Loved Star Trek, but no I am not a Trekkie :grin:

Loved Lost In Space too, with the robot's arms flapping and saying 'Does not compute, does not compute'. hehe

My favourite on star trek was beam me up Scotty. I remember a work colleague when in a predicament got hold of a stapler flicked it open like a walkie talker and said this, he had us all in stitches. Eileen

A few weeks ago I settled down to watch the movie 'Babe" and texted my daughter to let her know it was on. Babe was a favourite movie from her childhood, she is 26yrs old now. Immediatley she texted me back with the comment from the farmer - "That'll do pig". :laugh5:

On the secret of a happy marriage, an old boy on the radio celebrating his 70th wedding anniversary some months ago:

'When you're wrong admit it; when you're right, shut up'.

Might not be his line, but I'd like to think it is.
