Due to COVID and other problems I missed several issues I the past 2 years. Sometimes they get listed on eBay but only as part of a bundle which I don't need or the buyer is outside UK. So does anyone have any of the following available please as single issues : 392 May 2020 405 May 2021 410...

Just popped in again. Pleased to see some familiar faces in this thread.

Apart from eBay, are there any other sources of back issues of the magazine.? Do the current publishers have any stock of back issues ?

I would comment on this but I never received a copy. I've been sending in clippings for many years but, having checked with the subs department, it looks like the freebies I used to get have stopped. Not sure if I can be bothered to chase up the missing issue. Hi to everyone btw - hope you're...

Creeps in to say hi. Haven't got he time to keep coming here to follow threads but wish you all well. Might pop in and say hi again soon :)

The wait is over. All the usual stuff plus : Colin Wilson obit Spring-Heeled Jack And Jack the Ripper Weird Weekend Charismatic religion History of British Forteans Blavatsky Occulture

Thoroughly enjoyed the second episode - a very well constructed show with jokes, red herrings, pathos and clever murders. And I stayed awake throughout this time :)

Finally caught up with Ep1 - yup the V for vendetta quote was obvious. The fall had three explanations - any of which may have worked - and does it really matter which was "true" ? Had to watch twice as first time in iPlayer I kept dozing off - second kept awake throughout :) Looking for...

I have to agree with 1WB - the plot was confusing - even for someone who was 100% sober and knew who all the characters were. But it did resolve some of the long-term plot lines - flipside - one can only wonder where does Dr Who go from here ?

"The BBC is looking at partnerships that could enable Ripper Street to return but at better value to licence fee payers." from the lovefilm source above. I liked the show - not least for bringing in social, political and economic issues, to give a better idea of what whitechapel was like...

just a thought - duplicate bag keys. problem solved :)

After three episodes I'm in for the trip. I like the tone this has, the acting and storylines are good too. Tatiana Maslany is awesome - and series two is already in production : http://blog.zap2it.com/frominsidethebox ... ction.html

Disappointed that Joss Weedon is associated with this - the action sequences and FX were fine, and the story line OK - but the whole thing was ruined by the syrupy emotional gack that covered it.

Atlantis - Thought it a steaming pile of dog poo. instead watch Michael Scott's excellent programmes on Ancient Greece : eg - one looking the place of luxury / pleasure in greek society : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0 ... nt_Greece/ for some reason the beeb has already pulled...

The leaflet advertising the latest book i'll never read, seems to have forgotten to put the name of the author. Not sure I'd want to pay extra for a signed copy of an anonymous book.

Watched this on iPlayer. Thought it very well done, i think they got the tone about right- humour in war is difficult to do well, but they managed it. some nice digs against the Daily Mail too :)

people may like to read David Hambling's article on ball lightning - incl artificial ball lightning production as researched by the the US military (among others) It's a little dated now, 2002, and published in an obscure journal, but well worth checking out : forteantimes.com/features/ar ...

do they have spell-checkers too ?

Reading Neal Stephenson's "Reamde" which is damn fine (so far - 400 pages in and not at half way point yet.) I expect some readers will give up before finishing it as it's so long, but so far the effort is worth it. (Conceptually it's light-weight compared to some of his earlier works such as...

in common with many TV progs I nodded off near the end, so had to watch that bit again to see how the mystery was solved. thought the falling shoes bit was daft - they'd never fall that neatly and leave such a deep impression. and the hit squad killing off people who had seen a fake...

OWB - possibly a reference to the quote that humanity is bird that cannot fly on only one wing ? It's about gender equality.

Hmm - looks like I'll have to add those 2 Ballard volumes to my amazon wish list. Number 1 on wish list - more time and better eyesight to read more books.

Been reading Eli Pariser "The Internet Bubble" about the way the algorithms that run Facebook, Google and the like, feedback our preferences to us, slowly enclosing us in our own reality bubble, and the possible consequences this might have. Worth getting - and cheap if you shop around.

Thanks to UAR for flagging the links to conference talks. Just watched Kevin Slavin talking about algorithms that run our lives. absolutely brilliant - totally recommend to everyone. go watch it now!! (will need to watch others and bookmark UAR's blog page too!)
