That I don't know, but I suspect not long.

Hellooooo can anyone out there help me with instructions for the large Liberator kit? A friend had one, they hid this fact from me, and stupidly as soon as I found out they had one just HAD to put it together for them! But behold the lack of instructions and try and behold all the little itty bitty bits that came with it that I have no idea what they are for. Can anyone help?? Cheers. Min.xxx

>From: "Una McCormack" <una(a)qresearch.org.uk> >Isn't there also a very short book by Adrian Rigelsford, the pages of which >fall out after one reading? That's alarming. What a poorly put-together thing that sounds. Though I have vague memories of reviews that suggest "poorly put-together" is a phrase with other applications in regard to that book...

Re: [B7L] Accidental avatars
by Sally Manton 18 Dec '01

Part of the appeal of Avon as avatar (besides the fact that he's most popular character, of course :-)) and also Vila could be partly because they are - along with Servalan - the most dramatically theatrical characters in the series. This isn't meant as a criticism (goodness knows, I love the pair of 'em) but there's no doubt it's easier as a writer to pick up the *outward* aspects of both of them - both their physical appearance (Avon's especially being fairly striking) and their manners and mannerisms are more striking, and can therefore be copied *and recognised* more easily. I mean, you can write a Gan avatar, but who's going to recognise it? But a dark-haired, pale-faced, sarky bastard with a clipped mannered voice, a hint of tragedy ... (okay, okay, and maybe the mouth and/or nose). Of course, there's much more to Avon that that, but these are the sort of things that are easy to cut and paste across :-) And other characters - Gan, Dayna, Soolin, Tarrant, even Blake - don't have as many of them (Jenna does, but the ones she has, the brassy blonde with a heart of tarnished gold, is such a traditional character anyway that any avatar would be lost in the general cliche). As always, all IMO ... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com

Fw: The Caves of Androzani
by Una McCormack 18 Dec '01

18 Dec '01

Forwarded from Alan Stevens: A new special feature for Christmas on www.kaldorcity.com: www.kaldorcity.com/androzani.html In these days when cave-dwelling terrorists threaten the political stability of powerful nations, environmental wonders are being sacrificed for base profit and beautiful women are at risk from sexual predators, the "Kaldor City" team take a second look at Robert Holmes' Gothic/Orwellian masterpiece, "The Caves of Androzani." You'll never watch the news, or this story, in the same way again! Also: Kudos for "Occam's Razor" from the magazines and newsgroups: www.kaldorcity.com/kudos.html

Nico said: "Yeah, I've looked for that one, but haven't yet found it. Anyone know where I can get it?" I searched on the web and found a US bookshop selling it and bought it mail order. You might have more luck with Sometimes After Sunset by Tanith Lee. This is two books in one, the second being Kill The Dead. The first is Sabella, or the Blood Stone. -- 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

Re: [B7L] a Christmas game
by Ellynne G. 18 Dec '01

These may be more nightmares in some people's view, but here goes- Avon and Cally - Whatever plot twists necessary for the two of them to finally work out their relationship to _my_ satisfaction (oh, wait, does that make it my wish . . . ? OTOH, all Cinderella ever asked for was to have a chance to go dancing. Poor kid probably never even saw her godmother's embellishments coming. So, fariy godmothers have this kind of latitude). Avon and Blake (PGP) - Survival, renewed friendship, and warm fuzzies all around (these are high caliber wishes, right? Reality checks not a problem?). Tarrant - Zeona lives. They go off and rule her father's planet together, incidentally defeating the Federation with her father's fleet while they're at it. However, if I had to do something for the others - Dayna - Discovers her family survived (the Chengans, who picked them up along with Servalan, were able to revive them [they were only mostly dead, not all the way dead], but Hal either knew better than to trust them and led a breakout, or the back to nature tribal types rescued them in an attack, or somebody on Liberator created a distraction by deciding to voice their high fire power distress at the Chengans lack of peace on Chenga, good will towards sentients. At any rate, a situation developed where he and Lauren left intact). Gan - After coming to down in the tunnel, he finds an emergency escape exit (that Servalan was cut off from), leaves, and opens a floral shop on Destiny (after winning a big chunk of cash in the "Things to do with large amounts of dried fungus" recipe contest [it was actually part of the data file Avon took from the Lost's planet in The Web, listed under "Things to do with the large fungus in space when it's no longer trapping ships," but Gan didn't feel it was unethical to submit it as his own under the circumstances (see Galactic Copyright law #4452-24-009, Proper Ownership of Ideas Lifted from Lost Civilizatations with No Known Survivors]). Vila - Joins AA (I suppose someone will suggest this is Avons Anonymous, but that wasn't what I was thinking of). Soolin - I'm really out of wishes but (in my alternate identity as Good Witch of the BBC) I point out that she has always had the power to return to the idealic family farm (live family included). All she has to do is click her hair accessories together while reciting "There's no plot like AU, there's no plot like AU."
