Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Any Question Answered

The following is a brief 'conversation' between myself a some helpful person at AQA whose help now stops the sleepless nights of wondering:

Me: Can you name the manga-esque film involving a stolen tank, a robbery and a blue/white robot on skates.
AQA: AQA Believe's you are referring to the 2005 release 'Robors' starring Ewan McGregor and Halle Berry. It was by Blue Skt, the creators of Ice Age.
Me: No that wasn't it. I was small when I watched it so it must've been released in the 80s. Any other ideas?
AQA: The film you descrive sounds like 'Techno Police 21C', a manga-style Japanese animation from 1982. It involves robots, bank robberies and a runaway tank.
I wonder if they can find the problem with a faulty server.

...and only yesterday whilst at the pub, the nice people at AQA managed to identify the 'episode of Dr Who where the baddies were giant slugs who sucked people through the floor?' as being The Twin Dilemma and the Gastropods led by Mestor as being the baddies. It was also the first appearance of Colin Baker as the sixth Doctor. For ages afterwards I was scared (I was 6ish) of being sucked through the floor and used to jump into my bed from a few feet away...
