      He must have been Polish.

        Wasn't he a smelly unemployed pikey/hippy who had no fixed abode, kept bad company - thieves and prostitutes - and couldn't commit himself to anything for any amount of time. No doubt these days he'd be camping up a tree on the site of a proposed bypass and calling himself swampy.

          Nah, that was Chippy Minton, the Trumpton carpenter.

            Don't answer that, it must be Skaro.

            These days I hang around in a variety of space stations / cruisers.

              emperor , how do you cope in zero-g with such a big head. Do you have trouble balancing ?

                You should see the size of my sensor spheres. Unfeasibly large, they act as an effective counter-balance.

                  Which are entirely superfluous since in zero-g there is no gravity to pull him off balance in the first place.....

                  No manageing the momentum once he gets moving might be an issue. I can see an interesting 3 body problem coming up

                    if the emperor was wearing 'magne-boots' (available from Wallace & grommit space waer inc) he might easily become overbalanced in zero g.
