If you weren't watching GITM, you would have been able to see
program on black holes on Channel (at least if you were in Sydney).
It was a lot of ruddy nonsense. If you did not see it, you did not
miss much.

In this case I'm glad I taped it, so that I can watch it with heightened
pleasure at knowing that John thinks it's crap.

No, it described the concept of the TARDIS, not the TARDIS herself.
It travelled through Time
It had Relative Dimensions (so they could actually move inside the
'police box'
It also travelled through space.

Yes, it did include clips from that wonderful program !
Science fiction in flares ! It was a magical piece of work,
psychedelia, and no program since has managed to capture the same
magic.
Cynically, it might have been said to borrow all the standard plots
developed by Star Trek, but its rendering of them was wonderful.
Black holes also had some excellent music and good computer graphics.
But, they clearly needed these things because of the problems with the
subject matter to start with.

I _don't_ believe in relativity.
Was this a typo, or are you just thick ?

Well, wormholes are a development of general relativity, but its all
a lot of ruddy nonsense. So I'm not sure about what you're getting

And that quarx exist? Wow.

You do so believe in it. Come on John, you spend so much time denying

My many posts on relativity. I speak of their content, which made my
feelings clear.
If people could not see it, that was not my problem.

Well, I do not actually see that many episodes of Voyager, but I am quite

Oh, Pamela.
You were supposed to feel threatened and uncomfortable about making
a return post.
Appreciating your silence would have been such fun.
Damn.

Again, the same feeling.

Hey! Why would I even be considering leaving this newsgroup?
It's not like I'm feeling threatened or uncomfortable about posting to
this thread... or any other for that matter. <g>
And now I even have Robin's marsupial jokes to look forward to... ;)

A kangaroo and a koala walk into a bar and the barman took one look at
the kangaroo and said, 'sorry mate, don't want *your* kind in here - get
out!' Now this really pissed off the Kangaroo and he started swearing
and abusing the barman, so the koala said 'You shouldn't have done that
- now he's hopping mad'.

No, just a joke I made up to cover the fact that I don't remember any
marsupial jokes.

Eh. It could have been worse: it might not have been funny.
