Default Being the complete GEEK that i am!

I personally dont know how my girlfriend sticks me as i seem to be getting more geeky every week.

2 weeks ago i bought a very expensive Optimus Prime diecast(ish) toy and today i bought star trek rank and insignia badges and a star trek cup. i also have a serious amount of impreza models and I want to buy some Star Trek Model ships. I know what i'm doing is nerdish but hell i love it!

I hear admitting your a geek is half the battle. Now weres my trekkie uniform........

We're all big kids - the only thing that separates us is our choice of toys!

i actually do think it is down to having just about everything i want so now i'm looking for stuff i wanted as a kid but my parents could never afford.

I'm actually really enjoying looking for movie memoriabilia etc as i'm planning on doing up (should actually say my missus has gave me permission to do up) the spare bedroom into a small game/audio room so i can chill out with all my crap have a few beers whilst listening to music or playing the xbox

this will be next months purchase!

compared to when star trek next generation was at its prime there is very little decent star trek goodies to be had which sucks *** i used to have one of those flat based cups that they used in ten forward but broke it and have been trying to find a replacement with no luck!


Just a side line question is it easy and safe enough to get set up an ebay account?

Your barking!!! Even though I have seen every episode of SG1


I did however and purely by accident bump into the guy that played Jonas Quinn cos I happened to be in MK when 1 of those signing convention things was happening.

Remember looking round and thinking "what a bunch of saddo's"

What is the great attraction of Amanda Tapping. OK, she is a good looking lady, but nothing like any of the models that are out in the media. She does wear some sort of uniform, but its not that sexy...I don't get it really.

Admit it, you wouldn't turn her down and she's an essex lass too

Take it you missed the bikini scene in Atlantis then very

But your are rigfht in 1 respect, Vala would certainly get it as would a couple of the cast that played Tokra agents.

My last ebay purchase was one of these:

AMT ERTL Cut-Away Millennium Falcon 1/58 [D6547] - £14.99 : Forbidden Planet International , Your Online Entertainment Superstore!

It's roughly 1/76 scale, so should sit nicely alongside my, apparently too large, collection of military helicopter kits

It's the fact that she isn't like all the hundreds of identikit, plastic-titted, bottle-blondes clogging up the TV is what makes her stand out IMO
