    Fancy meeting up for a pint last week?

    Sure. We've already done that in several parallel Universes, might as well do a couple more and get what astrophysicists call Quasared. :D

    The notion of "Linear" time is rather odd and peculiar to Judaeo-Christian societies. Most of the World's great cultures have or had a cyclical view of time, a bit like a circular buffer Round-Robin-database type of thing-a-majigg.

    The word "late" is abused and overused. Whether one is "late" or work is "early" depends entirely on your frame-of-reference. :D

    Getting stoned used to be so much fun.

    It's hard to believe that today was already 30 years ago.

    Newbs and doob, a baaaad combo.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Hitchhiking The Galaxy One Last Time - Douglas Adams

    'The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be.'

    Zach Morris (Mark Paul Gosselaar) is now the same age as Mr Belding (Dennis Haskins) was during Saved by the Bell.

    20 years ago Arnie and Stallone had just released True Lies and Demolition Man. 20 years from now they'll be nearly 90 and more than likely dead.

    Johnny Depp & Brad Pitt will be in their 70's.

    I'll still be talking shíte in my 50's

    1990 was 40 years ago. We are closer to 2050 than we are to 1990. Just think about that.

    We're closer to the hovercar than we are to moon landing I.

    Cold War never ended when you really think it over.



    Respect means less than it never did and money means more.

    tell your loved ones what you think of them before it's too late because if you never try then they never did either.

    Brilliant post. So ahead of its time.

    I always wished that I was born on the ninth year of a decade.

    I was born in the early 80s but if you were born in 1989, then you are only 26 but have lived within 4 decades, 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s. I know it means nothing but I just think it's kind of cool.

    The smallest bit of fact checking would have saved us all this thread.

    Thanks for listening everyone.

    I haven't listened yet. I plan to listen in 20 years time, when this will all make sense. Except now will be then have been. Or something.
