Re: OOC Discussion
And g'day all!
I read those "Mad Scientists Club" books as a kid, oh so many years ago (and they weren't new when I read them!). That seems an entirely appropriate inspiration for this type of caper!

Meph, if you have no objection, I'm just going to add a compass to Max's list of possessions. Seems like something he would have.

Re: OOC Discussion
Mr Handy, I'm impressed by your close attention to period timelines. I was just thinking TNG, 1987 is a bit early but no, been on TV for a couple of months now.

Thank you! I know the history because I lived through it, and anything I don't remember, I can look up online.Mephistophilis wrote: ↑Thu Oct 26, 2023 12:18 am Mr Handy, I'm impressed by your close attention to period timelines.

Re: OOC Discussion
I took my kids (now all grown up) to the Imperial War Museum in London a number of years ago, and there was an exhibition about events that happened in the UK. This included the 1980 Iranian Embassy Siege which I’d watched live on TV as the SAS stormed the building.
Seeing it now portrayed as history some 30 years later made me stop and think. It can be a sobering moment when you realise what is considered history for some people actually occurred in your lifetime!

Re: OOC Discussion
I work with a very buff older guy who was a Royal Marines Commando in the Falklands War. Later migrated, needless to say.
He pointed out that when he was a young marine, in the pubs around the RMC base would be these fit, tough, 60-something year old retirees, downing the pints. Those guys were the RMC WWII veterans!
And the gap between WWII and the Falklands is the same as the gap between the Falklands and now.
That is still making me ponder.

Re: OOC Discussion
Me too but it seemed early. Just checking it seems TNG didn't air in the UK until 1990 which probably explains the discrepancy, I'd always thought of it as very early 1990s. Might also explain the frankly dodgy sexual politics.

Re: OOC Discussion
Even worse when you get told what happened in some event you distinctly recall or might even have been involved in and it completely differs from your recollection. It's funny how an official version of history can be constructed after the fact.
