to this Saturday's meeting. I'm looking at that huge patch of blue sitting where Britain used to be, and thinking that perhaps we should cancel Saturday's meeting.

Any opinions?

Is anyone interested in a little jaunt to far flung places? I believe the two places mentioned at Saturday's meeting were Edinburgh & New York.

Oh well I suppose I better get back to the script...

A little reminder that the May 07 meeting is on Saturday 5th May 2007, in
the Maltcross between 12 & 2pm. Closetblonde is canvasing opinion on a
mini-nano event over on the forums

Registration for Script Frenzy is supposed to start 1st May for those that are interested. http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/
There is a pdf file here on formating a script.

Continuing that discussion that we were having earlier
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.

Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway."
Ground:"Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by, Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark, and I didn't land."

I also posted a few links to other similar aviation conversations

I was innocently watching Toonami when I caught the tail end of a trailer for TMNT! They've only gone made a cgi film of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Apparently there is no Shredder.


It doesn't appear that they will be using the original theme tune...

And also out this year is the live action Transformers Movie. I don't really remember the cartoon. I remember the toy adverts though.

Who was it that was talking about online role play and the like?

I've found a couple of directories of these games

Ages of War looks interesting.
I did used to play Nation States but it got rather boring and I forgot all about my country. By time I remembered my country had been removed.

This is a list of great kids tv shows mostly from the 80s/90s that was compiled that the meet. Feel free to add to the list and include Youtube links.

Spotted this on my friendslist, looks like something we could easily manage...
novel_in_90 The goal is, every day for 90 days, you write three manuscript pages of your work in progress. 750 words. A reasonable rate of progress for a professional writer.
