In Aftermath, how does Dayna get the unconscious Avon into the cave? I can't
see her lifting him onto her shoulders, but if she dragged him, surely that
would have left a trail for the Sarrans to follow?
Why do this kind of questions always occur to me *after* I've finished and
sent off the relevant review? :-(

Hi
I've been away from the list for a little while and have had to
download and delete unread a lot of recent e-mail from both lists
but judging from the amount of posts things have been busy :)
Whilst in hospital recently 9 only one of the reasons why i've been
away from the PC!) i was reading a book that someone bought me
called ' Bouncing Back' by Zoe Barnes it is about a girl who leaves
her husband and goesto work in a wildlife park , anyway there is a
character in the book called Will who is a collectibles dealer and
there were several mentions throughout the book to 'cult' tv etc,
however about half way through the book our beloved B7 gets a
mention!, not sure if one if supposed to quote from published fiction
but the following is copyright Zoe Barnes
'"How else could i get to play with barbie dolls and watch Blake's
Seven Video's at the same time ?"
Blake's Seven reminisced Cally, licking custard off her spoon, You
know i really used to fancy that Avon"
Wil lgave her a meaningful look, " Ah well you would, Always
preferred the evil Jacquiline Pearce myself - Now that was abottom
to get a young boy's pulse racing......
I wonder if the author was a B7 fan, the main characters name was
Cally too :)
i don't expect anyone else is remotely interested but i had to find
something to do on a saturday night
I'm off to decide between an episode of B5 B7 or Buffy before bed ?!

You know, these haiku are all great, but I just had to single out a

I hate to just say Me Too, but this is one of my favorites.
Una, are you collecting all of the haikus for your site? This was an
inspired challenge and an enlightening display of talent by list members.

This is probably obvious, but could someone please tell me what LOL
means. I keep seeing it around the net, but it means nothing to me.
On the Blakes 7 front, does anyone know if the (Liberator) teleport
could operate on a site-to-site setting, or even teleport someone to
(for example) the flight deck?

LOL stands for Laugh Out Loud and it certainly isn't an obvious question,
I've been trying to work out <veg> and <g> for ages.
Re your B7 question I can't remember any episode where anyone got teleported
to another part of the ship, so I assume that a person needs to either be
going from or coming to the teleport room.
Best wishes
Jessica

There's a site-to site transport in Pressure Point. Given that site-to-site
seems extremely useful, and we rarely see it, I tend to think it's either
difficult or risky, probably both.

I'm just back from holiday. This one was forwarded to me as I've been off-list
while I was away. Apologies if anyone else has already answered it.

Most copies seem fine. I've mailed out one replacement for a copy with a couple
of blank pages, but post-holiday lag has hit me and I cannot for the life of me
remember if it was to you or someone else.
I'd guess that the printing machine glitched and just failed to pick up one of
the pages on your copy.
If it wasn't your replacement that I mailed out before, then let me know, and
I'll get another copy to you.
