Were the Doctor Who TV movie ratings -actually- bad? Was the shooting set a safe space? Might we finally get new Grace Holloway material? Find out that & more in my recent #LIWho 1996 TV movie panel w/co-star Daphne Ashbrook & producer Phil Segal! youtu.be/OUzAwJ43acQ #DoctorWho #8thDoctor

Used the last day of my student railcard (😭) on a daytrip from Bristol to lovely Weymouth w/my bicycle. Saw Nothe Fort (AMAZING), 2 castles, many habours & beaches. Had one heck of a tailwind (& then a heck of a headwind) riding across the Isle of Portland causeway! #england #dorset #uk #cycling

Hey UK: a couple boxes of Star Trek memorabilia/DVDs/magazines/books are still in need of rehoming! Pickup from Chippenham would be appreciated. Preferably it all goes in one bundle. All for the low, low price of free! Comment or PM me #StarTrek

I'm building up my field recording kit. Very suspicious of the Sennheiser shotgun mic I'm looking at is the same price or cheaper on Amazon new than used models on eBay. I assume that means they're now cutting corners on production. #audioproduction #podcasting

I'm thinking of visiting #Greece for the 1st time later this month. Was considering a week+ on Crete & ditching the mainland altogether. I'm in it for the archeological wonders, culture & maybe a beach. I figure I can have a good look at the mainland on subsequent trip Does this sound reasonable?

Hey UK: How does one rehome a big box of Star Trek memorabilia/DVDs/VHS tapes without it being a giant pain in the butt? Money is not the important part (but is also not a dealbreaker). Without shipping it could end up in Chippenham, Bath, Bristol or Cardiff. #StarTrek

Yet more fabulous art from the Bedminster neighbourhood of Bristol, UK #streetart #bristol
The back of a small brick gatehouse behind a fence has the life-sized body of giraffe painted on it, and a sculpture of a giraffe head atop it, so it looks like a giraffe behind a fence in a zoo. Terribly clever!
