My new slogan

[kingandy]

There was a character in Nicholas Fisk's "Starstormers" books called Ispex (because, IIRC, he wore eye-spectacles). Wearing glasses, obviously he was the intelligent one of the bunch. He spent a lot of time berating other people for not using their brains properly.

"People just don't think," he would say.

I am saying it to myself more and more these days.

Was that the one where they stuck some engines to an old asteriod from a junk yard and escaped to the colony where their parents were?

OOh, Nicholas Fisk, did you ever read Grinny? Or Trillions? They both traumatised me as a child.

Yes. My first encounter with the concept of the hydrogen scoop...
