The Vogon in Itch-hikers Guide actually said 'useless' - and he was the spitting image of our ex- housing exec Councillor, Charlie Hedges. Bleedin crook he was!

Bought a couple of his books including Neuromancer a few tile years ago - got half-way through it and threw both of them away. They'd been written for nasty little acting-tough -type youngsters who like everything extreme in the extreme, riddled with nasty social sub-divisions each with its own tranche of pier-pressure and everything very gory! YUK! Anyway. I'm gonna build a model Borg ship as a kinetic sculpture when I get my workshop sorted out and a small well ding machine. I've got a huge quantity of motors, Solly Noids and other electronic and mechanical components and materials and I intend to have it full of lamps, LEDs and moving parts so that it reacts to its environment - sound - light - movement detected ultrasonically. That sort of thing. Then when I have visitors, I'll not tell em about it, show em into the living room and let it scare them!!
