I got my clock to show the time and date

He did seem to get a bit exercised that you knew his name though.

Wot a wally!

He's the second person I have done that to. The first one went ape-tulip and actually made a complaint.

And a different train this morning too.

It was on time to the second.

No good will come of this.

You're right. It does not bode well.

Lulling you into a false sense of security, they are.

Ah yes. My sister made off with my copy of Clockwork Orange. Can't say I missed it much.

Apparently the US edition, the one that the film got made from, didn't have the final chapter that's in the UK edition, thus making it seem a tad bleaker than it already was.

As to Androids, er, it isn't quite like the film, I think you'll find.

Indeed, it is different, I now see.

But that's OK. I knew the film was inspired by the book, rather than based on it.

Some of the dialogue is identical (the bit where he first meets Rachel springs to mind)

I love PKD.
