Modern life isn't rubbish.

Because the world is bloody full of amazing techno wonders.
What have you seen that made you go crikey amazing!

1 Waterstones book printing machine. Give 'em your datakey and a 100 squids and in one hour. You're a published author wowzers. Or anybook that's still in print that isn't printed.

2 Starbucks intelligent machines. Wow a machine that will produce what ever shitty combination of crappu ingredients you think make you an individual.

3 3D cinemas soon to become 3D TV. C'mon the films may be shit but it looks great. And soon you'll be able to cyber group Jenny Frost and her slappers on Snog Marry Avoid.

Beat that lot.

Is that real?
Cos can't you get just the same thing for a tenner from Lulu?

Yeh but it's there at least at the Leister Square branch.

It justs there like a big metal book dragon. A bored student feeds in your data key it hums softly and then spits out your fully bound book.

And it can check for plagiarism from about five billion other books in just one hour?! That's a clever machine then.

That's not their problem.
Stop picking on Waterstones book dragon or it'll spit copys of my gay porn fantasy epic "Lord of the Rings."

Now suggest some techno wonders yourselves.

Grrr!

I don't want books printed while I wait!

You bunch of independently published books burning luddites.

But how does the British Library get their copy then? Do they have to pay a hundred quid themselves, or do they expect you to pay? So that'll be £200 in reality!

I assume it automatically e-mails a copy to the British Libraries book printer.

I want books printed while Chip waits.

Would it be immature to switch waits to masturbates in Tim's post.

Yes. And no.

But technology isn't really that jaw-dropping today. After all, most practical applications of science are driven by the need to distribute porn more efficiently... apparently.

Give me The Hanging Gardens, the Pyramids, and even the utter beauty of a Spitfire in the blue skies of Britain. They must have been real jaw-droppers to the people of their time.

And no, Soots, I'm positive the pyramids didn't have a giant piccy of the Assyrian queen doing the nasty with pharoah's horse.

(applies to the whole of my post and not just my last statement / opinion.)

SlagA you're just bigging up your pornopault. Part the reason I am voting BNP is that you're stupid assembly paid for a 700 foot arm length catapault. Purely so you can send crudely drawn pictures of genitalia towards Cardiff.

It's almost as big a waste of money as S4C.

Did you see that story in the papers, a couple of weeks ago, about how many programmes on S4C get literally NO viewers? Or maybe that's what you're referring to.
