I've only found 2 interesting bits about big brother.
1) The guy who won the UK's first series gave all his money to a friend of mine, who had downs.
2) Cameron is still a virgin at 32... fag! Tongue Grin

Don't let's forget Star Trek (all series) and other great Sci-fi such as 'Star Gate', 'Sliders' 'Outer Limits' etc.  Grin Grin Grin

I LIKE MY SCI-FI Grin Grin Grin Wink


Another Sliders fan!!!!  There are more than two of us after all!  My wife and I met Professor Arturo in a cafe once, he also played the Egyptian bloke in two Indiana Jones films but I can't think of his name.

Also in reference to the rest of your post Brensec, most British (and other nations) colonies were used to ship out convicts at one time or another.  I personally think that those who survived their admittedly horrible ordeal actually had a much better deal than those who were kept in prison here.  My thinking is that once you were released from prison in this country (GB) you never lost the "stain" on your character as the vast majority of the population hadn't been in jail.  In Australia it was not unusual to be a released convict so there would (presumably) be less discrimination.

I know from my basic knowledge of history that many ex-convicts made an absolute fortune in the wool industry after their release.  In addition it all means that you guys get to live in a really nice place whilst us lot over here whose ancestors were "good citizens" have to live in this Sh*te hole.

Hey Smokes.
I love 'Sliders'. I think it's one of the best Sci-fi shows of the last 30 or so years.
It. like 'Star Gate', has a different, more interesting theme. Different from the usual Space ship goes out, gets in trouble, beats aliens and everyone's a hero, type theme.
I love Star Trek because it's the best of the best, in that vein of show. But Sliders and Star Gate have taken Sci FI a little further by steering clear of the whole 'Space travel business and all their 'gadding about' is done by other means.

John Rys-Davies played the character named 'Sala'
in Ark and Last Crusade.  Grin Grin Wink

Reality shows...ummm. I watched the first Big brother here in the US. Actualy loved it, but the next ones were a joke.
As far as reality shows go, I do like to watch "Cops". The one I dont like and it bugs the heck out of me is when FOX shows "Worlds scarest police chases" or anthing like it. Love love to watch the action but its the dubbed-in stuff. The person  in the helecopter is always the same voice , no matter where in the world it is at. You cant here the sound of tires skiding from  1000' in the air over the sound of the helo. The words "just missed", "Barely missed", and "missed by just inches" are way over used. Every time the bad guy passes a truck, the truck always honks his horn. Now that I have pointed this out, remember it next time you watch one of those "worlds whatever chases"

Ok, I'm off the soap box...next!

I've been trying to find a set of those Holloywood car tyres (tires) that squeal on mud, wet bitumen and even oil.
I would also like to drive one of those automatic transmissions that change gear like manuals when they are tearing down the street...........lol Grin
