First, apologies for the email glitch which saw many of you receiving the last Bullsheet over and over again. I was away for the weekend so didn’t know there was a problem until it had already stopped by itself. The plug-in we use has reportedly been fixed now but rest assured I will be watching the results of this email/posting like a hawk and the second I see duplication I’ll be disabling the plug-in. Thank you for your patience.

Secondly, to the point of this extra Bullsheet: Moonshine Movies, an Australian production company, has sent out a casting call for a new TV series (um, make that “transmedia science entertainment series”) and are looking for two hosts to front their SF show. Applications are open to current residents of Australia and close Friday 29 July 2011. Visit http://www.zorncorp.com/prospects/register for more information.
