I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a SF fan of really more years than I honestly care to think about.I can trace it back to wanting to be an Angel (the pilots from Gerry Anderson's "Captain Scarlet") when I grew up - still a source of much mirth amongst some of my friends, bless! I also remember being really jealous of a cousin when he got a "Captain Scarlet" hat with moveable mic (it was a BIG thing then!). Didn't go to the cinema that much either, but that all changed when I first saw "STAR WARS" in 1978. I remain a "SW" and Harrison Ford fan to this day - again cue much mirth from some of my friends.Prior to becoming involved with "Sending A Wave" - the first UK "Firefly"/"SERENITY" podcast, I do have a claim to fame. There's footage of me waiting in line for "RETURN OF THE JEDI" included on the "Empire of Dreams" documentary in the "SW" box set. I could be sitting on your shelf right now. Scary thought, isn't it?!I enjoy travelling, meeting new people, sweet puppies, fluffy kittens and doing my bit for world peace - as long as that doesn't take too much effort!I work for a cinema chain and my office is rather concerned that I'm global.Did I say that I'm a "SW" and Harrison Ford fan?I do have some near unbreakable beliefs:1) "RETURN OF THE JEDI" is the worst of the 6 "SW" films. 2) Because of "AMERICAN GRAFFITI", George Lucas can be forgiven anything. 3) James Horner doesn't plagarise himself, he merely continues a theme. 4) Pierce Brosnan had one more "Bond" in him. 5) Given the right projects, Nathan Fillion really can have a massive career. 6) Vodka martinis should be stirred and not shaken -3 will make me merry, 4 will make me drunk and 5 will have me paying homage to the porcelain god.
You scored as Capt. Mal Reynolds, The Captain. You are the captain of the ship, so the crew are your responsibility. You just want to do the job, get paid and keep flying. Why is that always so hard?

"Now, you will be careful with that nitro-glycerine, won't you dear?"

My sister suffered a fall on Friday which meant another hospital stay for her. Not nice, as she has developed MS and of course, it's always hard to tell if she simply had a mis-step or if her body te...
