Tonight is no different, with a business-related meal lined up. Sounds cushy, but best behaviour stuff, so quite the opposite of calming.
I've a couple of ideas in blogger's draft tray, but when they get round to be written is anyone's guess. Here's something interesting spotted today during a brief downtime, though, in a curious yet uncanny kind of way (click to enlarge pic).
It's from this 1979 book and is impressively accurate apart, maybe, for the robot. Oh, and the idea that the consumption of drinks in the home would be as natural to the comprehensively health-terrified 21st century citizen as it was to the more relaxed 70s version, of course.

Not so far off. They knew there would be no smokers - no cigarettes and no ashtrays :>(
Your first paragraph neatly (or ironically?) contrasts with the last paragraph on the left.

flew Before Computer? I swear these things are coming alive.
Yep, pretty accurate on the tech front. Less so on the sartorial. Why do these 'vision of the future' things always dress everyone like Buck Rogers?
DerekP: Good point, but I have to admit that most of the travelling was non work-related but booked a while ago, unfortunately coinciding with a hectic couple of months business-wise.
Just had to point out, in case any vegans or PETA tyoes are reading, that I ate Kangaroo steak for the first time tonight. Yes, really. And I'm bouncing off the walls it was so superb! ;)
The thing that really separates the dream from the reality is the fact there aren't masses of AC-DC chargers everywhere.
....and that the man is dressed in a sporting condom and not lying on a couch infront of the wide screen in his boxers with a bag of doritos..
Well - small mercy -. at least footballers are still playing hand ball.

It is pretty good eating. And it can be bought over here!
Actually, thinking about it, 1989 was a good year for shellsuits.
Kangaroo seems like perfectly fine eating as does Ostrich and, for shame, i've never had rabbit. In fact, i shall attempt that soon.
Nice one for productive outlay DP - much appreciate this blog and can fully acknowledge the effort you put in. Cheers!
"..and, for shame, i've never had rabbit."
You're missing a treat!
