All gas and phasers

Every so often it really hits me that The Small Object Of Desire and myself are a pretty good fit. Like the other night...

It was the end of a very long day at work and we were both too tired to sleep or do anything other than loll around talking rubbish. Which is my default setting anyway.


"I was thinking about Derek Nimmo," she said.
Like you do.
"Except I got his name confused and kept thinking: 'Derek Nimoy'. And somehow I couldn't get the idea out of my head. Derek Nimmo as Mister Spock, with pointy ears and a dog collar. And Captain Kirk saying to him: 'What's our position Mister Spock?' and he'd say: 'Oh golly gosh.'"
I am utterly beguiled by this who idea. I can see it all now: Mervyn Johns as Captain Kirk, John Barron as a Klingon, Robertson Hare as Scotty...

The younger generation may be wondering what I am blathering on about again...

Poor Sav! Yes, it's an English thing.
When the post title came up on my reader, I had a flashback to "Oh! Brother." And that took me to Brothers in Law. And I should stop. Right now!

She's obviously the perfect person to have around on a sleepless night.
Does she take bookings?

When I was very young I thought they were the same person.
Probably had a lot to do with the poor tv reception we got up on the west coast...
