Asda appear to be selling candles with letters on.
I was bored.

Fletch is an anagram of Feltch. Other than that, your image is superb.

Crazy hijinks every week as the police try to ignore or cover it up.
Little bit of politics, my name's Ben Elton, good night.

But in the modern version he doesn't work there anymore
He's on a zero hours contract in a shoe retailer's warehouse

So I'm now trying to think of other series that were 'eaten by the shark'
which I guess is failing to even jump the shark...
Edit: And I'm calling dibs, as it isn't even on TV Tropes...

I wish this was animated with the theme tune.
It would be a great thing to send people.

Someone should have paid more attention in Monty Python class.
"Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at 900 miles an hour.
It's orbiting at 19 miles a second, so it's reckoned,
The sun that is the source of all our power.
Now the sun, and you and me, and all the stars that we can see,
Are moving at a million miles a day,
In the outer spiral arm, at 40,000 miles an hour,
Of a galaxy we call the Milky Way."

:D
Yeah, she didn't even account for the movement of the solar system within the galaxy!

You could be the single static point of reference in all of existence.
In fact, you probably are. And there's no way to disprove it.

Actually, that point is apparently a toy dinosaur,
if this Super Mega comic is to be believed. (Not mine, though I do appreciate the artist's dedication to the colour yellow.)

Number one problem with every scenario of time-travel in fiction ever.
As far as I know, R. A. Heinlein was the only one to figure a way around
this by making his most of his temporal machines time-crafts AND spaceships.
Clicked and Woo.

Yeah, time machines would pretty much have to function as teleporters as well.
But by spaceships, do you mean that whenever you use one of those time machines, you'd end up somewhere in space and then have to fly back to earth manually? Because that sounds like a bit of a hassle...

Exactly so.
Old RAH was a smart bastard, he noticed that you would have to be damn careful
not to emerge from time where the planet was at the moment you were targeting.
A very messy result, so aim a large distance from calculated position of the
planet and then move in to land or orbit. Hassle, yes, but soooo much safer.

Your mom's ass.
Even if you slap it.
No offense, just a chance to use an old joke.
But to the point, and your point below. Yeah,
there are some additional holes in the idea.
As well as the notion that space is empty
enough to pop in and out of without ripping
the shit out of you from inside and out.

Yeah, that's a weird thing in science fiction.

Brainfart follows:-
There is no space and time, there is just spacetime. It's all the same. What was the centre of the universe in the beginning is now the edge of the universe, but there is also no outside of the universe in ways we can comprehend. So the question is not how to we travel in time, but how do we travel in spacetime.
When you look at distant stars and galaxies you are looking back in time - The universe doesn't look like this now. In fact it has never "looked" like this, because each part of it looked like it appears to look at different times in the past, the further away, the further back in time you are looking.
We can travel in 3 dimensional "space" by "spending" time, we need to somehow find a mechanism to "spend" one of the other dimensions to let us move between times instantaneously. This could be achieved by a wormhole, which would be a direct link between 2 points at a great distance, but I'm suspecting they would only be like 1 atom across and last for a billion billionth of a second or something, so you're probably not going to be able to drive a bus through.
So the answer is, I don't know.

I guess she was lucky not slam into those dunes behind her, then.
