The NZA Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 no lnk, because you shouldnt visit the daily mail. When Star Trek obsessive Tony Alleyne was separated from his wife, he embraced the chance to turn their old flat into a recreation of the inside of the Starship Enterprise. But the 58-year-old's painstaking efforts may have been for nothing. His ex-wife wants to sell up - and she intends to offer buyers a more conventional looking home. Mr Alleyne has spent the last ten years transforming the one-bedroom property into a sci-fi fantasy, with a computerised flight deck, flashing lights and even 'transporters'. He is devastated by the news that his ex-wife Georgina wants to sell the flat in Hinckley, Leicestershire, where he has been living by himself since their break-up. 'Trekkie' Mr Alleyne said it would cost at least £100,000 rebuild the interior elsewhere, according to The Sun. He said: 'To say I'm gutted is an understatement. It is my life's work — and it looks like it's going into a skip. I admit there were tears.' oh, i got jokes, but honestly, that looks like some real effort went in there.
Thelogan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 That looks amazing, personal taste completely aside. What a heartless twat.
Mortiis558 Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 It is times like these where I wonder if everything Dave Sims said about women ISN'T true...
Thelogan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Don't you bring Dave Sim into this. I have a hard enough time explaining to people that having ...alernative theories on the nature of the genders doesn't mean he hates women. Buuuut yeah, this does seem like a move born far more out of emotion than critical thought. She probably just wants to hurt him.
Jables Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Well if it's hers to sell and he's remained living there then they may have struck some arrangement, or she is indeed just a fickle bitch.
Thelogan Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 I'd wager she's just sick of his shit. He's probably been wearing that same starfleet uniform around the house every day for like 20 years. Refusing to wash it because he brushed up against Brent Spiner at a convention once and it still has his smell.
Mr. Hakujin Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 I've seen video on this guy and his flat somewhere before. Can't remember if it was in Trekkers doc or some youtube vid. Anyway, this guy's situation still seems unclear from the article. Was he paying his ex rent, was it their flat prior to the divorce, and most importantly (as Jay pointed out) is his ex a fickle bitch?
Benz Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 All that effort... Money spent... Time... Gone. Ouch.
Thelogan Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Here's what comes off as spiteful to me: she wants to spend money and gut it so that she can sell it. There's enough fanbase here where she could list it online as "Home for sale, interior is recreation of the starship Enterprise circa Next Generation" and certain people would just start throwing money at the computer screen. I would understand if she planned to live in it, but it sounds to me like she's just trying to hurt the guy. Even if it wasn't his, I'm sure he'd prefer someone else had it than it be destroyed.
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Here's a woman that'd never make a man sell his ST:TNG themed apartment. Never. Now if we could get the entire musical performed by people dressed as Klingons and change the setting to a Bird of Prey, Joel would get me in a theater.
Mr. Hakujin Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 I'd imagine there'd be a time-share scenario. I can't believe anyone that can sing in Klingon with that much passion would be so heartless.
Reverend Jax Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 She steals pets. She cares only for herself. True, but also consider that you can touch her boobies.
Lycaon Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Isn't she the woman that did the "Fuck me Ray Bradbury" song?
