    Re: Just One Wish And One Wish Only

    Does anyone remember a kids 1970’s series called The Tomorrow People? They could teleport themselves around wherever they wanted just by thinking about it – they called it “jaunting”.

    I’d quite like to be able to do that right now. No more 5 hour trips to/from Aberdeen! I could see Beo whenever I wanted and it wouldn't cost a thing And if everyone could do it, we’d have no transport pollution either.

    I loved that program, trivia fact..they were the next "evolutionary step" in mankind's development.. they were called Homo superior IIRC

    in theory that would be nice.. but can you imagine the problems? I'm reaching into the oven, carefully bringing out the red hot pot of veggie bake or something..suddenly Twirly pops into existence in front of me and in fright I end up wearing the aforementioned foodstuffs

    Somehow you'd need to announce your imminent arrival to save me getting scared out of my skin every time you popped up behind me

    another trivia fact.. they did a remake series in the 1990's .. not nearly as good. was like neighbours crossed with doctor who. The modernised it too much. You can go forward.. but you can never go back..

    Probably the best wish I've ever seen:

    "I wish that you wouldn't grant this wish".

    I love it.

    Dear Genie,

    I think I've got pretty much everything I want just now – but I wish for Trouble here to think of a wish that will "light her fire", "goosebumps", etc, etc...

    Many thanks!

    well that just shows you ducasi, the genie does not exist as your wish did not come true, i still can not think of a wish that will be the bestest wish in the whole wide world. But i do think your sweet for wishing it for me but i knew you was sweet anyway.

    with regards the PS.....HELLO.!!!!
