I think a lot of those old comics and Sci Fi films had more than a little insight of the future but hopefully Dan Dare's little green Mekon men
won't be visiting any time soon. How many would like to borrow Marty Mcfly's Delorean time travel carfrom "Back to the future movie", just
think going back to the fifties knowing what you know now, life would be a doddle, all those mistakes that had to be made so that we learnt
from would be done and dusted, the benefits are endless, being in the right place at the right time etc, how good would that have been cheers.

Hi Keith, the RN has to do something, according to the newspapers there is a shortage of personnel. One of the D class hasn't moved for four years.
Fancy a job? Lol

Apparently, It will also be possible to equip the boat with a General Purpose Machine Gun,
that will be controlled by a human operator back on the main ship, allowing the Pacific 24
to be sent into dangerous situations without a risk to life.

Latest with Drones is using them to put out fires on high rise buildings.
The hose is attached to the Drone which can then go to any part of a building and drench accordingly.
The possibilities of the is endless.
