This is one of those questions that perplexes me


I have finally solved the question of where the toilet is on the starship enterprise (it is left behind the turbo life, first conduit and right again !!!)


but where on earth is the laundry room as a ship that size must start to smell after a while if they don't wash those oh so retro yellow jumpers


Can anyone help solve this mystery ?

In the Star Trek universe, post-replicator starships do not have laundry rooms, silly. They recycle dirty uniforms via the anti-matter reactor and use the energy to replicate clean ones. Every cabin has an ensuite sonic shower and loo. The crew's poo is recycled into whatever else they require, including food.


Didn?t they teach you anything at Starfleet Academy, ensign Sparticus?

Has anyone ever noticed that none of the crew of any Starfleet vessel ever went for a shit. Or even expressed the desire to go for one either.


An amazing display of sexual restraint on behalf of the entire ships compliment as well. If I had counselor Troi under my command I'd be up her like a Ferret.

"I would, but I don't want to be lectured by Whoopi Goldberg."


I wouldn't want to be lectured by her either Moos. Nor would I like to drink 'synthahol' either. I've also always wondered what engaging the warp core would feel like after choking through a spliff as thick as my thumb.

"Replicator, I'm an obscure never-seen-before member of the Enterprise crew about to be beamed down to the surface of that unexplored planet with Kirk, Spock and Bones. My chances of survival are not looking great. I would like todays uniform to be bullet, laser beam and alien proof please..."

Plus teleporting.

If you're making a new version from a recorded version using all the same atoms as the old one. Can't you just bu the poor dead red shirted fella in one end and having a living version out the other from their buffers or whatever they call them?

Very good point Mockney. Scotty appeared in an episode of Next Gen (think it was called relic), because he'd been "trapped" mid transport for x amount of years, yet materialised in good health. Surely then, they could just "save" a copy of you (which you'd update at regular intervals in order to keep memories current), then if you expired, you could be easily replaced.

It exists in the culture novels. You just back yourself up every now and then and if you die you have an identical body grown and you have your backup popped in, all you've lost are me

ories and experiences since your last backup.


Makes dramtic tension difficult when all that's at stake is the last 45 minutes of kirks wooden script delivery I suppose.

Two amazingly good questions


Number 1 (Scenario) the Borg are attacking, resistance is futile and yet not one hint of a trouser bellow is heard, or any indication of someone in the background screaming "Sod this I am off before I sh!t myself" How does that work then


Number 2 - Forget Troi ....Seven of Nine would make the crew stay up all night playing with their 'Gel Packs' or whatever



and don't get me started on inter-species procreation ... I mean do all aliens have 2 eyes, 2 legs, 2 arms and the same genitalia as us ?? Surely if they do then it indicates that there is a supreme being out there guiding the universe (and I am not talking Q) and speaking of which why do all aliens in the Delta Quadrant speak perfect American English ? I mean not one hint of a Jamican twang "yo cptn the ooomans are atacking but dis is one wicked spliff i is smoking man" I mean wouldn't that be as likely as American English....


At least I can still dream that Resistance is Futile and just submit to Seven's borg charms (Fnnnr Fnnnrr)

Good God Spartacus. Do make sure not to leave anything out.

I prefer to take my assimilated piece of science fiction arse by force thank you very much. Not succumb to their robotic suggestivity and knockers.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
