    Great Railway Journeys is a recurring series of travel documentaries produced by BBC Television. The premise of each programme is that the presenter, typically a well-known figure from the arts, media or public life, would make a journey by train, usually through a country or to a destination to...

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    Thank you, y’all. It’s been a good few years but as I was trying to do a write up yesterday I realised that was nothing that I could say, that I thought would be unique or different. Also fundamentally I get more fun from my short story writing at this moment in time. The next part of the Gerald...

    Time Enough: “Finished…well lists at least” Why thank you, if you like my lists please do check out my other writings which I think are better, though of course I would say that.

    Lists of Heads of Government and Heads of State

    Thank you, I've been focusing more on my writing anyway, but I think recent events mean that I can't be particularly happy doing political lists, it feels a bit like hoping for something that can't ever exist. My writing at least makes me feel more productive and I can have fun with it, I have...

    Review: Remember, Remember

    It does sound very good and I like the use of a ‘alt-gunpowder style plot’ as the plan that Delphine plans to change things. I will add it to the list of books to read after I’ve started therapy properly.

    Callan's Graphics and Things

    Given all I’ve read about Kinnock, I could see this in a darkly amusing way being the straw that finally breaks the camels back for him and he just resigns in a huff.

    Tales From Development Hell: Ridley Scott's Dune

    I’m not particularly bothered by that show, but I do like speculating so if it did survive to a second season, it’s probably cut down to a half a season, of 6 - 7 episodes, the budget is reduced and generally we get a limp ending to the show instead of a film. It’s kind of funny that most...

    8). First Orbit of the Moon, (9th of November 1966, German Empire) Kurt Debus and Wernher Von Braun were livid by Germany's progress in the 1960s and so was the Kaiser, to be beaten by the British would have been begrudgingly acceptable if frustrating. But to be beaten by the major Republics...

    4). The Launch of Sputnik II, (17th of October, 1955) The recent creation of the Russian Republic seeming lagged behind the rest of the great powers, the launch of Sputnik I in the Summer of 1954, whilst successful seemed to pale in comparison to the endeavours of the German Empire and the...

    Tales From Development Hell: Ridley Scott's Dune

    Whenever I try and do pop culture write ups I find they take so long because you have to remember all the weird casting sheningans, odd producer choices and commissioners/executive producers abruptly killing a project and try and plan accordingly. The one that comes up the most in my mind is the...

    Tales From Development Hell: Ridley Scott's Dune

    Cor blimey, that's a dystopia right there. I do enjoy @RyanF pop culture because there is a nice sprinkling of cynicism to it that I think a lot of AH Pop Culture ponderings have. Because fundamentally, a two part early1980s Dune film would be a fucking mess, especially with the director...

    Alternate Atomic Africa

    I think my meaning was misunderstood, I was more saying that it would be weird for the South African Government if they were going to use Nuclear Weapons, that they wouldn't just drop them on there enemy be it the capital city or on a large troop formation instead of like 'showcasing a test' or...

    Alternate Atomic Africa

    Tshombe and his kin as the head of a hermit state Katagana with a small nuclear arsenal to use against the African Socialist nations around him seems like the premise for a good bit of AH Pulp. A Frederick Forsyth novel with Nukes.

    Alternate Atomic Africa

    Well then, I think in a scenario where Zaire is still a thing and doesn't collapse/face the same pressure in the 1990s, I could definitely see it becoming the North Korea of Africa by the 00s depending on how things went.

    Alternate Atomic Africa

    Oh very true, though Egypt is certainly bigger than Iraq, so they could have some potential to find somewhere out of IAF range. Though building a nuclear bomb is such a costly project, which is kind of why other nations just bought up large quantities of poison gas instead. When the sudden...
