Who am I?
My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here.Where else to find me

I concur.
Disclaimer: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a “Trekkie.” Just a damn good movie.
Daddy Scratchess last blog post..The Green Monster
Going to see it Friday afternoon while Lukas is in Daycare. Will kick off our 10th anniversary vacation week. Then it’s off to Hawaii.
James (Seattledad)s last blog post..Secret Plan
I enjoyed the film, and will no doubt enjoy the next 46 that come out:-) HOWEVER, I found it largely humourless. Granted, Spock isn’t supposed to have humour, but they could have sprinkled a bit more around the other characters.
Scottie was definitely its saving grace.
Don’t you mean “Uhura!”?
Idaho Dads last blog post..Marching For Babies
Daddy Scratches – I’m a sort of Trekkie, but certainly not wedded to the franchise.
James – Oh yes, that’s right. Rub it in.
Jane – Really, I thought it was very quite funny really. there was the interplay between bones and kirk which I liked, and also the uhura’s first name thing. Scotty was even a little bit too over the top for me (although Simon Pegg remains my hero)
Idaho Dad – Damnit, that would have been so much better.
I agree with every point of your review. :-)
Simons last blog post..How to be a Prospective Father
Well said.
Your fears were unfounded :)
Lees last blog post..Series finales – A QYDJ podcat
Maybe I’ll finally manage to drag myself out to a cinema for this one. Make a change from all these nights in dealing whilst supermum roars into the night in search of parties. Or PFA crochet evenings, anyway.
dadwhowritess last blog post..Prison Tattoos
Simon – What, even the exclamation point?
Lee – I’ll listen to you more in future.
dadwhowrites – Perhaps you could get a babysitter and you watch the film while she crochets you a star fleet uniform?
Well as I have been reading some of the letters and blogs, and as any of you that have seen my letters on so many web sights know I did not like this film. As I’ve been called I have to admit there is some proof to the fact that I’m an old die hard STICK IN THE MUD fan of Star Trek. The biggest problem I’ve got with the film is that it completely goes against Star Trek canon. As some people agree with me, some do not. So I think we both can come up with a solution that will appease both new fans of this film and us die hard STICK IN THE MUDS. We die hards cant do it alone so we need you new fans help and the best part about it is any of you that don’t know anything about Star Trek shouldn’t notice a thing anyway.
I purpose introducing characters that are not considered canon but are still known to us old STICK IN THE MUDS. As well as some we didn’t get to know real well and for those of you that don’t know what I mean here some names to help you out.
ROBERT APRIL he was suppose to be the Enterprises first Captain before Pike and was the only character ever played by Gene Rodenberry himself
AREX he was a navigator in the animated Star Trek and had six limbs. With new C.G.I. he could be created vary easily
WILL DECKER he was killed in the first movie but was suppose to be in the second T.V. show witch never happened.
ILIA also killed in the first movie
M’RESS also from the animated Star Trek she was of a cat like race easy to create now
I feel a letter writing campaign would help with this and then maybe you new fan and us old STICK IN THE MUDS can both enjoy the ride the next film takes us on
Possibly the greatest one word review of all time with the exception of Harrison Ford’s review of the phantom menace “Boll****”
