Well I thought I'd seen enough to last me long enough but alas I've seen it all today.

I was following a car this afternoon that was "ON-TOE". Fucking genius :D :)

The best thing I ever saw on the back of a car was a sticker that said:

"Say it with flowers. Buy someone a Triffid".

Well that was it exactly, it totally freaked me out as a kid aswell!
And I seem to love things that freaked me out as a kid.

As for Saphierre and Steel, all I remember is the ending, where they were left floating in nothingness or something. My mam used to love it, but I think it was the first time that I saw anything on tv that didn't have a traditional happy ending....which is probably why I remember it.

Actually, I think I'll try to find the ending on youtube!

It's on SciFi all the time I think, or was a few months back, broken into episodes as they like to do.

Day of the Triffids that is.
