[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] It's scary, I feel quite paternal these days, remembering how young some of you were - and now many of you married, sometimes with kids. . . This carries on, I'll end up feeling grandpaternal. If that's even a word. As someone said, there is no TV SF worth watching right now. Or at least making the effort to start - in the UK, anything like that is on satellite so unless I decide to make the effort to obtain it by, er, other means, on spec - like I did with BSG and Firefly purely on you guys' say-so - I don't get to watch it. A couple of the guys I work with (it's a very geeky environment) are avid Fringe fans but at this late juncture I doubt I'd bother. I watched The Walking Dead s1 but not s2 - for obvious reasons, things with people dying don't play well right now. I'm determined to watch Game of Thrones whough in truth I've never really been into Fantasy (in preparation, I'm re-reading David Eddings on my Kindle at the moment - gutted to only just hear he died a couple of years ago). I think we all did things back then we probably wouldn't now. I was very angry, I know that now. It all seemed to matter a lot more than it really did. Well, sometimes it seemed like none of us had a clue... We've been living here in our house in Bristol for 6 years now, it's funny to finally have a place I can call home, I've moved around a lot. I don't want to stay here forever but I'm not in any hurry to move: but I have a 35 mile commute up the M5 motorway every day and fuel isn't going to get any cheaper. I may have to move closer to work. But it's not the most affordable town to live in, not if you're just a civil servant (government employee). I always used to say that this place was past its prime and should just be quietly put to sleep. But now I kinda like the idea that it's still here, and we can always wander in when we need to, a place where everyone knows your name. [/QB][/QUOTE]
