Author Topic: Is Michael Schaffer psychic? Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-18-2005 01:43 AM                        On the chat board last night, Michael wrote 'Don't they turn the power off in Yorkshire after 9pm?'. Before I was able to reply, my ADSL connection dropped (presumably because the exchange had just gone down). About a minute later, all the power did indeed go off, and then stayed off for about two hours! The cut must have hit quite a bit of the city, too, because I looked out of the front door and couldn't see any street lights anywhere. So Michael, when will 35mm projection disappear? Who will be the next president? Which side will win The Ashes (not that predicting that will be very difficult, sadly)? Do tell...  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

After all, Leo you live in a third world country, stuff like that is just likely to happen. I will be happy to answer your other burning questions as well: 35mm projection will be predominant for at least 12 years more. The next US President will be Arnold Schwarzenegger. What is "The Ashes"?  |  IP: Logged Dick Vaughan Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1032 From: Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-18-2005 08:50 AM                        Leo Surely if Michael was psychic he would have answered these questions before you posted them  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 05-18-2005 10:07 AM                        One day I lost my mind. I think Michael found it.  |  IP: Logged Gunnar Johansson Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Gothenburg, Sweden Registered: Mar 2003 posted 05-18-2005 12:09 PM                        "The Ashes" is the bi-annual cricket test match between Australia and England, where the winner gets the "ashes" said to be the ashes of cricket, or a cricket wicket. It´s a big deal in these two countries, and if I´m psychic enough I´m guessing Australia, but it´s up to you Michael. Any corrections welcome. A swede explaining cricket to an american german... That´s what I get for being an anglophile and listening to my sis, now living in London.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 05-18-2005 01:06 PM                        It therefore follows that there will be a constitutional amendment before 2008 to allow a naturalized US citizen to be elected President.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 05-18-2005 03:36 PM                        Nah. Arnie doesn't stand a chance. 'Governator' has a certain ring to it, but what would we call him if he becomes the President? Gunnar - if your sister is brave enough to venture into darkest Yorkshire, there are still seats available for the Bangladesh match at Headingley (we don't bite up here, even if there is the occasional power cut).  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-18-2005 03:50 PM                     quote: Leo Enticknap ...but what would we call him if he becomes the President?
