Do you remember an old (original) Star Trek episode about tribbles? They were round balls of fluff-creatures, that reproduced exponentially and nearly ground the Enterprise to a halt as a result.

I think these Henry/Hetty/Little Hetty/Workstations/cuddly baby Hetty things are going the same way!

VAC = Vacuums Are Coming!

Edit. Funnily enough, my vacuum man is coming tomorrow!

Oh yes!, have a good rest, JM! No hoovering allowed! Oops, mustn't mention (hoover) in the presence of Henry/Hetties!

I have always wanted a tribble! Ever since I was a little girl! They occurred in a modern episode of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, too!

Wait, have I just outed myself as a Trekkie? Oooooops!

Yes, you're right, they were reincarnated in one of the later spin-offs. Was it DS9?

Oops! Best not press my Trekkie button, WaS or I'll have to tell you about my 'starring' role in a Star Trek clip with Captain James T. Vomit Kirk!

Really?! Tell, please Pyxis! My inner Trekkie is doing somersaults!

Right! You asked for this!
(Visions of your little inner Trekkie spinning around going wheeeeeee! in a sort of porthole thing in your tummy!)

Years ago, in the 90s, there was a big Star Trek exhibition in Hyde Park. Well, I had to go to that. Spent the whole day there, ogling the exhibits etc.
Highlights of the day were:
1. Doing an interactive 'So You Think You Know Your Star Trek' Quiz. You had to answer loads of questions about both the original Star Trek and Next Generation. Then depending on your score, you were awarded a rank. Your answers were posted on a screen that anyone could see, as soon as you posted them via a keyboard. Then your final rank (score) was flashed across an overhead screen. To my delight and relief, I was given the rank of Captain, the second highest!

(It gets worse!)
2. I have stood, yes, I have stood on the Bridge, yes the very Bridge of the Next Generation Starship Enterprise! Ta-da!
(Unfortunately, you weren't allowed to sit in The Chair, otherwise I would have, and said 'Make it so' and 'Engage!')

(It now gets very bad indeed!) (It's all right, it's not a penguin unless James T. Vomit Kirk is a trigger!)

3. There was the opportunity, for an inflated fee, to enact a few poses with spoken lines, to a camera, looking in a couple of different directions. These poses were then spliced into an actual snippet of an episode, alongside James T. and Spock., so it appeared that you were acting with them. Well, I'd had no acting experience then, no time to rehearse, so what emerged was the most achingly funny wooden acting you have ever seen, especially as at the end, James T. Is smarming at me and I have to simper "oh James!" Blahugh!

I've still got that video somewhere. It's very short, only about three minutes. It's ab-so-lute-ly hilarious!
(Shame it couldn't have been with Jean-Luc! Or even Data!)


Deep apologies to all non-Trekkies!

Yeah, but if there's a prolonged water cut-off, or the sewerage pumps stop working........................:eek:...........

An earth closet would then be heaven on earth! :A (Pun intended!):D

We have had winters where our loos froze for a long time ( no heating). It got really cole nipping out side!

We have our own off mains septic system, but the modern version use electricity. On the plus side, the produce potable quality water rather than overflow that needs a soak way. No, we don't drink it either.

Have I posted something I shouldn't? I do apologise if so, but I don't understand. I was very careful not to discuss a sensitive subject with another poster.

Could someone please enlighten me, by pm if necessary?
