Cheshire Setter Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 You’re just being a bit paranoid. I can’t see anything wrong with local Warrington councillor Scaramanga’s plan to harness the power of the sun, nothing sinister in it...

Perhaps we are being charitable and sending you some of our sunshine to try to brighten up your side of the mountains a bit! Yorkshire folk are very generous people you know!

And Philip K Dick also wrote a few shorts that were the basis for movies such as Minority Report and The Adjustment Bureau. Not a sci-fi fan per se, but I love a movie based on such themes as PKDs short stories. I’m currently just getting into Black Mirror on Netflix too... classic already!

Not a sci-fi fan per se, but I love a movie based on such themes as PKDs short stories. I’m currently just getting into Black Mirror on Netflix too... classic already! Blade Runner did get its ideas from Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? but the storyline in Blade Runner is actually the secondary storyline in the book. The title refers to the fact that in the fictional future world there are no living animals and animals are in fact robotic versions. The main character's ultimate dream in life is to own a real animal, hence the title asking whether androids would dream of owning artificial animals. The two films you mention are based on PKD stories as are films such as A Scanner Darkly (my personal favourite of his books), Total Recall (based on a story called, 'We Can Remember it for you Wholesale'), Paycheck, Screamers and many others. Check out the tv series 'The Man in the High Castle' as well, based on his novel of the same name. It is about American society if the axis had have won world war two, carving America up into the Japanese western zone and the Nazi eastern zone. PKD is my favourite author. Massive sci-fi geek in terms of classic sci-fi novels, let me know if you want any recommendations! Anyway this isnt the book thread, this is about Warrington having to steal beautiful Yorkshire sunlight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I've enjoyed the bantz but this is quite a courageous and forward-thinking thing for a local authority to be doing, especially against a backdrop of local government cuts. I have long believed we should make better use of Warrington's sun-drenched climate. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.
