I keep meaning to make and patent a carrier bag carrying device
That would enable you to hold 3 bags in each hand without them fucking your fingers up.

I use a bicycle with Panniers
How do they work? I wonder if they are like my idea.

panniers go on the back of a bike
to carry stuff. I think they were invented a long time ago

Bugger this for a packet of biscuits
I may retire to bed with a good book.

I already ate half a pack of biscuits
made me feel a bit sick, I advise against it

what book? I need to check your meaning of 'good'

I can eat an inordinate number of biscuits and never feel sick.
This makes me better than you.

He spoke engaginly and with infectious enthusiasm
enough for me to spend £12.99 on his book and ad my name to the mailing list for his League of Pragmatic Optimists. It may be all tosh, but it's nice to hear some one with a positive view of both the future and the things technology has done and can do for us. It reminded me of what I enjoyed about reading sci fi.

or watching Tomorrow's World?
I don't think I've read anything with a proper Utopia in it for ages. Working through the Oxford book of science fiction, so there must be one inthere, it was big in the 60s

Have you read Iain Banks' Culture Books
that's a good techno-utopia.

Tomorrows world was pants, but I know what you mean.
(, Wed 20 Jul 2011, 22:44, Reply)
I have read all of them, yeah I suppose that is utopia
I'd not thought of it like that so much, I always associate utopia with cloying do-gooding futures, like Ursula le Guin. Banks does it with way more flair and doesn't claim it to be completely flawless.

If you're going to slag off my Ursula I really will go to bed
Good night K-V my faithful servant.

I was not slagging her off as such
