I dn't think there's been much announced actually! But it will probably be my one and only chance to get to a convention, and I do enjoy all Gerry Anderson produtions, - well, most of them, even Terrahawks! Besides, its aweekend away!! It would be nice to meet up with other UFO fanatics-- ooops, sorry, fans!

Yes, I didn't think so either... I did spend a few minutes of effort hooking up the con organizers with a potential UFO guest actress, but so far I haven't seen if anything has come of that... Marc |

Yes, I'm ashamed to say. There was something rather perverted about the programme! I haven't got it on DVD though.... not that keen! (I'll go and hide in the cellar now!)

Some people would say being a UFO fan was perverted enough..... I personally think that being a UFO fan makes one normal! It's everyone else who's perverted!!

Isn't Swindon where that dreadful series "The Office" is based? The UK version... If I am wrong, apologies... and also apologies to anyone that lives in Swindon... mind you, it could be worse (Slough or Croydon come to mind...)

Don't know about it being a joke, it's a town west of London. The source of

Swindon is a town in Wiltshire famous for being the home of victorian bridgebuilder I.K Brunel and the current home of Brunel University. It was also the place where all the great steam railway engines were built. --- On Thu, 11/3/10, Lightcudder <[hidden email]> wrote: From: Lightcudder <[hidden email]> Subject: [SHADO] Re: Con in Bristol To: [hidden email] Date: Thursday, 11 March, 2010, 18:51 Slough... try Coppull on a wet Friday afternoon, or maybe even Blackpool atany time!

Sorry, but all the great steam railway engines were built in the US. : )
The Brits built pantywaist steam. Just my opinion. Still love the Brits, though. They make good TV programming.

Yes, USA built great engines, but ours were beautiful!! Flying Scotsman... etc. Fabulous machines... and don't forget it was an Englishman ( I hope you ARE English Gerry Anderson!) who created some of the best machines ever 'invented'!!! ( and I like Americans!)

They may have been "pantywaist" in comparison to your fat American lardies,but the "Mallard" still holds the world speed record for a steam locomotive, and she's British!

The Mallard has a 'coalbox' (is that the phrase? ) that's probably bigger than my classroom! Seriously! Fabulous machine! Beautiful as well.

Fair enough, Rob. : ) But show me a British steam loco with tractive effort anywhere near some of the bigger stuff in the US. Our medium sized stuff outpulls your large stuff. So in the speed category,the Brits win (but not by much). In brute force, US stuff wins. The Brits made many fine steam locos. I personally just don't like the looks of most of it. Not really meant to be a slight, just personal preference. : )
And the aliens in their UFOs go really fast, lol.

Speaking of the coal tender, maybe? Probably called something else inthe UK.
Beauty of a steam loco is more important?

On reflection I think its the firebox - -you know - where they shovel the coal into!! And yes,the railways would disagree with me about beauty, but boy, some of these engines are truly magnificent. --- In [hidden email], Jeffrey Nelson <1shado1@...> wrote: > > Speaking of the coal tender, maybe? Probably called something else in the UK. >  > Beauty of a steam loco is more important? Betting the railways would have argued that point with you, lol. : ) >  > Jeff > > |
