Hi Mark,

 CM> Nahhh... Jiu Jitsu.

 MR> What way is that ranked?  Is it in dans?  How do you think it compares
 MR> to Worf's defence class?

It's in Ryu and Dan grades (Ryu meaning student and Dan meaning master 
Hmmm.... there's no comparison at all   Actually I thought what Worf did
was actually Tai Chi (or something very similar) - AFAIK its a type of
martial art / yoga. :-|

 CM> I've been having a lot of trouble with Bart recently.

 MR> Yeah, me too.  Sometimes it's takes ages to pickup and then when I'm
 MR> trying to download mail, it sometimes hangs.  Most annoying.

Yeah, same here.  Pity, there are a lot of echoes on Bart that I can't find
anywhere else 

 CM> Happy Days ?  As in the Fonz etc... ?

 MR> Yeah, why not?  I mean, he did fight Mork from Orc.  So it's not as if
 MR> there's no sci-fi link.    Mork was cool.  Nanoo nanoo.

Err.. yeeesss... one of the more tenuous sci-fi links there   Yeah, I liked
Mork & Mindy but I never understood where the big baby came from. 

 CM> Earth 2.  I remember seeing previews for that...

 MR> Well it was on tuesday but I didn't watch it cos I've already seen the
 MR> pilot.  But new episodes for me starting this tuesday.  And on
 MR> wednesday there's Nowhere Man.  I've still to watch the pilot from
 MR> last night.  I've been told it's good, so I look for ward to watching
 MR> it.  Probably see it over the weekend.

Nowhere Man.... I think I heard something about that.  Is it about a man who
suddenly discovers that he no longer exists - at least in the sense that
nobody seems to know who he is - i.e. his wife, friends, authorities etc. ?

 MR> Well, having Sky does help.  The later seasons of Star Trek: TNG were
 MR> shown on Sky first, as were all the DS9's.  The X-Files was first
 MR> shown on Sky and so was Space Precinct.  So although you'll eventually
 MR> get Sky's sci-fi shows on terrestrial tv, you' ll have to wait a while.

Space Precinct and DS9 were available on RTE several months ago altho they
are only showing the first X-Files series now.  It seems they have some
things before BBC/ITV and some things a lot later. :-\

 MR> Have you been watching DS9 on BBC2 on thursday?  I've seen all of the
 MR> first three seasons and hopefully I'll see the fourth soon.  But DS9
 MR> is very good.  Ok, now that it's on 2, you'll probably get all the
 MR> jokes again, like to boldly wait where no man h as waited before.  gt;

I've already seen some of DS9 tho not a lot.  I've heard that Worf is supposed
to be in the 4th series ?  I'm usually out on Thursdays and I'm at Uni Halls
during the week anyway so I don't have access to a video.  My dad does tape
X-files on BBC and RTE for me tho and Friends too 

cya

Chris...
