I was very impressed with the live episode of The Bill last night. Since it was done in real time it made it seem so much more real. It's a shame that the storylines meant that not everyone could have been in it though. There was lots of action, I was practically glued to my seat! And that hasn't happened for a while, usually I have to be doing something else at the same time, otherwise I get bored.

The most annoying thing though, is that usually I put the TV or video on at 7.59 and get 'previously on The Bill'. I was out Wednesday so I switched the tape over at 9pm for Teachers and it cut off the end of The Bill! The tape started and I got the end of Coro, so I wasn't impressed. Especially as I put the TV on Thursday and just missed the 'previously' bit. Just when I needed it as well...

On the police topic though, I saw two mounted policemen in Oxford on Saturday. I've only ever seen them in Trafalgar Square at New Year (and it didn't half make the place stink of horse shit).

Some interesting links:

Haven't written in this for ages! A few links:

The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Hero - the Starship Captain bit halfway down is very funny

The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Sidekick - also good

Forgotten Memories - My birthday present from Avon - Estel fic!

And since what is this blog for if it isn't to publicise my own stuff - Instruction - Farscape drabble on the subject of discipline.

I will update my website at some point. I've thought about, which is a start at least. Off to SFX (and Expo) this weekend so its fairly safe to say I won't be updating this till after then either.

Some links:

Buffy upsets TV watchdog - only in America

Legolas ice-skating - very funny

The worst website - takes ages to load and can you tell what its for? highlight (or press ctrl+a) to read (answer: a market research company)

and a quiz:

Have booked my ticket to America, yay!

Discovered all these funny fics I'd missed on Bagenders because I hadn't discovered LOTR slash the last time I looked.

Have no hot water in the house, but at least have water and heating. Will have to get up early to boil water to wash with though.

Have been re-reading TTT VSD's, hence style of today's entry.

The William Shatner Acting Simulator is so funny. You click on buttons to get him to say random words (complete with silly actions) and it makes a sentence the same way the real one does! That picture of Aragorn from my last post is a very nice one. Can't write much because I keep looking at it, and also because I'm cold. Might have to go to bed to watch something.

Farscape - they're not dead, I tell you! Denial is not just a river in Africa - not least because they had plans for a fifth series and didn't get any time to change the last episode. So there.

A very funny site - Random Slash Pairing Generator at the Library of Moria. Isildur/Haldir? lol

Too tired to do anything except read a bit and watch TV. Buffy was only 33 minutes long, can't remember what was cut but noticed it in two places and know a third place. Good thing I have it uncut as well. But because I was taping it I couldn't watch The Bill from Wednesday before tonights.

And why is it publish always seems to be down?

Whoops! Didn't slash my center tag yesterday.

I was really annoyed at a stupid (male) driver in a flash car today. Somewhere between work and home I have to cross the main road. It was really busy close to work, so I thought I'd walk on the other side and cross later. When I reached the mini roundabout I realised there weren't many cars about so I decided to cross there. There was one car turning right, so I stepped off the pavement intending to cross behind him. But for some inexplicable reason he decided this meant he would slow down to a ridiculous speed and by the time I realised this I had to take a few steps back onto the pavement because a load of cars had appeared behind him and another load were about to run me over. So then I got to stand there for 5 minutes waiting to cross, all because of one stupid idiot. How do these people manage to pass their driving test anyway? Bribery?

A couple of recs, the website that goes with Posh Nosh and Vila's e-mails.
