    If his PC is setup to use CET (europe time) then DigiGuide will show
    the times correctly - so News at Ten will, for hime at least, be on at
    11pm and DigiGuide will correctly show it.

  8. Star Smashers Of The Galaxy Rangers is either the best SF/fantasy parody
    I've ever read, or the worst book I've ever read. Spaceship Medic
    wasn't bad either.

    Rope bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
    lines of:
    Bill The Galactic Hero was a bit slapstick. Even for by Harrisons
    standards. I was a tad disappointed with those books.

    Bob Shaw and Joe Halderman are much better IMHO.

    He was a very good author of Sci-Fi, but SSR was more space opera,
    IIRC.

    The classic one is "Stranger in a Strange Land". It coins the word
    "grok", which you occasionally see used here.

    My favourite is "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress". "Time Enough for
    Love" is good too.
