My dreams of snow stayed as just dreams, but at least it is still cold, so there is hope. The mountains looked so close today, it was so clear.

On the TV here, after every break, there is a warning if the programme may contain nudity, sexuality, bad language or a bit of ultraviolence. Oh, and when 'Bones' is on, there is a warning that it 'may contain graphic forensic details.' I should bloody well hope so.
However, this becomes annoying. Personally I feel the warnings should be more appropriate. How about,
'Viewers should be advised that this programme contains scenes with incorrect use of language, there may be some adjectives used instead of adverbs, prepositions and articles may be left out and metaphors may be wrongly applied. There is also sexist language which some viewers may notice and find offensive.'

The spin-off from the British series, 'Life on Mars', 'Ashes to Ashes', is, in my opinion, even better than LoM, which was brilliant. There is a sexual tension between the two main characters, that was not possible in the original, and being that little bit further forward in time, the exploration of other issues, such as early AIDS cases and the changing attitudes towards women and gay and black people. Also, the music of the eighties was just stonking and so the soundtrack is spectacular too.
On the episode we watched last night, the lads come out with a whole string of derogatory names for gay men.
'Ever wondered why the Inuit have so many words for snow?' asked DI Alex Drake (the character from the future.)
The lads look bemused,
'Eskimos,' explains the WPC.
'Because it's so important in their lives,' said DI Drake.
Great writing.

I notice in the back of New Scientist that there is a firm that will sell you nanotubes, should you need them. They also supply phase changing material. Well that takes care of that then. Should I ever need to remodulate my Heisenberg's Coils, I'll be sending them an e-mail, so problem solved.
