Why? What prompted that question?
Is it to celebrate the variety of brilliant films from then, (why then)? Or is it a belief that there are none, that SF is recent? SO MANY QUESTIONS....

Well, since I was just lying here remembering a conversation where people were asking the why of it, it's not like I can disagree with you either....

really!? I hadn't thought about hockey - never played it so never think of it except to use in descriptions to others of what hurling (isn't really) (cross between lacrosse and hockey that is)

But why would 'we' keep it thus.... Camogie, is basically the same game, for example, and rather sounds nothing like any english insult....

Rather glad I gave up at the end of season 1. And even then only my personal drive to see what happened was all that got me there. I don't play games like this, I usually don't watch shows so misery filled but the first few episodes caught my attention. Shame really.

One of my favourites of those is where you see someone and you jerk your head and they nod, and they jerk their head and you nod (or not as the case may be) and that's all. Perhaps you (plural) smile...

I was wrong about needing signatures from #Sweden, we had already reached threshold of 7 countries with enough votes.
It's 8 countries now but that doesn't matter it's just one million #EU citizens votes - we now have 967,761 signatures, a boost on the last day. Hope it makes a million soon #LGBT

I've not had soylent specifically, but the point of it is so I can eat when I don't have the spoons to make or even consume food. Not all of us care that much about the 'experience' of food and need it just to not die, thanks.
