Hi everybody :D

I just got my first adult passport in the post

Thanks to the Home Office, it was processed in a swift 5 months of back and forth documentation, finding one flaw after a systemic other.

Both pictures signed, send it all back.

Its in blue ink, send it back.

We changed the policy on what the term first passport means in the meantime, surely you heard? Send more documentation.

5 months. 48 page jumbo passport, so much hope for the future and the possibility.

Now what

Damn you all to hell, now I have to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey, I have not watched it for several years now.

Actually said during the opening of the film "2010: Odyssey 2".

Saw that film the other day, just not have seen the first one in a few years.

What kind of car?

i wish this would happen during a boring department meeting at my job lol

Morning all... Had dinner las night at the equinox restaurant on the 70th floor, and just woken up and about to leave for universal studios on sentosa island.. Last day in singapore, fly out to KL tomorrow morning. Had an awesome time in SG so far, my mate surprised me on Friday for my birthday by hiring out a private yacht for the night, was pretty sweet. Could quite easily see my myself moving to SG.

how did a dildocopter video morph into sci-fi film references? rofl

I've seen it here and there since the age of 10, and now at 48. It's almost a different film every time seen. So much interesting stuff going on in it and how it was made.

They send you another notice saying the whole passport system has been scrapped. A new system incorporating a microchip scanner / card reader is now being implemented which requires you to redo the whole application process. That process includes a series of appointments at various locations for character evaluation, a complete physical (the white glove & lube examination - cough cough), detailed background check, 5 verified references for both personal and professional, 10 year tax record, etc. etc.

To top it all off, they inform you that there's a 2 year waiting period for all the info to be reviewed before they can determine if you're actually approved for the new passport.

sharks with frikkin lazer beams on their heads.

Which was a recap of the first movie - 2001 A Space Odyssey. That phrase was actually spoken by Dr. David Bowman towards the end of the first movie, just before he went on the Cosmic Ride with the Black Monolith.

That's weirdly the 3rd time today I have encountered that phrase on the Interweb.

What are you doing Dave. I'm afraid I can't let you do that Dave.

Really sucks for the guy at work called Dave because I always go up to him and quote that line.
Yes I even put on the voice

I added a popup message "Good Morning, Dave" every time you started our computer program at work. But nobody got the joke so I removed it again several days later.

Likes have been given.

Now I must sleep.

No. No. No.

It is never, ever uttered in the film. It's in the novel. I'm positive.....


Edit: After Bowman disconnects HAL and hears the 'secret message', there is absolutely no further dialogue in the film at all.
