Oolite Bulletins

I thought mention of purple would give it away... and the sister of that song's writer, Nick Drake, was...



... Gabrielle Drake. Ooohhhh!


The CiSmoFiCo is yours, sir!

now i am really confused.... the song linked was "Dave Harrington Ft. Tamara - Things Behind The Sun " is this correct?

Gabrielle Drake, not entirely unattractive...lol her costume reminded me of Eva Habermann's from Lexx... dream material right there...lol

Correct, but Nick Drake wrote the song.

BUT I learned something yesterday! I never knew that 'Life in a Northern Town' (which I like a lot) was actually a tribute to Nick! It's a small world.

Anyway,

thinking about SF predicting the future, who was the person who was accredited with inventing the term 'Robot' for cyborg and androids?

The word Robot dates back to 1919/1920. It was the brainchild of the Czech Josef Čapek, and became widely known when it was used by his playwrite brother Karel in a play.

As was Solid Air. Nick Drake was a musical genius - but alas, a tragic genius!

Awesome awesomeness in it's entirety! And so quick!

Ladies, gentlemen and associated lemmings, we have a winner!!!!!!!!!

Smivs, the CismoFiCo is on its way to you with an unclaimed flagon of Ottasmanian Evil Juice in an evil juice resistant bottle! ( Sorry, you need a blow torch to get to it, though).

BUT over to you!!!

<Fires up the blowtorch...>

Mmmmm, a good vintage

Our question today is about Star Trek pets!
Capt Jean-Luc Picard, Lt Cmdr Data, Lt Reginald Barclay and Capt Jonathan Archer all had named pets.
What species were they (they are all Earth species) and what were their names?

Picard's Lionfish Livingston
Data cat spot
Barclay cat Neelix
Archer beagle porthos
damn i had to do a lot of reading to get barclays pet... never knew he had one... must have missed a few episodes towards the end.

And there was me thinking the fish was the hard one!
Absolutely right, and well done. Over to you...

ok.... after a sip or three of Evil Juice and a bout of rehab.....

days of future past.
what is the link to a Sci fi tv show and what was the show?

The cigar-smoking fish-coconut is looking for a new owner......

Days of Future Passed is a pretty good album - but unconnected to the clue, methinks.



Meanwhile, there's a big match at Wembley tonight! Pink?

the link goes like this.... band... member....song......show quite direct and simple i thought....

do you need a hint???

Could it be Star Cops? The theme song was sung by Justin Hayward from the Moody Blues, who of course made the album Days of Future Passed.

shes all yours captain.... that Evil juice does something to the eyes....ha ha ha

I know that the 'like' button has been discussed before but this post just SCREAMS for a load of them!!!!!!!
