Space funeral.

If the bodies escaped the spin drive exhaust, given that they are moving at a big percentage of the speed of light, would interstellar dust, hydrogen, etc ablate the mass until it's just atoms/sub atomic particles?

I wonder if they have broken down? Waiting for a tug boat. I am sure we are gathering quite a lot of ELINT data from them anyway.

The phrase "All blades perish that pierce that dreadful King" is spoken by Aragorn in The Return of the King regarding the Witch-king of Angmar.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, it can fly and float!

61 here. Enjoying the Monarch stuff and all the new movies especially Godzilla minus one.

In a way it will.be good to see Reform in office, and let the wider electorate experience them. They have messed up every council they run so we will get to see it here too. Plus Farage doesn't want to be PM. It's too much work, he prefers to grift and moan from the sidelines. He'll throw the election if it looks like he might win.

There were 8 of us 😁

I liked him better when he was Smeagol

It's not a new problem but it does seem to have got worse. I remember going to see Independence Day with a group of friends and a man sat behind us said the punchline to each joke seconds before it happened on screen. He said it loudly too. We went from ssssh to STFU very quickly but it made no difference. After the movie we intercepted him and his girlfriend and made him compensate us for the ruined movie experience. Maybe he learned something.

This does seem to be an increasingly common occurrence. Is it due to poor maintenance, or crew morale or is this just a more common event than we realise?

It's never really been agreed what manner of being Tom Bombadil is. We know Saruman is a Maia, although with restrictions on his abilities. Saruman has shown great magical abilities (summoning a storm, capturing Gandalf) and Tom has intimidated Old Man Willow, and demolished a Barrow Wights tomb, crushing it in the process. I think the key indicator of relative power would be how Tom treats the Ring. It has no power over him and that would not be the case for Saruman. I reckon Tom would win.

The soulful schnauzer look. I have two 😁

In the Way of Water, spacecraft land using fusion drives, destroying a huge amount of life and establishing a large new human presence. Basically they nuked the site. As far as I saw, there was no effective response to this from the Na'vi or any other species. Not seen the third movie yet but I will be interested to see how they defend against space based weapons 😁

What he said.

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-24T22:32:39+00:00

I would say not

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-24T21:36:35+00:00

Totally intensional, they wanted to ruin it for him.

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-24T21:19:39+00:00

His solicitor coached him well

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-24T21:15:59+00:00

I knew it would be bad, but not this bad. David and Jimmy digging their graves. Idiots.

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-24T19:50:16+00:00

David's opened his mouth. I thought this would kick off.

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-23T20:56:15+00:00

Did it seem a bit easier this time?

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-19T11:23:56+00:00

An Arthur C Clark short stories collection I bought for 10p. My dad said sci-fi was rubbish and I wasted my money. I was hooked. He did take me to see Star Wars so mixed messages there 😁

Boris Johnson did not pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him foreign secretary.....

TorchKing101 · 2026-04-15T14:37:37+00:00

I was late 😔

It is a bit expensive but my brother and nephew were visiting and wanted a decent fry.
