I bought this for Pops as a birthday present, I believe it was about 15 years ago, at that point it fit in my car, admittedly sticking through the sunroof…
Talking to a girl at work about the amount of stocking up people are doing, lots of dried beans, tins of veg & meat, massive bottles of water etc have been ordered over the last few weeks, and she said to me ‘I don’t know why they’re buying all this stuff they won’t… 1/2

In 1991, Patrick Stewart surprised Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry with a special birthday performance aboard the USS Enterprise-D. Dressed as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Stewart sang his way through the alphabet, delivering playful lines of praise while dancing across the iconic Star Trek: The Next Generation bridge.
Originally filmed as a private tribute during the show’s fifth season, the footage wasn’t intended for public viewing. Years later, it resurfaced as a bonus feature on the Season 5 DVD, giving fans a rare look at Stewart’s playful personality and the cast’s appreciation for the man who created Star Trek.
I like the memories that crop up on FB, but when it’s the birthday of someone no longer with us it’s not so great, but I can’t imagine unfriending them
