Sixty years and two days ago today - September 6, 1966 - Star Trek premiered on Canadian television network CTV, two days before it first aired in the United States. Thank you, Lucille Ball, for believing in #StarTrek enough to co-fund TWO pilots with her own money.

Ooh .. I stash them into Plex - PlayOn generate chapters for ads, so I found it easy to chop up the video to remove any ads permanently 😎

Searched for PlayOn to see how much charter there is on bluesky and can't believe this is the most recent post! I only wish I'd found it sooner.

The constant sound of frogs at this time of year is only set to get louder with all those frothy blobs. Meanwhile Charlie-the-wonder-fool is on bracken removal duty.

Absolutely.. and if not danger, then unnecessary stress and anxiety. I'm mostly glass half full and rarely run into trouble. My FIL defaults to "someone will climb your back fence and steal your things whilst you're sleeping" and I don't know how anyone can live with those thoughts.

Winter isn't so bad. Makes getting up early on a Saturday worthwhile!

Coming to fame in The Goodies, Oddie was later known for his wildlife expertise and presented BBC Springwatch The writer, comedian and conservationist Bill Oddie has died aged 85. Having come to prominence with the comedy group The Goodies, Oddie later established himself as an authority on wildlife, presenting television series including the BBC’s Springwatch and Autumnwatch.

Coming back to this as I'd had it saved. I joined the CFA a few months back and one of the standard roles at an incident is logging stuff on a clipboard which you inevitably have to place down somewhere inconvenient at some point. I'll be checking into this!

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
