Nope, if it thought they were spam they’d be going into my junk mail, and they’re not doing that.

stoopid internets.

So, I’ve tried to sort out your email notification thing again… I think I’m going to have to accept defeat… you are registered on the lists for the posts you subscribe to, and my server is sending out the messages… so, somewhere between leaving here and reaching you, something is going astray.

I checked the email address and that seems fine (no spelling errors… what we call around these parts a ‘Ben’ , so I’m assuming that perhaps your email client has decided that they are spam. If you have any way of checking that you might be able to sort it out.

I’ll keep looking though – and if anyone else has problems of this nature, just let me know.

I want to parody the song Iron Man, but make it about eating breakfast!

“Heavy fruit of ruby red
fills our stomachs now we’re fed.
Four pancakes to a man,
Cook ‘em in a cast Iron Pan!”

Yeah? Yeeeeeeah.

Plus, will play an electro-beep version of the Black Sabbath song, Iron Man.

Certainly a contender, but as I remember it, one not destined for a happy ending.

I’d end up electro-strangling him… I’m not that great with full-on cheery… more of a Marvin type.

I agree, I only knew that it was a Canadian accent because I read it somewhere… I certainly wouldn’t have identified it from sound alone.

maybe it’s the Canadian accent of the period… a few million years hence.

I’d rather have too independent units so they can battle each other. I’d also like to make the sapien my servant somehow.

Where does one find this magical creature?!
I HATE hoovering. hateithateithateit. Can’t stand the noise. but a machine that does it on it’s own….*enter dream sequence of Maddie skipping through a field of daisies as the roomba rumbles along, mowing them down violently*
awesome.
I’ve actually heard of Roombas. There’s one in a short storyline in Questionable Content, if I remember correctly…

Stealing from wikipedia:

Robert Llewellyn writes in his book The Man in the Rubber Mask that before settling on a Canadian accent, he, Rob Grant and Doug Naylor considered Swedish and American. Llewellyn discovered the Canadian accent while spending time in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; which he describes as being a cross between Scottish and American.

If some of your other fans will go there and nominate you, it’ll help. I think the judges take number of nominations into consideration. I’m not sure though.

Is Kryten having a Canadian accent somekind of obscure Red Dwarf in-joke? Because neither he nor the actor who plays him has one as far as I can remember?

Roomba sounds like a monkey name,
although I think, for this contests sake,
a vacuuming monket would certainly
win a prime prize, or should…

Well, it really is hard to find the right person.
