    Flowers In Your Window

    It didn't take long for two of the veterans of the thread to act on an idea floated early last week in the kingdom to send our beloved Queen a welcome-back-to-work gift.

    A basket of flowers and Belgium chocolates were delivered by midweek and we hoped that they brought some cheer to the return to work blues.

    Well done Astro and ChopinGal - and everyone else who played a part

    One Speed Sees Queen on the Silver Screen

    At last the day came for 1speed4Sam's viewing of the very first StargateSG1 episode.

    Once again the entertainment was preambled by the all important soften-him-up-but- not-too-much mountain bike ride in the wilds of the West Yorkshire moors.

    The day was bright, sunny and clear, however a force ten gale hampered progress for the ride out and conveniently disappeared on the return leg. We were therefore late at the afternoon tea spot - at gone 5.30pm. A debate about who was going to get to shower first was settled when spirited hound inadvertently walked in front of 1s who was in full flow relief mode - The poor mutt couldn't quite understand why I wouldn't give him a pat until after his shower!!

    So to Stargate - later than scheduled at 9.30pm - thus time only for COTG. 1speed was shown to the fully customised Stargate Viewing Settee-tm complete with the optional extra Grip-O-Matic restraints - designed and patented by the RA - I took up my observation post and the proceedings began.

    I detected a certain excitement come to 1s's face as our Queen's name rolled by on the screen, and indeed eyes growing to the size of plates each time our Queen appeared on screen. 1s contained his obvious glee and didn't utter a single "Ain't AT hot!" comment - though this may have been due to the duct tape which was stuck firmly across his mouth.

    It is left to 1s to sum up his thoughts on COTG - though I can divulge a viewing of The Enemy Within is firmly on the cards!

    I believe we have him!!!!

    Art or Bust - the Chimera debate

    The season 7 episode "Chimera" is the subject Inaugural Meeting of the Stargate Debating Society which will take place this coming Thursday at the Old Hag's Inn.

    Leading the Heaven's Gate corner is Astrogeologist who is the proponent that Chimera provided the character of Samantha Carter a chance to show her previously unseen feminine, fun and flirty side and allow actress Amanda Tapping to broaden her Stargate performance repertoire.

    Sizzling nicely in Hell's Fire is Coley who puts forward the proposal that Chimera was the start of a Sci Fi conspiracy to weaken and sex up the Samantha Carter character with a view to increasing viewing figures by gratuitous use of low cut apparel.

    The society is committed to hosting orderly debates and thus all knives, P90's, zats and staff weapons must be left at the door. Strix will be on hand should anyone step out of line. In the hot seats Astro and Coley will be subjected to the use of the RA's patented grip-o-matic restraints.

    Tickets are selling fast!!

    Recording Session

    In commemoration of the 40th anniversary of the "Sound of Music", Royal Accountant will be recording a new album, entitled "Climb Every Mountain". Unfortunately, Mother Superior and her singing nuns are unable to provide backup choir because of some legal dispute over copyright material which is keeping them busy. It seems there has been a flurry of jokes being distributed across the kingdom which the good sisters thought belonged to the convent library only. So, Royal Accountant may have to sing solo for the album

    Jester's Joke of the Week

    3 nuns get killed in a car crash and they get up to Heaven and Peter is at the gate and he says, "I'm afraid you're going to have to answer a question each before you can come in.

    So he says to the first nun - don't worry the questions are very easy. "What was the name of the first woman?" the nun replies "Eve" and Peter says, "You're in!"

    So he says to the next nun "Where did Eve live?" and the nun replies "The Garden of Eden!" and Peter says - "Yup, you're in too!"

    The he says to the third one who is a Mother Superior "I'm afraid the question is going to have to be a little more tricky for you!" So he asks "What did Eve say when she first saw Adam?". The Mother Superior thinks and says "Oh that's a hard one!" - Peter says, "Yeh - you're in!"

        Do you think he's breaking any regulations?! Maybe not ... but he might be breaking a couple of the Ten Commandments!

          G’night Coley! Great job of the paper. Oh yea I say!
          Meanwhile, early morning here, so...

