Sad news this morning that James Doohan has died aged 85. Doohan, of course, was best known as Scotty in Star Trek.

More bombs on London underground. Channel 7 has SKY news live.
Yes, FXH, as I noted on the most relevant thread.
BBC has a frequently updated newsblog here. It’s still not clear that any bombs actually went off, and they may have been hoaxes, or only the detonators went off but not the bombs. Which I presume means that the people can be arrested and questioned. Anyway, that’s good news from the casualty perspective.
Howard’s meeting with Blair has been interrupted. Howard seems to bring bad luck in his wake sometimes - wasn’t he in Washington on s11?
Anyway, I’ll cross-post this to the more appropriate thread.
I’m sorry about poor old Scotty too!
So anyway, Jimmy Doohan. His ongoing stoush with Shatner was very entertaining. The others like George Takei and Nichelle Nicholls were too gracious to really go to town on him but Jimmy had no reservations, bless. I watched Wrath of Khan last night, the “ach, he’s dead already” to Bones at the end always gets me.
I was never really a Trekkie (I tried!) but we all loved Scotty. And thanks to Amamanda I found out about his war service and injuries which was interesting.

And you call yourself a geek, Irant! Try harder!
I am a trekkie and it is sad but inevitable.
I knew some peole at Uni who started a band beam me up Spock.
They did this knowing the phrase was wrong but it may bring in more people to complain!
I know. I was into Star Trek:NG but that was it. With B5, Buffy, Battlestar and the new Who there is only so much time.
According Inner Geek quiz my rank is Total Geek.
