[Wibbles]

 

I'm not so sure about the bio-engineered monkey servants.

Ah. Born in Somerset. The west country accent. Origin of the American accent I believe.

So, you don't eat at Mickey D's then Wibbles?

Tom Hanks could play him in the remake.

I'm not sure about that, but it's certainly the source of the "Pirates' accent". *

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

* From Robert Newton's portrayal of Long John Silver in the film Treasure Island

Once in the last 20 years.

Arthur C Clarke was a genius when it came to envisioning the future.

After all, he predicted 2001 would happen. And it did.

 

I'm reliably informed a movie was made to celebrate his accurate foretelling.

The way things are going, I'm not confident enough to predict that 2023 will happen.

Are you saying there will be no more basses or plugins to be had in 52 days?

Is the real 2012 Armageddon Outta Here?

Hang in there Craig, you can always give plasma if you need a few extra bucks.  Otherwise, don't worry, 2023 will happen. Whether or not you or I will be around to experience it is another story, and old ACC can't predict that, most assuredly.?
