'Contains Mild Peril'

I think this should be the label on most things in life!88|
I couldn't resist an hour's TV because I knew what a weird mix were in the Celebrity Big Brother house. Not sure if it counts as mild peril, but I saw an ad for the new penguin documentary film that religious America see as so meaningful. I was delighted by the warning on the film ad that it 'Contains Mild Peril'!:))
Sounds a bit like proof of the 'political correctness gone mad' that we keep hearing about. Earlier I'd heard very nice defence of much that is called 'pc' by Roy Hattersley. Unsurprising to anyone who's got my measure, I preferred his contributions to 'Any Questions' than Kelvin McKenzie's!


 
 

Paths not taken etc.

Of course! :idea:I knew there was something similar I'd heard - It was the Bacon number - Thanks, Timsuzi!:>>

I too like the butterfly thing,kickflip and all the path not taken stuff.

Although a bit naff, I enjoyed the 'Sliding Doors' film and have read similar stuff.

Alternative universe scenarios do open up all sorts of possibilities along these lines. I think Phillip K Dick does that sort of thing brilliantly. One of the sub-plots in 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' that isn't in 'Bladerunner' is really good as is the premise of 'Flow My Tears the Policeman Said'. I also love the humour of 'Back to the Future' and 'Peggy-Sue Got Married'. I rather fancy idea of reliving some past life knowing what I do now and seeing what happens, but also knowing I can be whisked back into my current reality!
