This is the first show I re-listened too for a long time. Coppens open mindedness made for a refreshing change from some recent guests. His attitude was fantastic and his unwillingness to resort to name calling/ hysterical fingerpointing meant, for me anyway, the show was able to flow well and...

...ahhh sorry, stumbled onto this thread and thought it was about the Fleetwood Mac album.....

It would make for a good sketch. Each week they could turn up in different period clothing depending which TV show they had been watching... from the 1936 Berlin Olympics (turning up as Nazi's), to arriving in late Edwardian/ early Victorian clothing having watched recent re-runs of Upstairs/...

Cost of US incursion to Afghanistan & Iraq & bailing out the Banks: no idea, but this was running at $35mil per year and they shut it down. As you Yanks say, "Go figure....." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-15079119

Just like to say that I'm only half way through listening but what a great show this is turning out to be. Good job they're miles apart or it sounds like it could be reduced to fisticuffs!! Looking forward to the remainder....

A good chicken bhuna, peshwari nan bread and a couple of chappti, followed by peanut butter cheesecake. Or maybe chicken satay, soft noodles and spring rolls? My wife makes a mean cheesecake or my sisters key lime pie.... you know if I miss any good fresh meal I think I'd be depressed. Apart...

I misread this thread and thought it said Can't a Psychic make a Buick.... spent 10 minutes wondering what the connection was between cars and psychics... time for new glasses I think....

Robert Oppenheimer, just after the first test. I'd ask him if he is really sure this is a good idea? Has he really thought it through?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-14497641 I like this paragraph best: "We know how to insert the aircraft into atmospheric hypersonic flight. We do not yet know how to achieve the desired control during the aerodynamic phase of flight. It's vexing; I'm confident there is a solution...

ahhhh the 2nd amendment. The right to keep and bear arms for the formation of a local militia should the government get too uppity. Not the right to build up a small arsenal - 6 guns really? unless I'm mistaken most people only have 1 pair of hands how are they going to operate the other 5? I'm...

You knows it bad when Apple has more money than the US Govt. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-14340470

that last one wasn't the worse film I've seen but got the feeling they were contractually obliged to make it. They should have one set next to a beach, just so we can get to see Gillian Anderson swimming around in a bikini, maybe with Nicole Kidman.. yes that would make for a great film.. heck...

Though I wouldn't really class it as sci fi, favourite comic: Watchmen, as for fave sci film.... depends what mood you catch me in.... one day it'll be earth Vs the flying saucers, next day it'll be the update of Solaris.... then maybe it could be Dark Star (Alien is merely a poor bystander...

It's amazing footage. Pity we never get anything like that where I live.

Was this on some bizzare show called ultimate warrior? The name of the programme escapes me but it looks familiar. Of course the irony is both we funded by the same people. I grew up in Northern Ireland and I'm sure the IRA (or the 'Ra as they were known) used AK47's as well not M16's. Still...

Looks like the scene in close encounters when they come for Barry.... are you sure your not Douglas Trumbull?

I'm not sure if this has any connection but in 2006 my wife and I went to Dublin and as we got off the plane at Shannon Airport I was surprised to see a US Hercules plane sat at the far end of the runway. This was around the time there was a lot of news about "rendition" flights... but I would...

What kind of sick world do we live in when Ellen Ripley gets NO votes!?! For shame the lot of you....

I have a friend who is involved with a paranormal group - they go to old houses, old mental institutions, decommissioned nuclear bunkers and air raid bunkers etc etc., so you think he'd be pretty open minded to the idea of ufo's yet he looks at me like I'm a few bricks short of a hod when I...

Did Nicholas Parsons play Mr Jolly? I vaguely recall seeing this many years ago. Not to be confused with Psychoville's Mr Jelly though.......
