Just got up and saw the news -- is everybody in the NYC / Newark area OK? Did the British contingent at Econ get out or is everybody stuck in Newark? Nina

Joanne said: "but the plane was temporarily mislaid?" Because there had been a shut down for four hours, when they resumed schedules a lot of the planes were not in the place they should be. When they went to get our plane to taxi it to the gate, it wasn't there. They eventually located it elsewhere in the airport. The imagery of the person who went to get it is amusing (think of going to a car park to find you car is stolen and you are looking at an empty lot, now up that image to a missing aeroplane). -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

Harriet said: "And how dull it would be not having Judith's dealer table to sit behind at cons. On Saturday, it meant I got a fascinating account of early American B7 fandom from one of those who first watched the series as filmed from someone's TV (to avoid PAL/NTSC conversion), with added bonuses like a girl removing her shirt reflected in the TV screen." Did he or she say whether a copy was still available? -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson Redemption 03, 21-23 February 2003, Ashford, Kent Celebrating 25 years of Blake's 7 and 10 years of Babylon 5 http://www.smof.com/redemption

And nowadays, it's going to be easier to get a paper zine through airport security than a computer, so that you can enjoy the distraction on a flight. Leah CWPack

Honesty Tests
by Ellynne G. 14 Nov '01

14 Nov '01

A was hearing about what were supposed to be some sample questions from an honesty test (supposedly a serious one, but I have my doubts). It occurred to me that Cally would probably flunk and Vila would pass with flying colors. Example - Interviewer: After returning home, you realize you have received one dollar extra in change. Do you return it? Vila: Oh, absolutely [to himself: Never keep money you shouldn't have if you don't know where you got it. It could be a frame up]. Interviewer: You discover an employee has been stealing $500 a month from company funds. He says he needed it to get by but he won't do it anymore. Do you let him keep his job? Cally: Certainly [to herself: Poor man! What kind of desperate situation was he in? Is someone in his family sick? Why didn't I know about it? What kind of wage is he getting if he needs to steal money to survive, and -]. By the way, how much is $500 in Auron pounds? Interviewer: Do you consider yourself A) Unusually honest, B) About average, C) Somewhat dishonest, D) Very dishonest? Vila: A [to himself: at least I admit I'm a thief. How many people do that?] Cally: C [to self: I know I've told lies to Federation officers, and neutral traffic controllers, and members of the Terra Nostra, and interrogators when I was being tortured, and -] [So help me, the next really was supposed to be on the list] Interviewer: Do you ever hear voices in your mind telling you what to do? If so, do you ever listen to them? Cally [hesitates]: You're not using that as a metaphore for conscience, are you? Interviewer: No. Please, answer the question. Cally: Er . . . .

The elephant, being a large animal, is very seldom lost." --schoolboy howler I'm very glad that you and others are all in one piece, but the plane was temporarily mislaid?

report on Galaxy Four event
by Judith Proctor 13 Nov '01

13 Nov '01

Anyone who hasn't been to a convention may find the following interview of interest. There's some good anecdotes from both Paul and Brian (and if you've heard them at conventions before, you may still enjoy it). Judith (just back from Eclecticon after a rather dull afternoon stuck in New Jersey while the airport was closed. The convention was good fun though) A new Paul Darrow and Brian Croucher Interview is now up at http://www.kaldorcity.com/g4interview.html. Learn the truth about Paul's fight with John Nathan-Turner, Brian's close encounter with a pair of pliers, the Blake's 7 movie, the connection between Travis and Tommy Cooper, why Paul Darrow is to be sued by William Shatner and lots more! Also, at http://www.kaldorcity.com/sheffield.html, Alan Stevens gives us his impressions of Galaxy Four's Sheffield Kaldor City Event. Read all about Andy Hopkinson's trials and tribulations with a fire alarm, the perils of being ginger-haired, and Alan's exclusive audience with the Pope. Plus, reviews of Kaldor City: Occam's Razor by Lance Parkin, Eddie Robson and Daniel O'Mahony at http://www.kaldorcity.com/occam.htm -- http://www.hermit.org/Blakes7 - Fanzines for Blake's 7, B7 Filk songs, pictures, news, Conventions past and present, Blake's 7 fan clubs, Gareth Thomas, etc. (also non-Blake's 7 zines at http://www.knightwriter.org ) Redemption '03 21-23 Feb 2003 http://www.smof.com/redemption/
