    I'm back

    Hi and WB Chewwy. I couldn't finish Dune myself. I've yet to try again- glad you enjoyed it though. I've made a comeback here myself. Just last week. I don't know why I disappeared, just go through phases I guess....

    My Introduction

    Welcome Cathy. your writing seems very interesting. I've just started coming back to TBF. It's a nice, friendly cheery place. I'm an automotive engineer who's also trying to write a Science fiction book, but at this rate it looks like won't be finished for quite sometime. I'm sure...

    Weird email

    Actually, on a similar note (hi jacking the thread a little), the WORST and freakiest experience I had online was in a chat room. I went in there, after years of not having gone there- and this guy came in (he lived in California) and was well known for having marrital problems and being...

    Weird email

    Hi Dele, And everyone else thanks for the concern. Don't worry Dele. It was a long email. I'm not that worried. I doubt it's a stalker. May be someone hit the send key by mistake. Agreed that stalkers aren't "cool", that police friend of mine from Finland had a stalker once, and this...

    Weird email

    Quite ALOT has happened, since I've been away from here. I went to Finland and Sweden. I found out my ex Girlfriend Swedish)( not the one with piercing) - is pregnant- (but not mine) and the father slipped out on her. So that was a bit err...ground shaking.....Me and her are no longer...

    Wabbit, Hmm, well I can tell you which posts they were, seeing as they were posted here. One was a response to Someones question about piercings and my opinion on them and how one of my ex G/Fs had them and tatoos. And the other post was one about Net dating and dating in general..and...

    Weird email

    I got an email from a stranger today. It recognised it to be alot of my posts- an amalgam of- from various posts. All pasted into an email. No comment, no nothing- no interpretation. After a while I recognised the scribbings to be my own scribbing froms here- this forum. So I'm...

    Happy Birthday, Marquis Rex!!

    Shucks! What can I say? Thanks you people! And just when I've started to come back here again too. Nor sure what I'm doing......What's an attention starved, isolationist nerdy hermit to do? I think I'll go take a blast down to London....Go and visit my mum....

    Battlestar Galactica

    I don't like this show whatsoever. I'm surprised Ron Moore had something to do with it, considering he was the guy that was behind the scenes of some of the excellent Star Trek incarnations. First of all, in common with "Enterprise"- the show was that I couldn't give a damn about any of the...

    The "Death" Thread

    Wow, I'd totally forgotten this place existed! Yes, I love the last scene of Donnie Darko of the alternative universe, as he is caught laughing in his bed room and the Pratt and Whitney engine (complete with febbanaci (spelling?) spiral printed on the front!) comes crashing down onto his room...

    What's your Pirate name?

    Dirty Sam Read You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest souls on earth, you defy the sterotypes. You've got taste and education...

    Music you Enjoy!

    I Really don't care for fashion and trends, and what's hip. I hate chart music. Lyrics tend to be equally as important to me as the melody. Steely Dan Nirvanna Doobie Brothers Pink Floyd Led Zeppelin Steve Miller Band Boston Garbage Blur Elton John Fleetwood Mac Jamiriquai Deep...

    Oooohhhh thunderstorms

    That's a great spaceship! I'm an appreciator of fine spaceships! I think the alignment of the interspacial matrix and graviton emitters is out by 2000 mili cochranes though. I'd get it checked!

    curiosity about memories

    Selectively removing "bad" or "hurtful" memories- or minimising them- is fundamental to psychotherapy though.... I'm currently writing a Sci fi story about someone with an emerging GENETIC Memory which is effectively re-writing him....
