Make Mine A Karma Koffee - Phoenix Karma

Good luck!

Why do you feel the need to make the hottest curry in the world if you know you'll prolly suffer later because of it?

 

When asked why he wanted to climb Everest, British climber George Mallory replied, "Because it's there". He died soon after....

 

Do you think mankind will ever colonise space ?

 

sal you edited my signature!!!!!!
you big bumface
next tim ei see you i shall enact revenge...10 fold..

 

Well it's fair, you did win the Pooball Prize! Just changed it to reflect the facts....

 

Bump

 

I hope so. I think we'd better get our first house in order before we do that. But I think, with the technology, there could be a lot of potential in space colonisation. It could solve problems of over population and our finite resources and it could be a great boost to our scientific knowledge and help to explain where we come from and whether or not we are alone in the universe. I'll admit, I'm a slight Trekkie. It's an ideal, a utopia, and if we can realise it, then it would be no bad thing for humanity as a whole....

 

SLIGHT Trekkie, Sal? Don't cut yourself so short there dear

What's your favorite thing about star trek? And who's your favorite captain?

 

I'm not a proper Trekkie, I don't go to conventions or put on silly ears, I just happen to enjoy the programme is all! Probably best thing about the show is the interplay between the characters, especially with long plot arcs and political/moral undertones as in some series; and occasionally some of the alien races, which are quite well developed. Favourite captain - Picard, by a long way. I've met him you know, and not at a bloody convention!

 

I remember you telling me about that awhile back... Where did you meet him then?

 

He'd come to debate at the Cambridge Union. He's a big Labour supporter. Though I disagreed with him, and didn't think the debate was up to much, I was, of course, only there to see him. Sat right behind him too. Could see my face reflected in his shiny head....

 

What was the debate?

 

This house has no confidence in her majesty's government. It's an annual debate, but it's usually a pretty limited and dry debate for lefties, ending up being a Labour vs. Tories debate with no real extremes of opinion....

 

Well, at least you got to meet him!


Do you wear any jewelry, like necklaces or rings?

 

I wear one pendant. It's a phoenix, carved from Machu Picchu stone, that I picked up from my travels in Peru, and I wear it for symbolic reasons more than aesthetic....

 

I think you showed me a picture of it way back, now that you mention it I remember you talking about it also...

How are you feeling today?

 

Hungover. It's been a strange couple of days. Everyone at college is really sad because someone there died recently. Such a shame....

 

That's odd, that's happened here this week. My friend's grandmother died on Monday, and another friend's parents finalized their divorce, with is a death in a way...

Did you grow up in a happy family, where both your parents were present?

 

Both my parents were and are present. Family life has always been relatively stable and pretty happy. Comfortable upbringing, close relationship with my parents, strong friendship with my sister, slight rivalry with my brother, nothing to complain about really

 

Who means more to you, your father or mother ?
