Used to love doing the Airfix kits when I was a kid - mostly planes and ships but did do a huge Apollo rocket Spent all my pocket money on them so they were around 50p to £2 depending on size I suppose the glue and the paints will be different now - you could probably get very high on them  Yes things have changed a bit. The Tamiya kit is a 1/48 Lancaster Bomber Mk BIII at £110. Each pot of paint £3.50, glue jar £4.50 and fillers £6. The paints are acrylic so almost odourless. The glues are strange, there is no high from them that I can tell but the smell is horrible. Royal Mail won't post Tamiya green top glue because of its content but have not noticed any buzz. I am using a friends unwanted kits from the 80s to practice on - they were marked at 75p! I bought mine early 70s - Airfix glue was about 2p and the paint was about 10p a pot £110 for a kit?? - I can get a car for that I'd love to try a model again but it would be impossible with my gimpy fingers and eyes now  |

Big Harris fan  Bit of Trek trivia: For many years, the episodes "Miri," "Plato's Stepchildren," "The Empath," and "Whom Gods Destroy" were banned in the UK. Star Trek was considered a children's program and these episodes were deemed too intense for minors. The episodes' subject matter was also unacceptable "because they all deal most unpleasantly with the already unpleasant subjects of madness, torture, sadism and disease." I thought there were only two but turns out there were actually 4 - fuck you BBC Weird that the greatest (and most scientifically accurate) SciFi show in history was considered to be a kid's show ... maybe it proves kids were more intelligent in those days? |

Quiet enjoyed the film with Richard Harris. Also seen a young Dennis Waterman (Minder) acting in it. |

Part 4 of Zero Point - about the possibility that there is a collective consciousness and that random number generators are picking up spikes during events like 9/11 and Princess Diana's death - even a theory that these RNGs are displaying some sort of precognition  Will finish the last 7 episodes of Star Trek after this - not sure if I'll watch the football later - TBH I'd rather watch Dennis Waterman at the moment |

Just started watching the TV version of Fargo, really awesome. Perfectly captures the style and feeling of the film, and has some great acting from pretty much everyone involved. Nicely slow-paced, subtle, darkly humoured and understated.

A film ready to start, Burden of Evil (2012). Cant say if I have seen it before but reading the write ups on Google rings a little bell. Will just have to wait and see.

Mysterious Origins of Man www.imdb.com/title/tt0323339/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_63Good "Ancient Aliens" type doc hosted by dear old Chuck Heston  Seen it a few months ago but have just "acquired" the second part, Ancient Alien Discoveries of Early Man, so thought a re-cap was needed
