Is it worth being born?

[Ollie]

I concluded that the good bits were very very good, the bad bits could be very very bad, most of it was middling and sort of forgettable.
I concluded that you dont have to believe in God to be spiritual and most people who believe in God are religeous.
I concluded that religeous people are religeous because they are terrified of hell, I concluded that the spritual people are spiritual because they have already been there.

Whould your opinion be different if you where dead???

All I remember is that when it was happening I thought, "get this thing from round my neck". "Why is it so hot in here" "Ah, bright lights", "Then I cried..."

Here are my fav Famous Last Words

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched sea beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time
Like tears in rain.

-- Rutger Hauer, as Roy, in Blade Runner

PS Did you know that the above lines were improvised ?

PPS Also Bladerunner is Alfs fav film of all time

PPPS No - Im not a replicant - but are these memorys real - or just implants ?

Should be
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate.

Did you know that R. Scott is bringing out yet another version? - to be called "the Ultimate Cut". I much preferred the original version, the one with Harrison Ford's narration.
I think they may bring out a boxed set with ALL the versions included.

Hmm - I always thought it was C-beams. Still, I'll defer if it's your fave.

EDIT: Darn, sorry KathyWoolfe. Didn't see your correction.

Let's hope it's BluRay or HDDVD or something - I believe the originals are still decent enough to make a better-than-DVD version.

How many people on their death bed actually ask themselves "**** me, was it all really worth it?"

no.

It’s good to be alive provided that:
- You’re a contractor earning >£500 p.d.
- You’re off Hector’s radar
- You’re not married
- You’re not divorced (& therefore off the CSA’s radar)
- You have <6 points on your licence (but hard to do in the United Kingdom of Gatsos)
- You get regular sex without paying for it
- Your long-term partner doesn’t argue with you (and what would be the point, as you’re always right)
- Aston Villa win the FA Cup at least once in your lifetime
- It becomes legal to give Jehovah’s Witnesses a thrashing within an inch of their miserable lives
- Public flogging/humiliation of MPs and council officials is introduced
- Big Brother is spiced up: rejected contestants undergo disembowelment on TV

I’m sure the venerable contributors to this board can think of a few more, but if the above can be fixed then yes, I would say that life has been worth it.

Milk and Cookies been keeping you awake Kathy ?

I do apologise - yes it ought ot have been C-Beams given the replicant in question Millitary background.

And yes I also prefer the Voice Over with the Vangelis music in the forefront.

Have you not have sex ?
