All I long for, all I have longed for for years is to retire (prior to wanting to retire, my ambition was to play). Given a chance not to work, I would take it. However, this is not because of laziness or some inherent trait of sloth. Rather it is because I want to pursue my own interests and ideas; I want to do my own thing. One of the saddest things I find in talking with people about not working (aside from obvious disapproval) is that they like working, they would get bored not working, after all, there is only so much TV one can watch. Hmmm ... a pretty sad comment I think. I have a mind full of ideas. There are lots of things which grab my interest, which distract me as I journey through life. Finding what I want to do is hard., because every week I can have a new thing I want to pursue. Some might argue that I am not disciplined. Definitely, I am a poor finisher - great starter, but lousy finisher. I believe I have found what my ideal job would be: owning and running an incubato

…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.
Never hear of the show before...
Anyways, sometimes opinions are meant to be kept mum to avoid chaos...hee
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)
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)!
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).
