Reply to: Mars probe makes 'ice discovery'

If I land a gig there, can I claim mileage? Or would it take longer than 2 years to get there/back?

The Phoenix Mars lander has successfully collected water ice in one of its onboard instruments.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned in the press anyway is the implication that there are underground seas on Mars. And if this is the case, could they be mapped using some kind of geo-phys? If you're after life, that surely is where you should be looking.
Any knowledgeable types out there to enlighten?

Ho hum.

Are you sure it's not Mad Cow?

Yup, another who has triumphed in the face of adversity.

Throughout this thread not one of you bastards has mentioned what a brilliant job Richard Burton did as narrator.

You should be ashamed of yourselves!

As I recall there were two sleeve variants; the early one, with a book in the middle (which is worth a bit), and the later one without (which is the version I've got ).

Oooh, I've got the one with the book in the middle. Or rather my dad had it and I liberated it when I left home.

[gadgetman]

Now I'm gonna have to check which one I've got.

I recently unearthed a load of 'rare' LP's and singles which I'd stored prior to moving to the US for a couple of years.

I assumed that some of them would be woth a bit by now e.g. picture discs of "Never Mind The Bollocks", "Abbey Road", "Sgt Peppers", (2 variants), a US badge-shaped picture disc single of "Message in a bottle", the Beatles red blue and white albums on red, blue and white vinyl etc.

Unfortunately when you look on ebay they aren't worth that much. I'd rather keep 'em although I have nothing to play them on at the moment.

I've got a copy of "Levitation" on blue vinyl though... tulipty record though it is.

When I'm in the mood, I enjoy listening to many of the tracks on there. I've always really liked Who's Gonna Win The War, Space Chase and Fifth Second Of Forever.

Although for Motorway City that mood is about one every 5 years.

P.S. Blue Vinyl probably worth a few quid?

all in poor condition though

[wobbegong]

That's how much the LP was 20 something years ago... equivalent to about £40 these days.
