Personally I’d borrow Marty McFly’s hoverboard...

I'd listen to Prince.

I've lived through 1984 and 2001. I shall survive.

That's not Prince, that's Gloria Gaynor!

Actually we're all f**ked.
I just checked out 2019 in the Hollywood timeline and discovered two key things.
1. The human race is now 99% vampires.
2. Caesar just gave ALZ-113 to the apes and they've all gone super-intelligent.
It's coming folks. And we're 18 years past the point where Bill and Ted used the world's nuclear arsenal to fuel their amplifiers.... and no sign of world peace yet...

I'm going to party like it's 1999, once I find that jacket with the rolled-up sleeves that I thought made it look like I'd strode confidently from an episode of Miami Vice though with hindsight shouted that I had stumbled out of a branch of Burtons with a bag of bad purchasing decisions.
Oh shit, that was 1989.
In 1999 we all lived on the Moon. And for heaven's sake, no one kick that nuclear waste.

I always loved how gravity changed in Space 1999 when they left the moonbase and went outside.

Who DIDNT go to work on a jet-pack today?
I find mine helps keep the bike clean for weekends 8)

Through a navigational mishap on Saturday, we stumbled into Upper Edmonton and the Meridian Water development and the lines of squabbling cars trying to beep their way into Ikea. In the squalling rain, fumes, and twilight, honestly, it was more dystopian than Blade Runner ever was.

I'm looking forward to the Year 3000 (when my great-great-great-granddaughters will hopefully be pretty dead, not pretty fine).

You should have said. I'd have popped over to help you point and laugh.

Went to a screening on the 2nd (shame they didn't do it on the 1st) in the somewhat derelict Abbeydale Picturehouse

Felt very Bradbury Building.

The mistake wasn't really ours, we were following the route of Pymmes Brook Trail, which in olden times took you on an adventure to Edmonton Green. But shiny new signs have appeared, so new they have yet to be misleadingly twisted by wayward local youth, guiding the unwary traveller away from the route inked on the trusty OS map to a sparkly new route.
Which would have been nice had the signs not run out at the edge of Meridian Water development. There's is a new train station (who knew, apparently no one as it was empty) and the Tesco had cake and, more importantly, didn't have cold, trouser-soaking rain. Drivers were still fighting outside when we left. I suspect it never, ever stops.
It was enough sustenance to get us the final league to Pressure Drop.

Was Toots there? Did he contrast the dystopia or blend right in?
