1) Re. Home Team: I have decided that what I really want is EPIC FIC of the Elite Eight teaming up to fight Skynet. *waits patiently for the internet to provide*
2) This week's Bang Goes The Theory was particularly entertaining, they tied a little plastic man to some helium balloons and sent him into spaaaace. Also they investigated the magneticness or otherwise of cows, and Doctor Yan's Al Fresco Skience bit was filmed in Cheltenham, hurrah.
3) Also I watched a programme on BBC4 about the history of the Girl Guides, which was very good: I loved seeing that the Guide movement got started because girls saw how much fun the Scouts were having and demanded to join in and to have their own movement. My one complaint was that it was narrated by a man; given that it was about women's lives and voices, it seemed a bit inappropriate to have their words framed and presented by a male voice. But other than that, I recommend it.
4) I am off on holiday tomorrow, so again, anything you think I should see/want me to comment on, leave me a link and I shall do so! I am going to South Devon, one of my favourite places, with some friends from uni. We have booked to go SAILING on Monday, so I gloomily predict that the weather will probably be horrendous, but never mind. I've never sailed before (and am in fact a bit scared of water) but I've read all the Swallows and Amazons books loads of times, which is more or less the same thing, right? Right.
