John Ansell was so funny. "Miss Leader". Ahahahahahaha... women don't vote, right?

I don't think it's stink at all that the Aussies lost. Go India!
I agree, it's hilarious when the Aussie cricket team loses. Almost as amusing as the English team on a night out.
I don’t think most Cantabrians really care about the result of a trifling ANZC final, anyway
Erm, I disagree. But you know what Cantabrians really care about? The Shield.
Nonetheless, Wellington is my second-favourite team, and I don't really mind who wins as long as it's a good, exciting game.
I'm such a girl.

We would have had trouble coming up with ways to use them anyway.
Well, if I had known it was going to be an issue I'm sure I could have thought of some use for it...

Holy Shit!
I had been ignoring this thread cause I thought I'd be in for all kinds of Code of Conduct/Conflict of Interest problems, and lo and behold it's a comic and sci-fi geek love-in.
My kind of folk!
Indeed, I think the original topic bit it back on about page 2. Must be time for loltrek.

The original miniskirt uniforms, if you look closely, also had built-in matching underwear - a bit like rompers. No random shots of vulva allowed!
Indeed. Also, startling mental image there, thanks.

Wake me up when they cast Pegg as Hamlet.
I don't believe they're finished with David Tennant yet.
Simon Pegg as Scotty! Worth seeing just for that.
Looks appropriately awful though. Hullo bad 1960s Star Trek uniforms :)
Yeah, what Danielle said. And Chris Pine has obviously been studying Shatner's body language (okay, lean my head to the left arm, and yes my knees are further apart than my shoulders). I'm looking forward to it, and will only be disappointed if it's just a little bit lame. I'm secretly hoping for 'hugely awful'.

Yes, indeed. And Alan Rickman.
And while we're at it (men with luv-er-ly voices, that is), Jeremy Irons.
And now we're heading to a list of Die Hard bad guys.
Isn't it odd how the Die Hard movies also suffered from the even-odd problem of the Star Trek franchise?
I'd recommend fans of Jeremy Irons avoid his craptacular performance in Dungeons and Dragons.
This thread makes me think we should have a nerdy Public Address book club. There seems to be a common enough core of interest (if Ian Banks is a decent touchstone), and if we can all have civil discussions about politics, why not about books?
I'm very much in favour of the community here manifesting on relevant social platforms -- and also greatly in favour of me not doing it all.
I do belong to a 'file all your books here' site with discussion boards but I haven't been there for ages. I'll have to see if I can track down the link.
Or, y'know, make one. "All your books are belong to us".

In that Shakespeare, Lord of the Flies etc have been written about a zillion times and they know it inside out, appropriate quotes and all so it's way easier to mark? I imagine that if you haven't seen a movie/read a book and only marking an essay on it for the first time (or even the first 100 times) it would take a heck of a lot longer.
This did cross my mind (though the markers I know are lovely people). But an indignant email I got today from someone who hadn't realised this was a satirical piece (something I did worry about when I wrote it) would indicate that markers get sick of reading the same essay over and over again and hunger for something original. So... swings and roundabouts?

Though when I'm old I plan to look like Helen Mirren.
Oh, woof! No complaints there.
Isn't she gorgeous? And thankfully it's not down to clean living either.

Hmmmm... tempting. What do you reckon is the most age-proof spot? So when the young 'uns say "Show us yer tat, nana" they'll still be able to make it out?
I'd've had to think about this, but I wrote this book a couple of weeks ago... Plane of your chest above the tops of your breasts (ie where mine is) or back of the shoulderblade.
