I loved this film as a kid in my early 20s. Me and a mate used to watch different movies every Friday and Saturday night with pizza and booze. Trancers was a firm favourite along with Night Patrol, The Party Animal, Animal House, Stripes, etc.

South London, UK: doner meat and chips. Optional lettuce, onions and burger sauce.

It’s an old four book series from the '90s but I would recommend The Saga of Pliocene Exile by Julian May. They’re available as ebooks. The first one is called The Many Coloured Land.

If you enjoy the world-building, Mrs May wrote a companion series which, IMO, is even better! Starting with a link book (Intervention) there is a three book series called The Galactic Milieu series.

Both series mix fantasy and sci-fi and are truly excellent reads.

I’m a Brit so what do I know? But I can see him taking a leaf out of Putin’s playbook and running as VP to a family member running for President, possibly Eric. Then he’ll still be in control.

I didn’t think it through that much.

Not at all. It’s all down to one’s personal view of what is ‘bad’, plus they’re the first things that came to mind!

The coffee is luke warm and the doughnuts are stale. It’s always windy and slightly too cold for comfort but not cold enough to put the heating on. Your bum itches.

Why were you sent here? See below.

Pride: you bragged about the size of your investments to your poorer relatives.

Greed: you shoplifted from a small ‘Mom & Pop’ store (stealing stuff from a chain store doesn’t count).

Wrath: you were rude to the waitress because of a small error in your order.

Lust: you propositioned your spouse’s younger sibling (and got turned down).

Envy: you keyed your neighbour’s new car.

Gluttony: you ate the last slice of pizza and drank the last beer.

Sloth: you never got out of bed before 11:00 a.m. at the weekend.

A dozen eggs per customer per day is hardly a limit. How many can one family eat?

So 4 in 5 prefer democracy. Seems okay to me.

There is that too, of course!

It certainly was over the past 14 years, yes.

Won’t somebody think of all the wealthy landowners, having to put up with being treated like ordinary people?

In the UK, for a pack-a-day smoker, that’s more like $140 a week.

I remember in the GM series, she always ended the books on a cliffhanger, which may have been a brilliant marketing ploy but was simultaneously terrifying.

The Saga of Pliocene Exile / Galactic Milieu series by Julian May. The best sci-fi books I’ve ever read for world-building and plot. Written in the '90s, hardly anyone remembers them, despite their success at the time.

I fell in love with this song after hearing it on S1E3 of Netflix’s ‘DARK’. The show’s soundtrack is absolutely brilliant.

Good god! How many potatoes can one person eat?

Annoyingly, my laptop seems to be working perfectly.

I’ve always wished for Scarlett Johanssen, naked, to appear at the front door. It’s yet to happen.
