Especially Live and Let Die

How did Amsoft ever get clearance from the BBC to use the Doctor Who theme music for Roland In Time?

For that matter, did Ocean ever get clearance from Vangelis or John Williams to use Chariots of Fire / Olympic Fanfare in Daley Thompson’s Supertest?

My older brother used to bagsy the joystick and helicopter every time. I had to use the keyboard to make the jeep jump over those stupid mines.

According to my head canon:

- Series 6’s “Out of Time” ended with the original ending; Rimmer destroyed the time drive, therefore the deaths of the rest of the crew never happened. The starbuggers picked up red dwarf’s vapour trail and they toasted with urine recyc.

- The series immediately continued with Series X

- 7, 8 and “Back to Earth” never happened.

- References in X to “finding Kochanski” relate to resurrecting Claire Grogan’s version of the character, not Chloe Annette’s.

Frankenstein is a female cat. Given how >!sex obsessed The Cat is, it’s surprising that he never remarks that his transformation from Frankenstein into The Cat involves a sex change. Perhaps in 200-300 years time such matters are considered so unremarkable that they aren’t worth of addressing?!<

Edit: This is about the recent Red Dwarf: Titan novel

I made a beat that samples Amstrad’s dot matrix printer, but this sub doesn’t allow videos to be posted or cross posted.

Will mods allow a link to be posted here?

Just listened to the Red Dwarf Titan audiobook narrated by Chris Barrie. Splendid job all round, both the book and Chris’s narration.

Just one small nitpick- the way Chris pronounces the word “ginnel”- i.e. northern english dialect for a side alley or passageway between buildings. He pronounces it with a soft “g” instead of a hard “g” so it sounds like “jinnel”. I’m surprised no one noticed this and corrected him.

“A thunderbolt strikes barely missing you”

“Mary Whitehouse jumps out and slaps your legs”

An early measure of a person’s character is whether they were honest with the weird elf bloke when he asked whether you answered the question correctly.

Other than the C64 original (of course)

Change my mind.

(Amiga’s version comes second…)

Fix: Saving to same preset snapshot clears the preset samples

There’s a famous Midrash that Avaraham Avinu “knew the entire Torah”.

If that’s the case, then he’d have known in advance that Hashem would “test” him by asking for his son to be offered as a sacrifice, and then tell him to stop at the last minute.

If this is the case, then the Akeidah wasn’t a “test” at all, because Avraham already knew the outcome in advance.

So either the Torah is wrong (because it wasn’t really a “test”), or the Midrash about Avraham “knowing the entire torah” is complete horseshit.

Which is it, Rabbonim?
