Did the ad. or calendar tick you off that much that you had to say that? What's the purpose of this thread?
It's the only B5 calendar choice we have. Why, why knock it? Do you think that knocking it will make somebody else come out with a better one? No, it'll just help kill the only one we have, and discourage the production of future calendars.
I'm not angry, just disappointed. I just don't understand some people, and what they're trying to accomplish.

Speaking of calendars... This one on Amazon.co.uk looks rather different to the one in the ad. Does anyone know what the deal is - has anyone bought it?

The calender looks okay, but it's not something that I would spend $30 [NZ currency] on. Those of you who have got printers and scanners [I haven't] could create their own indivdualised calenders - there's plenty of great pictures on the Inernet that could be used to create your own unique calenders. Okay, there's copywright of course, but as long as you keep it inside your own home it should be okay. Those of you into the Narns or G'Kar could create a Narn B5 calender - or a Centauri one, or Minbari, or one with Earthforce cruisers - or a Sheridan/Delenn one - or a Garibaldi one - whatever your personal choice is.

There is one at Calendar Mart and also one at Amazon
They have different covers (the amazon one actually is the same cover as last year's one at calendar mart)......not sure about the inside though

Personally, I get too many calendars anyway. I love my "teachers quotes" daily calendar. And I have to get about 3 cat calendars. What I'd really like to get again in a mousepad with the year's calendar on it. Makes it easier for me to plan for my online class (avoiding things like having assignments due right after a vacation 3-day weekend, or accidentally having stuff due on Saturday or Sunday, and stuff like that).

I've had cat calendars... but now I've just decided that if I can look at three cats every day of the year, I really don't need a cat calendar.
I'm still debating between getting a B5 calendar and a Rolling Stones one... ah, decisions, decisions, why are they so hard to make?

Ivanova: No sir, wouldn't dream of it.

Ivanova: So in that case we're all going to die horrible, painful, lingering deaths.
Sheridan: Thank you, I feel so much better now.

Is there any way to order the calendar from the US? The sites mentioned are UK-sites, with ordering in pounds, not dollars.

Don't know... the US Amazon site doesn't have either of them.
But if you have a credit card, it shouldn't matter... except that the rate (1.7, or something like that, right?) might be a bit unfavourable and postage is of course more expensive than buying from US sites.
I have to admit I haven't really paid attention - it's all the same to me where I order the goods from, I still need to know the conversion rate and pay a fortune!

He he he. Because we sometimes need something trivial to ground up in these times of (what can you call it?) extreme weirdness!
The teacher's quote calendar I can pass around at work, too, and get many chuckles. So, I'm doing a public service, kind of. In a lazy way.

I wouldn't count on that... Last year, I couldn't get ANY of the Star Trek calendars..... No one carried them. Not even calendarclub, tho they have them on their web site. If you're in a massive city with tons of options, I'd say your options are better, but finding a B5 calendar in a store... probably not that likely.
I really want one, so am hoping that someone in the US imports them, as has been done with previous calendars. Even better would be Canada, with the currency exchange, but I wouldn't bet my potatoes on it.