          Chopingal: "Nine" is a great read and just the perfect fun fic to cheer you up! Astro has quite an imaginative mind.
          Wow, about the CD of our thread ... that's quite an accomplishment. I wonder if Astro can make use of that if she hasn't already burned one of her own.
          PS I love your photo manip - it's very artistic and fits Carter perfectly!
          Astro: Great photocollage, deepspace! Love the inclusion of the 'meteor that causes the dinosaurs to go extinct' pic. Do you want me to put this pic into the SaGC Collection for AT?
          Yes, “Nine” is fabulously fun. I can’t stop smiling while reading it.

          About the cd, I could post one to astro for the collection if she wants. I could possibly post it today, it might not happen, but after that it will be a couple of weeks until I next go near a post office, so tell me what you want me to do. Anyone here know the postage to send one cd to USA?

          And, um, it was the ‘meteor that causes the dinosaurs to go extinct’ pic which I was worried about. I mean, it’s not too weird is it? I made it for the collection, but it took a lot of getting up the nerve to post it.

            Quotes of the Week
            ROTFLOL Methinks the Royal Editor has done it again! From curiosity shop to comedy central! The news of the kingdom ... all the news that's fit to print and then some!

            My word, what a lovely set of knobblies! The best in the kingdom from one who has seen quite a few in her day.

            Thank you, RA, for brightening our day with your clever wit and repartee! "The hills are, indeed, alive" with your rowdy humour and zest for life! Great job!

            May I ask one of our Royal Graphic Designers to design a Banner for our newspaper? Something with Old English script and whatever comes to mind? I think it would be a wonderful piece to include each time the RA goes to press and posts. Except, I confess, I must look to the archives to see if the very, very first issue was named Oh Yea What Say Times or Oh Yea We Say Times. We have to be authentic. Of course, there's no doubt that our Royal Editor is the real thing!

            Jester, who is still chuckling at the knobblies ... and rushing to buy a ticket for the Chimera debate!

              Astro is on the west coast so it would be cheaper to mail directly to her from Australia. But I can't help you with the rate ... hopefully, Astro will be back on soon and PM you an answer with how to get it to her. Good luck!

              DUH ... see? I'm certainly not a geologist like Astro ... I had no idea that the pretty pic was a dinosaur-destroying-butt-kickin'-world-destroying-kind of phenomenon ... it just looked pretty and blue to me.

              Don't stay away too long, little Page ... and take good care of yourself ... and keep thinking "wings", not "roots".

                  Omigosh, how did we not even talk about Diana Rigg the other night?! She was my very first female hero ... yes, the show was campy and the fight scenes more choreographed and dancey than realistic ... but, Diana Rigg, (an actress trained in the theatre, like AT) just exuded class and style and wit and intelligence. I always wanted her to get whumped a little, but it never happened. She is part of my generation and still a classy lady.

                  And, I mentioned this about a thousand pages back ... the scene in Space Race where Teal'c tells Jack that Sam has asked him to stay with her to help out ... when AT fixes Teal'c with a knowing look and says "Indeed ..." everything in that moment is pure Emma Peel ... the timing, the look, the delivery, the tone ... I was back with Mrs. Peel and Steed and couldn't stop grinning.

                  Sorry for going slightly OT, but you touched a nerve!

                    And that's why I really wanted it...because I've never seen her dressed to the nine's like that before and it was very un-Sam like and cool.

                    We rarely get to see AT so glammed up! I wonder what that picture was for..

                    Of course, I will still be wanting to get a picture of her in her Carter gear...

                      Here are some more commentary audio clips, this time from Death Knell.

                        I'm outta green jello but have to tell you that Birthday girl got quite a present from you ... these are great audio moments and screencaps to match. Terrific job - thanks so much for taking the time to do this, NC!

                        Wise Elder has given us some of AT's wise words from Death Knell! I don't usually enjoy PDL on the commentaries but you edited this quite well and actually put him in a more favorable context. As we can hear, Amanda wants to play soldier and get whumped more often - let's hope TPTB let her!

                              Dear Royal Guard aka 1s4S,

                              We eagerly await your version of Saturday Night Live with the Royal Accountant and COTG.

                              Methinks you will have a slightly different spin on what happened ... although, ahem, the woman talks about "taking showers" and "using restraints". Whatever happened to the more simple pleasures while watching the telly, such as popcorn and ale? I am so relieved to see that your knobblies were not muddy, lest I think there was some wrestling going on.

                              Let us pray that the new Vicar is quickly installed as there will be some need for confession and repentance amongst us. Oh yea, what say ....

                              A Concerned Citizen,

                              Jester
