Long-Flight Tips ; Was Re: Redemption junk...

Calle wrote How many list members are going to Redemption, anyway? I'll be there, barring disasters and/or excess weirdness. Hellen Me. That will be my first convention. Ever. And I realised, that I even do not know the names of those 5 fellas from Babilon... Kathryn Whew! Someone else going who isn't a raving B5 fan! Yes, I'm going! (waves at everyone else who will be there) I haven't been to a Redemption before, but from all reports, you've definitely picked a good convention to go to as your first! David As you too have picked. If you are travelling from your place to Britain, you have elected for yourself a 24-hour trip. In case you haven't taken this flight before - I have taken it once or twice - here are some tips: In the lead-up to the flight, practice sleeping a few minutes / hours in an armchair. It will acclimatise, shall we say, your body to the demands of sitting for an extended period. You won't get much chance to walk while in-flight, so in the hour before take-off, walk around as much as practicable so as to become a little tired. The stopovers in Los Angeles, Singapore, or wherever will provide an area for exercise and lying down (also for sitting, but I don't think you will be doing that). Carry onboard an air-filled pillow that wraps around the neck like a collar. The ordinary pillow they will give you is less comfortable and less practical but still rather useful. Also carry socks onboard to wear instead of shoes. Carry onboard a small quantity of your favourite spice with which to flavour the food, and maybe a bar of chocolate to have with your cups of tea. If your hearing is good then something to block out that noise will be preferred. There are movies on board which are a great way to pass the time and to cut out the drone of the engines. When it is all over, I will be interested to know whether you will have been able to pursue some leisure activity: listening, reading, writing, drawing etc. Have a safe trip, next month, Kathryn, and also Calle, Hellen, and all B7 air-travellers.

But, if you get rid of the Space Rats, please, replace them with something. Spike and Dru from Buffy the Vampire Slayer would fill the same ecological niche with so much more style. Reminds me, I don't recall seeing Servalan getting wet in Sand. Did anyone ever try dumping a bucket of water on her and seeing if she'd melt?

It's partly the voice - Jan sounds (at least to me) like she's trying for extra-sweetness and got the sugar lump stuck in her throat. <Reminds me, I don't recall seeing Servalan getting wet in Sand. Did anyone ever try dumping a bucket of water on her and seeing if she'd melt?> Ummm ... which makes me think how wooonderful a Supreme Commander Margaret Hamilton would have made (do I want to see or imagine her and Avon in a clinch? No. Her and Tarrant all flirty-wurty in Sand? Yes please yes please yes please ...) _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Thanks to everyone who answered to this. I finally managed to get one that I could download and it sounds pretty good. Only thing now is if anyone calls me I have to decide between answering immediately or letting it ring for a bit to enjoy the tune, thus annoring everyone around... Julie Horner

BTW whatever happened to his film > about Messmer? hello Chris, "Mesmer" was on either very late night Channel 4 or a cable channel a year or so ago. He was gorgeous, and the Voice was just mmmmmhhh <drool>. Film was interesting, but slow paced, not something that would get main-stream cinema showing (especially not in our cultural backyard of Middlesbrough <grin>). I think that I taped over it, but I'll ask a fellow Rickmanite if she kept her copy.

Well, I got a reply to my football post, but didn't seem to get my original. Perhaps this is the disproof? Harriet
