This is good as there's supposed to be 6 or 7 books. It's bad, however, because he's only published one book in the last ten years, which was book four. Book five's being published this year, after being delayed for half a decade.

Have a read of Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind. It's a 13 book series (or something). Each book is pretty big. I've read it twice and it's pretty good. Tails off a bit in the middle but the first 4 or 5 are really rather good IMO.

They made a couple of seasons of a tv show, but it got cancelled for being quite crappy (bit like Hercules/Xena -not like the books). It had some frankly stunning women in it though.

Hands up who suspects we shall never hear of this again, like promising HIV vaccines or nanotechnology.

that sounds incredibly promising
probably never come to much, but could be used so many places

It does
post-oil technology perhaps.

I never believe a word of such things,
ever since my faith in science was DESTROYED FOREVER by the LIES peddled by the Tomorrow's World team.

The age of innocence has now passed forever, Al.
In fact if I wasn't due to be STUFFING MY FUCKING FACE full of TAYYAB'S lamby goodness in a little over 5 hours, I think I might shed a tear.

Oh, don't be.
We can't all go to Tayyab's every night.

I have a new T-shirt that I will be wearing.
It it olive green and written across the chest is "I have no interest in your worthless and ill informed opinions".

There should be a retrospective
highlighting their correct predictions over the 38 year run.

Maybe 20 minutes just before the news?

EDIT:
Although wikipedia says

In many cases the show offered the British public its first chance to see key technologies that subsequently became commonplace, notably:

The Breathalyser (1967)
The ATM (1969)
The pocket calculator (1971)
The digital watch (1972)
Teletext (Ceefax) (1975)
The personal stereo (1980)
The compact disc and player (1981)
The camcorder (1981)
Barcode reader (1983)
Radio Automation, pioneered on Pirate FM 102 (1992)
Clockwork radio (1993)
Robotic vacuum cleaner, pioneered on Electrolux Trilobite prototype (1996)

Perhaps the best-remembered item in the programme's history was the introduction of the compact disc in 1981, when presenter Kieran Prendiville demonstrated the disc's supposed indestructibility by spreading strawberry jam on a Bee Gees CD. The show also gave the first British TV exposure to the group Kraftwerk, who performed their then-forthcoming single "Autobahn" as part of an item about the use of technology in musicmaking. Another programme concerning new technology for television and stage lighting featured The Tremeloes and the Syd Barrett-led Pink Floyd.

Offbeat aspects of show
Featured inventions that didn't change our lives included a fold-up car that fitted into a suitcase and numerous gadgets such as miracle chopping boards for the kitchen.

The theme tune's good - but do you really want 15 minutes of it?

the calculator watch isn't on that list?

just heard from my mate who tells me that the recording of our gig last Friday is good enough
that with some mastering we'll be able to use it for a live EP, if not a full album. *GLESS*

hopefully I'll get the CD tonight and I'll try and upload some over the weekend.
Our new stuff pisses all over most of the stuff we've recorded before. Much more interesting and with a better groove. Some of the songs we recorded before were pretty weak, particularly when they got produced. We're all about the raw live sound.

Now. About that name....

(, Thu 23 Jun 2011, 14:17, Reply)
I've come to the conclusion that our music will appeal most to drunk people and children
so the name is fine.

I've brought up changing it, but the others weren't keen *shrugs*

not a lot I can do. I've got a side project with a slightly less stupid name, and we are toying with the idea of getting a different drummer in, getting our drummer on guitar and keyboards and playing more rock stuff, which would be under a different and no doubt better name.
