*confirms suspicion that Flashy might be a replicant
Alexa has told me there will be a vaguely dystopian outlook with persistent rain.
i thought this was another brexit thread.
Ah this is the dystopia Johnson was aiming for today.
Flying car lands so that the occupant can use a phone box.
Will have to watch it again over the weekend.

I checked a while back 😉
Fasthaggis: You're in a desert, walking along in the sand when all of the sudden-
Flashy: Is this the test now?
Fasthaggis: Yes. You're in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down-
Flashy: What one?
Fasthaggis: What?
Flashy: What desert?
Fasthaggis: It doesn't make any difference what desert, it's completely hypothetical.
Flashy: But how come I'd be there?
Fasthaggis: Maybe you're fed up, maybe you want to be by yourself, who knows? You look down and you see a tortoise, Flashheart, it's crawling towards you-
Flashy: Tortoise, what's that?
Fasthaggis: Know what a turtle is?
Flashy: Of course.
Fasthaggis: Same thing.
Flashy: I've never seen a turtle -- But I understand what you mean.
Fasthaggis: You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back Leon.
Flashy: Do you make up these questions, Mr. Haggis, or do they write them down for you?
Fasthaggis: The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can't, not without your help, but you're not helping.
Flashy: What do you mean I'm not helping?
Fasthaggis: I mean, you're not helping. Why is that Flashheart? -- They're just questions, Flashheart. In answer to your query, they're written down for me. It's a test, designed to provoke an emotional response. -- Shall we continue? Describe in single words, only the good things that come in to your mind about... your mother.
Flashy: My mother?
Fasthaggis: Yeah.
Flashy: Let me tell you about my mother...
Ah this is the dystopia Johnson was aiming for today.
Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it?
Fasthaggis: I mean, you’re not helping. Why is that Leon?
Flashy: Who’s Leon?

Have another go Haggis - Fasthaggis: You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back Leon.
He’s always on about the best wireless headphones for the off world colonies too!!😀
So glad I'm not the only one that realised today was important to any Blade Runner fan!
I’m in Seoul this week shooting the neon at night with Boards of Canada on my headphones so I feel like I’m actually living in the Blade Runner future we were promised. Nearly.
It is raining, and dark...
Nearly, as in its not raining in Seoul?
Still waiting for the flying cars and sex robots...

can't help you with the car but I'm selling a second hand Roomba in the classifieds.
Right now it is Bladerunner day we may see some flying cars.
[puts up hand]
I'd like to start a new life in the off-world colonies please, a golden land of opportunity....wait, where have heard that before?

Yeah you needed Vangelis, not BoC. But given the choice I'd say you made the right call.
