I also own a bat'leth. A birthday present from my son last year (possibly from the same shop in York)
We should meet and do battle for the honour of our respective houses!

Julia, that's great!!


I have found out though, that I can't swing it in the basement rooms, & the ceilings are only about 6 foot

Data is by far the best in TNG, Picard has introduced some great new characters though and some of those are rocketing up the scale.

Not sure those slippers are combat ready though.

Old Klingon saying. Only a true warrior fights in slippers

Even in The Big Bang Theory', none of the 4 dressed as McCoy
Sheldon had to be Data, as the others often refer to him being so life-like that they forget he's not a real-boy
Yes, I know that's a Pinocchio reference, but Data wanted to be human too?

The reason I cosplayed as Dr McCoy was this...

My decorated pen at the Supreme about five years ago. Really enjoyed putting that together.

Everyone was expecting me to do a Babylon 5 theme...

I can't remember (due to my advanced age?) writing that I have one item of memorabilia, even if it is a replica
I'd looked at them, most times we were in York, but knew that I'd get into trouble, if I bought myself one
However, SWMBO & daughter bought me one for my 55th birthday
it's 44" long (110cm) from 'point to point'
It's not a razor-edge, but certainly sharp enough to do yourself some damage with!!!

It hangs in the ‘TV room’/‘snug’, in the basement

I go along with Spock
if 20 stone of blubber can stretch its way into a f**tballist jumper, & shout at the TV set, what's wrong with the below?

As SG1's Teal'c would say...Indeed!. It amazes me that footy fans paint their faces, dress up, saddle their unfortunate first-born sons with the entire 1966 England team's first names....and yet... I go to a Star Trek event and I'm a nerd????.

In the extended version of The Undiscovered Country, the assassin is revealed as René Auberjonois, Odo in DS9 although I think in the theatrical version they cut it at the 'Scooby Doo' moment when his mask is pulled off.

I think we need to know the heights of @Julia9054 and @Richard A Thackeray 's daughter.

It could have been a ‘Galaxy’?
