I don't remember this one.

Star rats is a palindrome.

Gerbil libreg, however...I have no explanation for.

Which series is it that has the episode with the overabundance of tribbles? Maybe they're a related species?

Star Trek, "The Trouble with Tribbles", Series 2, Episode 15, first broadcast in the UK 1972.

Though I can't have seen it then because I didn't have my own TV, must have been later.

Also TAS More Tribbles, More Troubles; DS9 Trials and Tribble-ations (brilliant brilliant episode integrating footage from TOS), the sinister captain in the first season of Discovery had tribbles round the place, and Dr Phlox fed a tribble to one of his creatures at least once in Enterprise (very practical, good use for them).

Did I mention the DS9 episode is brilliant?

Can you imagine if Data had been programmed by Aston?

Brilliant I tell you.

@DeanElderberry Which episode was it in which they replay old footage of TOS Klingons & someone asks Mr Worf what happened (because he looks so different) & he just growls, "We don't talk about it"?

As Cherish of BakeOff says, "Love it, love it, love it!".

PS I once went to a talk by the Voyager Doctor & he sang opera for us.

That was the brilliant Trials and Tribble-ations - it wasn't a replay, they actually went back in time. Of course you love it it is brilliant.

I am massively jealous of your hearing the Doctor.

Thanks for the ep. To make up for missing the Doctor singing, I asked the AI what Dean Elderberry looked like...

So then I asked what a female Dean Elderberry with short hair would look like and...

Ah the Aston University/Gerbils thread! Never disappoints! Now it's Star Wars😄

NO IT IS NOT

wash your keypad out . . .

not going to commit myself to which image is most like, but deffo not the one with the moustache. Off to pout moodily into the middle distance.

Oh @MarieDeGournay this is LITERAL VIOLENCE 🙀

I should spend more time on this thread for the light relief.
Love the bus having a nice paddle.

Oh no!! I see what I did there... 😱
My keyboard is steeping in bleach. I'm going outside. I may be sometime...

Easily done. That wasn't the long running science fiction series you were looking for.

I hadn't looked at the messages on this thread for a few days. Now I can't understand a blinking thing but it feels so familiar and safe in the cosy confusion that is here.

I think the Klingons trained the gerbils to gnaw through the deuterium supply channels in my brain..🤖

You canna change the laws of...I dunno...gerbil wrangling.

Escape for a while into our cosy confusion...

The gerbils just called me to say they had a lovely day out last week when they attended a talk about linguine (I think - the line went crackly for that bit). They're fond of pasta - it's so good for their figures. Looks like they took some ingredients to make a sauce to go with the linguine.

But all of a sudden some other gerbils (who were a bit militant) took against linguine for some reason.

For a while, things were looking nasty but then Ethel decided to calm things down by showing off her greengrocery-based telekinesis.

It worked! The rowdier gerbils were distracted & they watched in awe as Ethel's tomatoes floated round the lecture hall, & they completely forgot to throw their own tomatoes at the lecturer.

The end.

Come back, BoiledBeetle, all is forgiven.
