The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

This is spooky - Kat and I just decided to watch Aliens, and then Gareth MSNs me just as the facehugger tries to snog Burke to tell me that Acton Power Station just blew up!

Coincidence, or something more sinister?
Someone pass me the Rab C Nesbit DVDs just in case ;)

Yes.
Merry Xmas, one and all!

Yup. The large substation (the surviving part of the Acton Power Station) blew up about an hour ago. HUGE flames (~10 storeys) and loads of black oily smoke. Still burning.

My building is about 300 yrds away from it. Sorry, I didn't get any pics of the fire at it's height; I was too busy resetting the fire alarm (the explosion set it off ????) and checking on the generators.

Merry Christmas to all, and big respect to the Police, Fire and other emergency service workers who don't stop for Xmas.

Blimey, glad you're okay Gareth. Was the blast the size of Nebraska? ;)

Happy Christmas!

Where's Abe?
He wasn't nesting at the time, was he? :lol:

Glad you're both OK.
