    Overriding the parents if they have nutty ideas about blood transfusions etc, isn't any way near treating them like property.

    The parents treat them as property. Were you homeschooled or something, you dumb fuck?

    Wiping out humans that way would be the simplest, but it would also do a lot of damage to the ecosystems.

    Is that a problem if you're intending to install your own, with the chemistry the right way round?

    even if they had slow technological progress who would try to match their opponents level?

    They don't, and I don't know why you think that. They're still far more advanced - just not very numerous.

    It wasn't the first time they'd done it, and it had always worked before.

    They do bring nuclear weapons. Right at the start they use one to fry all the Tosevites' transistors ... except they're still using valves.

    One, it should be trans-Neptunian object, even if it isn't trans all the time.

    Foil, brilliant idea. It's not like it'd short anything if it fell off.

    Decided to hedge my bets and desoldered them, so can put them back if I change my mind.

    Elements are only allowed to have one toxic oxide, are they? Better get a warrant for sulphur, then.

    I suppose they put CO2 scrubbers on submarines and spacecraft for decoration.

    I saw someone on Dragons' Den pushing special gloves that work with a touch screen. IIRC they told him to get lost.

    I'd always just assumed they didn't work with ordinary gloves, but this made me try it and mine (a low end Samsung) does. Up till then I'd been operating it with my snout for a third of the year.

    Shows do that sometimes, don't they? Start out good, decay to mediocre (often looking bad in comparison to their earlier selves, but still better than a show which is actually shit) then go out with a bang.

    I thought the 3 of Blackadder (Regency) was mostly crap, but 4 (WW1) was brilliant.

    Think Spitting Image went through a similar decline before ending strongly. They should bring it back. It's not like there's a lack of source material, is it?

    Similar comments were made about the recent "Are You Being Served?" reboot, saying that the sort of department store it's based around are effectively an endangered species these days.

    But didn't they set it in the 80s, i.e. not that much further along than the original?

    Watched the first one, and frankly that was one too many. Shite.

    The Porridge one I saw was sort of OK. Big shoes to fill, though.
