What's in Warren Ellis' Gadget Bag

Of course it would be remiss of me to point out that I've now featured in the same feature as Mr Transmetroplitan.

Nuts to your Conkers

I love this little post from Danny O'Brien...

Blade Runner Vosted Best Sci-Fi Film Ever...

...say a panel of 60 scientists. But can they explain (1) Bladerunner being the runaway favourite and (2) 2001 coming a close second?

Even if the game is rank, I will have to play it through on easy to see this stuff. Some of these are photos, for the first time , I had to look closely.

It's nice to see that the rights of a fool to publish his opinion is alive and well...

Tube Run complete

Well it's a few days since the race and I figured I should pop a blog about it.  First things first, I must pay homage to my fellow Tube Runner, Mark, who not only showed my general level of unfitness but also came up with a couple of inspired alterations to our route in the mid-late stages which enabled us to pick up a lot of time.

 

Thanks must also go to the guy who stole my bottle of water at Waterloo as I crashed into him, bastard!!!

 

So our finishing time was 3h 10mins and 57secs which was pretty good considering we lost about 5 minutes at Coven Garden when somebody left a bag on the train and we also lost a few at Aldgate ---> Aldgate East thanks to a very poorly signposted subway (I may write a letter).  We started at Vauxhall on Victoria Line and finished at St Paul's on the Central Line.  Our route was unique for several reasons, most notably that we didn't disembark at Victoria with the others.

 

BBC London were on hand and made us do several 'fake runs' with the only effect that we scared a load of travellers half to death.

 

Our t-shirts were received well and hopefully these will turn up on the BBC news footage.

 

It's remarkable just how much fun something like this is, firstly from the planning point of view, but also simply charging around the underground like a nutter doing something most people would not do.

 

I'm looking forward to next year (hopefully this'll end up an annual event) where I intend to not only beat the time, but also to be a damnsight fitter to cope with the longer runs.

 

One note was that everybody successfully beat the previously established record of 3h 16mins so congratulations to all the runners
