I've packed up my Christmas gear in a rucksack and am about to wade into the christmas shopping crowds to get presents on my way to my parents house. Hurrah for train travel!
Ah. Irony. Yes.
I don't see what would be wrong with Bruce as King of the Elves of Mirkwood, DR. They were pretty wild and selfish. Not like the High Elves or whatever of the LotR.
Black Books is superb. I on't know if it's on a network in the USA, but I've given copies to svereal friends and they love it over there.
I personally didn't like Darth Marenghi's Dark Place. I get it. But I thought the pacing far too slack.

I don't think it can have been that bad. Before my card expired (7900GT) I was zipping around with few probs.
Using up old veg and meat. Chicken, bacon, sweet potato, and celeriac soup. Coarse cut, then hit with a potato masher once soft.
I then went out to the shops, but eventually decided not to buy anything. i really should be eating up my own eftovers.
I'm more than a little concerned by the fact that everyone is talking witch burning on the basis of so little evidence. I spent many years studying crime, interviewing criminals, interviewing cops... In a case like this the guy may well be a cold-blooded monster. He may also be a guy who committed a very common crime while using a firearm and things went badly wrong. I say that having looked at crimes which genuinely deserve lingering deaths I'd gladly deliver.
I'm certainly not denying the poor damn kid had a terrible time, and he was very brave. I'm simply saying that all this hang 'em high hogwash is pretty ludicrous on the basis of so little evidence.
