My thoughts on settings in red
WFRP
1) Everyone is fine and I railroad you guys back to something I have material for in WFRP2. Suits me - I have mostly been gonzoing the campaign to date and have no issues with a continuation.
2) We do a WFRP2 restart and we go for the Thousand Thrones campaign. No objection
3) We move to WFRP4 which is set earlier in the WFRP continuum and I could run assorted material for that. Again, don't mind this option, happy to create a new character
Other Fantasy options 4) A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) I know this mythos tolerably well so happy to go for this.
5) Wheel of Time Not at all familiar with this setting!
Semi-Modern 6) Feng Shui. This sounds awesome, although I am going to have to spend a lot of time in Google street view if we go for it.
SciFi 7) Traveller
Don't know the setting well but aware that it is relatively flexible as these things go. Happy to give it a go.
8) Star Wars D6
I love the Star Wars mythos, yes.
9) Star Trek Adventures Very happy to eliminate currency transactions from an RP. My vote would be for TOS, I love '60s camp. Love it.
Future Grimdark. 10) I have the Dark Heresy Willing to give it a go
11) I have Only War and could run a Guard campaign Been a Guard player for longer than I've been with my wife so no problem
12) I have some Rogue Trader material as with Only War I'm cool with it but Tim you seem to have reservations? Would rather do something you're happy with
p.s.
I've had a campaign written for the Pulp Roleplaying System Spirit of the Century for quite a few years that I never got to try in Bristol. The opening mission was designed to be usable as a one-off to be played in 1-3 sessions depending on player appetite. So if Tim fancies a break for a session or 2 I would be happy to run a game.

Maybe thats the interim solution while we sort out what system we play next long term? Now imagining WG DisGrace, before the war a talented undergraduate cricketer captaining the Cambridge first XI until being sacked in disgrace due to an 'incident' at Granchester Meadows. Signed up to serve King and Country, spent his time in the trenches hitting grenades back to the Germans with his trusty cricket bat and now uses (his little) brains and brawn for high adventures with friends and aquentences

Well a number of the options planned might take some setting up especially Traveller or Trek, so getting a 1-3 session break where I can play would be fun

Ok chaps, I'll rustle up a character creation guide and we can go through the deets at a convenient time?

So is it 1920s high adventure. A bit like the 1999 The Mummy film? (really great film)

Get ready for some cricket related catchphrases and WG DisGraces battlecry of "Grab them by the googlies!"

The character creation in itself is a amusing looking full group affair too.

From responses on here, it seems we're veering towards Star Trek, either ToS or Enterprise?
