Wasted conversation... you know, coffee talk...

[sdyates]

It's been a while since we have had coffee chat on here. There has been a lot of chat over the past year about court battles and a whole lot less casual talk about just about any sort of fluff. When I joined a few years back, there was a lot of fluff -- kinda like the stuff would would chat up at the local shop.

Well, this post is simply for that so let me start off. As I write this, I am watching the latest episode of Top Gear -- just saw the piece where the stunt guy jumped.... WARNING SPOILER... a gap in the road while spinning and crashed miserably... that man takes quite a beating!

What is your fav episode?

We're a bit behind in the episodes we see here in Oz (still in 2006!), but I think my favourite was when they compared the Monaro to the S-Type R Jag and the (pug-ugly) Chrysler 300C.

Guess what? The good old Aussie Monaro won! And even more satisfying was that it won a place in the heart of Clarkson! A rare car indeed!

Now all I need to do is get one for myself! :-)))

Cheers,

Mike.

P.S. Oh yeah, and also the episode where they turned a Reliant Robin into a Space Shuttle - that was the most surreal thing I've seen for ages. My eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing!

I understand what you mean about the Monaro, I felt the same way when he reviewed the Corvette. I think he likes it

Yeah, the shuttle was wow! I hope they have some interesting adventures this year

I am a little behind it as well...

I have been watching for four years now. I can't seem to get behind any of the characters but I still watch. Starbuck is too wild and Adama never seems to enforce discipline, which for a military of the edge, a little now and then is expected.

I am curious to see how the Earth aspect plays out.

Think it was a best of challenges episode I saw recently where they crossed the English channel in home made amphibious vehicles. Great show.

That one still amazes me!

Essentially, yes. There are a few changes in the characters, but the children still seem to drive the agenda of always being right It's a wonder that they have made it this far, but I am still drawn to it.
