In ten years time, I will either be:

* a product development executive for Virgin Atlantic/Holidays and very sucessful
* a sucessful travel journalist

I hope generally to be sucessful at something and have a nice house.

Well, you know, i was thinkng of doing a film with my mates Sadie Frost and Jude Law - there won't be a script, and we'll all improvise. It'll be about some cockney gangsters, who rob a bank or soemthing. But the bank 'job' goes wrong, and one member of the gang (Ray Winstone) is shot, meaning evertyone has to imporovise at his improvised funeral. The whole thing ends with everyone singing Dancing Queen, in the sort of nightclub that hasn't existed since the '60's ended. Oh, and there will lots of drugs.

Actually according to Dr. Robert L. Forward all you'd need to do would be to spend some time inside a large sphere with negative mass. This would cause you to experience a fortnight while only ten days passed outside. Another advantage is that you get all that extra leisure time.
And where do you find this negative matter? Um, well actually it doesn't exist because it would bend space backwards or something and you can't do that.

In a corner of a room sits a man of no identity or description. He is looking at a tv set flashing images of persons he once knew. He sighs as hears the audience respond. The television is turned off, a drink is finished and the man leaves with coat and hat. A lonely figure going out into a rain-drenched street. All is dark and everything meaningless. His greying breath merges with the heavy sky. There is a park bench - flaky paint and a tree, plus some pigeons. No crumbs of comfort today. Only bitter memories of what could have been.

In response to *that* posting.

The Corpses left us with a challenge. That person could be any of us a decade hence. Either we do something about it or we really will find ourselves in ten years time sitting on our rears watching the telly, moaning in this forum, etc;

I'd like to imporve things, I really do, I'm still optimistic that something good will come from the meet and maybe we will be the ones to give comedy and television the kick it needs, but where do you start? I honestly am a person who doesn't want to end up griping about how bad everything is - but not prepared to do anything about it - that's why I use my vote, give feedback and criticism when required - it's in the hope that it can cause something to happen, who knows? It's worth a try.

Don't get me wrong either, this forum has become my natural haunt (note the recently accquired red name) and I enjoy the fun stuff as well as the debate, but there DOES seem to be something missing since the Corpses were shutdown. It's akin to drifitng around rudderless and becalmed in a middle of an ocean with a map but no navigational system - you may have an idea of where you want to go, but without the breeze to push you, or a sense of direction, you are still stranded and effectively lost.

Don't get too excited, Ewar - I can (and do)still talk crap at regular intervals. (Ask my partner! Or anyone on this forum, of course...) No, all I meant by that was that I spent an almost surreally high proportion of my twenties single.
