A vision of Britain.
Ladies and gentlemen, bear with me. Bear with
me please. Don't stop bearing with me for a few moments. I have a vision, a vision of Britain. I see a country peopled by ... a country peopled by people who, who ... people it with charm, with grace, yes even with greatness. As they people it, they enhance it with their lightness, their amusing accents, their v-neck sweaters and their unusual children. This country shall be free and wide and pretty, and their people shall be free and wide and pretty. And there shall be villages and towns and family amusement theme heritage fun parks which shall smell of urine and vomit. And there shall be twelve water and sewage businesses and leisure dromes and huge edge-of-town crematoriums and day-glo bermuda shorts which are flecked with urine and vomit. I see "Impact" as a new kind of flexible high-yield convenient cash and care card for the kind of person you are today and I hear the sound of many thousands of miles of motorways, conveniently filled with many hundreds of thousands of cars whose seats are stained with children and urine and vomit. And the interior of the cars shall be sweaty and hot and bad-tempered and the queue for the exit that leads to the family amusement heritage theme fun park shall be hundreds of miles long. And there shall be shiny magazines out of which will fall many dozens of smaller shiny magazines which shall offer useful electronic golfing equipment and wall safes disguised as three pin sockets and bright security lamps and personal attack alarms and hand freshen-up absorbent pads to soak up the urine and the vomit. And the faces of the people who are peopling this Britain shall be shiny and they shall be flushed and pink for they shall know that they are forging a new Britain of fun and heritage and family leisure amusement and the boot of their car shall easily accomodate the self-assembly fun park that they shall erect in their bathrooms. As yet, it is all only a vision, a vision of family heritage urine and fun leisure amenity vomit. But soon, soon, with luck, sincerity and steadfast voting it may become a reality. |
hahaha, great vision, and not for off from being a reality:P. Maybe, next up, there could be "a vision of Britton (Chris Britton that is)":P.
|
Hehehehehe no...
Dont list our shortcomings infront of people man... :( |
actually, he said Britain, not the Uk, so technically Scotland's not involved...but I consider it all the same thing.
|
Scotland is in Britain.....what are you talking about?
|
Britain, Wales and Scotland are officially seperate. But together they make the UK.
|
Yes......Britain is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales....Together they also make Great Britain.......Great Britain and the United Kingdom are pretty much the same thing....
|
yes, good point, that's why I consider it all the same thing.
|
But you are suggesting I was not including scotland in my speech, when I was, I was including all of Britain/UK.
|
I'm not really sure why I pointed it out, I just did, don't know why...hey, look <distracts Ronn with a "Frost" video>.
|
I've got them all, so I wouldn't need to look:P There Is a new one coming out tomorrow, ITV, 9pm. You might enjoy it.
|
But Torchwood is on at the same time.
|
Tape one of them.
|
I can't, cos the reception without freeview is terrible (REALLY bad) and I can only tape the channel it's switched on to with the freeview.
|
Watch the repeat of Torchwood on BBC Two. Have you seen the trailers on itv?
|
I've seen a couple, I have to say, from what I've seen, it seems to have been slightly modernized for a younger audience.
|
What Frost? How has it been modernised? Trust me Ben, Frost is not aimed at a younger age group:P
Frost has always kept with the times though. It has been going since 1992. after 1998 (Six series') they did one-off specials, 1999 2001 and 2002 saw one two part story shown over the festive period of those years. They did 4 in 2003, spread out over the year. And 2004 and 2005 saw just one episode respectively. Apparently, there are 3 due out this year, the one this Sunday, and a two parter over christmas. Yes it's come a long way, recurring characters have come and gone, and only a few of the original cast are still in it. As follows- Frost (Obviously) Superintendant Mullet DS George Toolan Dr.Simpkins the pathologist(Davros in destiny of the daleks) Dr.McKenzie the crime scene Doctor Sergeant Brady And thats it, don't know why I posted that, just thought you needed to know. |
that's probably what I meant by a younger audience, what I meant was that it was aimed at a new generation of adults...if that makes sense.
