[Mary Fisher]

I agree with you about London - but what's Soylent Green?

On Sun, 12 Sep 2004 10:35:32 +0100, a particular chimpanzee named "Mary Fisher" randomly hit the keyboard and produced:

Independent.

[Steve Firth]

You would need to see the eponymous film to understand it.

It's peepul, Soylent Green is made from peepulllllllllll!

[John Laird]

Fine :-) Whatever lights your fire, as they say.

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Then what the thermostat is set at is irrelevant. I'll accept some may be happy at 10C, but most would be cold these days - unless doing something active.

[Andy Hall]

It's a film, Mary, where society has degenerated and food is provided in tablet form by a megalithic company called Soylent - kind of like McDonalds if there were no controls or competition.

In parallel with all of this, there are places where people go to die an assisted death, complete with their choice of surround cinema and music.

Needless to say, there are urban warriors fighting all of this.

At the end of the film, the threads come together, rather like a ginormous shaggy dog story and it is discovered that Soylent's latest product, Soylent Green, is, in fact, made from people.

Ah. We don't do that - too busy!

But thanks, it's important to be street credible when you have trendy children. To say nothing of grandchildren who, of course, consider that their parents, uncles and aunts know nothing. Oddly enough, they have more time for me than the intermediate generation.

[Mary Fisher]

But that was done decades ago ...

Of course.

I don't think I'll bother seeking it out, I doubt I'd be able to follow the plot.

I don't read much fiction for the same reason, never have by the way, it's nothing to do with the poor old aged brain. I could never even follow the plot of Noddy ...

And yet they're still around, they're still bought and sold and still lived in.

How many have been demolished?

[Andy Hall]

What's a Medusa stare? or did you mean Methusela?

Medusa, in all her forms through aeons represents female wisdom. The most familiar representation of her threatening, ceremonial mask is that of a Gorgon, who Perseus killed by looking through a mirror rather into her all-knowing face.

Surely you've learned of her look which turned all who beheld it to stone? She protected the feminine godhead, warning men to keep away. Her hair was a circlet of snakes and her imge has been carved as a norful warning to men through millennia.

It works wonders with men in white vans who get in my way :-)

That sounds good. I've already planned my funeral music but a tasteful accompaniment to actual death is somewhat more difficult to arrange.

I had been convinced that it was going to be a difficult drive and parking was only availabel free to exhibitors on the last day.

I didn't say it woudl do either, that you think that was my reason for driving one says more about the way you think than the way I think. In a big van, one can see ahead a long way, which makes driving much easier.

That ugly eh?

[Steve Firth]

Soylent Green would cut no ice with children it's a film that's about thirty years old. I saw it when I was an undergraduate, did you not socialise then either?

[Steve Firth]

[Barratt houses]

Fewer than have fallen down, I suspect.

[The Natural Philosopher]

Not jealousy at all, just a salutary lesson in how to get rich, and how not to.

Which I duly noted.
