According to the Daily Telegraph, a future trends analyst has foretold that in the future (2359) drinkers entering a pub will be able to order their drink before they have reached the bar. This will be due to the fact we will all have microchips embedded under the skin.
Ben Hourahaine, the future trends analyst in question - who sounds more like a prophet of doom - also believes that this microchip will also keep a tally of the number of units consumed.
Oh boy, whats the betting that this microchip will not just be keeping a tally of your units? The state is quite capable of thinking up ways to know everything about us without people like this helping them!
Two points: At the present rate of pub closures it is highly unlikely there will be any pubs left in just a year or two, let alone 2359. Secondly, thank the Lord, I won't be around then. (Unless of course I am recycled as a punishment for failing to acknowledge the greatness of the second Saviour of the World).
Afterthought: On the basis that what was good enough for the first Saviour of the World must be good enough for the second - anyone got some spare wood, nails and a hammer?
