the regular ones).

Everyone gets gunned down, except Avon, who surrounded by armed Federation troops simply grins his psychotic grin (with the assumption that he gets it too).

Why you should regularly visit your dentist.

I hadn't been to my dentist since May-2004 (normally I went on weekends, but since Sofia and the kids moved to Montreal, I am not in Ottawa on the weekends). Last night, as I was munching on some cashews, I felt a pain in one of my molars and then some grit in my mouth. I went and washed it out, assuming that maybe there had been a stone or something amount the cashews. Turns out I noticed a hole in the surface of the molar (top right, second from the back, my wisdom teeth were removed years ago). Fishing around for grit in my mouth, it looked like crumbled filling. So I assumed that my filling had cracked and crumbled and come out. Went to the dentist this morning, he took an x-ray and came back with bad news. I have a large cavity under the filling, which gave way. The filling did not fall out, but rather impacted into the space of the cavity. He did not rework the filling, since the cavity is very near the root - cleaning it out would likely result in exposing the root. As some...

Chicken Menses

A friend of mine is an ovo-lactic vegetarian. This means that in addition to the plant matter he consumes, he also consumes dairy products and eggs. Dairy products I can accept, but eggs? … hmm, I wasn’t so sure - it sounds a bit like those vegetarians who say they eat chicken and fish. After all, the egg is an animal product. His answer was simple and satisfying, "Eggs are chicken menses. The hen will produce an egg whether she is fertilized or not. Unfertilized eggs are the discarded products of ovulation akin to menses in mammals." Image grabbed from here .
