Jacqui asked: <Anyone got it to hand - the only bits I can remember are the 'chariots of fire' (hence the film), the bows of gold and 'I will not cease from mental fight until I have built Jerusalem in England's green and pleasant land' - any connection with the London?> I've always got Blake to hand, Jacqui (only the book, alas): In every cry of every Man, In every Infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. (from the poem called 'London') Now I wonder if it would be possible to disregard some 50 years of difference in age, and write a story of an encounter between W.Blake and Byron as some kind of R.Blake and Avon avatars?

Do you think Our Heroes could qualify for a job there?> Well, there's that curious gliding way Avon moves whenever he has to run in skin-tight leather ... and Jacqui: <Why do the females so often wear 'silly shoes' - for traipsing around on planets?> It is a well-known historical fact that fashion and common sense have rarely had much if anything to do with each other ... and the shoes are a necessary part of the 1970s-retro styles sweeping the Federation at this point in time. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Ministry of Silly Walks
by Natasa Tucev 07 Jul '01

07 Jul '01

Me again, I haven't been able to post for a long time so I feel like rambling some more. The other day I saw Monty Python's old sketch, Ministry of Silly Walks. Do you think Our Heroes could qualify for a job there? 1. Blake's "cautious" walk with a gun down the London's corridors 2. Avon's walk through the service channel in the same episode (obviously a result of his refusal to crawl - it would be so undignified, even though no one can see him!) 3. Blake's running (any episode) 4. All the attempts of the girls to perform seriously in action sequences while wearing heels N.

Hi, we're here and so is Gareth Thomas and some people from the list. The revolution nearly started on time this morning. Harriet's been watching cricket but she took a break to watch Rene Auberjonois, who she says is gorgeous. More reports when we get back. -- cheers Steve Rogerson http://homepages.poptel.org.uk/steve.rogerson "In my world, there are people in chains and you can ride them like ponies" The alternative Willow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer
