See you in a week or two when you're finished watching them :)

I'm really looking forward to it :) Got a two week holiday coming up and a portable DVD player :) Also got the boxset of Heroes (s1-4).

Three weeks and counting to my next holiday. Cruise to New York from Southampton, via Norway, Shetland, Faroe islands, Iceland, Greenland and Canada. Two and a half weeks on the boat and 3 days in New York afterwards and then we fly back.

Sounds like asweet cruise Ian, sounds like a few sea days though.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

BTW, Ian - what parts/attractions of NYC are you planning to visit? Three days is little enough time in the Big Apple that you'll have to pick and choose your destinations.

Hearing people at work talking about the "new" Chinese carrier... Am I the only one who read up on it just to end up laughing at it?

Rebuild? You mean they've actually done stuff to it?

Varyag.

From what I hear, the Chinese sealed the hull (because the original seals didn't work and the hull had to be pumped constantly to prevent sinking) and even put it in the water!
