Just finished watching the BBC4 programme on the Hubble Telescope. Ever felt insignificant? All those zeroes.

Gets you thinking though. Like - are we the only 'life' in the universe?
 
If we are - why are we blowing the crap out of each other?

Mick Taylor as well, apparently.

I recognised:

Steve Hillage (in the woolly-hat)
Mike Ratledge (keys)
Karl Jenkins (possibly, it was too brief to tell)

Plus what looked like a long-haired Frith but I don't think it was.

Edit: I just checked and it WAS Fred Frith:

30/11/1973, Mike Oldfield
, BBC TV Studios, Shepherds Bush (Second House BBC Performance).

1. Tubular Bells (Part 1)

John Field - flute
Fred Frith - bass, guitar
John Greaves - keyboards
Steve Hillage - guitar
Tim Hodgkinson - keyboards
Karl Jenkins - oboe
Geoff Leigh - flute
Pierre Moerlen - percussion
Mike Oldfield - bass, guitar
Terry Oldfield - flute
Mike Ratledge - keyboards
Mick Taylor - guitar
Ted Speight - guitar, bass
Tom Newman - voice
+ Choir

I didn't even notice Vicky's arrival actually.

But welcome, Vicky, it's a pleasure to see some younger Brits here. Big smile

I go to a Goth meet-up once a month (although it's on a break 'til March/April for the time being) but am not especially one myself but I do appreciate the scene (which is actually very diverse).  Never feel marginalised and keep to being who you are.  Also good luck with the child and I sure he/she will give you hours of love and fun.

More to the point, is there intelligent life on Earth? I think we should be told.

Yes, but most of it evolved from whatever it was that James spilt down the back of the sofa.
What?

flippin' heck...Shocked
 
you go away for three days and when you return, your beloved retreat of middle aged solice has turned into a Kindergarten...hadn't we specifically created a Shred Room for such purposes??...Confused
 
anyway, Welcome Vicky, although I do feel sorry for you... not being old enough to remember when Queensryche were actually a 'great' band, which turned out imaginative music, rather than the derivative, 2nd rate drivel they've managed during most of your lifetime...Pinch
 
anyway I wish you all a very happy new year...Big smile
 
if I haven't done so already...Ermm
Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Err no.  The Shred Room was created to have an intermediate room between the kindergarten and the big boy room.  I missed with the location however, since it was built right next door and then the walls came tumbling down.  Smile
