Property prices would plummet, I'd imagine. All those... undesirables!

they'd get a parking ticket within 20 seconds

One of them would be stabbed in the neck(s) outside Walkabout on Upper Street

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:02 (twenty-two years ago)

they'd pop into the Walkabout for a quick pint and..well..so much for interplanetary relations...

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:04 (twenty-two years ago)

They'd open up an antique shop selling over-priced intergalactic nicknacks and bibelots

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:07 (twenty-two years ago)

they would take over the bodies and minds of Keane and put weedy British AOR back on track

"so this famous Angel is a Wetherspoons pub???? Straight back to Alpha Centauri for us then!"

― MarkH (MarkH), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Go into Reckless Records and say, "Fuck me, I can buy it NEW for less than that!" Then straight back to Alpha Centauri.

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 28 May 2004 11:44 (twenty-two years ago)

They could open an antique shop, but I think they should open a small bistro selling a watered down version of their home cuisine.

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 28 May 2004 13:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe they would assimilate:

"Could you tell me what the best intergalactic learning academies are around here? Where do you send your pod?"

"Actually Jupiter's very nice at this point in the solar cycle. The bit we went to wasn't touristy at all. If you stick to the moons, rather than the main planet, it's still very unspoilt."

― Anna (Anna), Friday, 28 May 2004 14:02 (twenty-two years ago)

"it's not as nice as Ealing, bit of a dump really, come on jhfjurhfj let's go home"

"yeah, I think you're right"

― jel -- (jel), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:04 (twenty-two years ago)

"haha your iPod isn't measured in TERABYTES??????"

― ken c (ken c), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there some version of Moore's Law that predicts when iPods will be able to carry more music than has ever been recorded, even including tapes of your 13-yr old cousin practicing Chopsticks?

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 28 May 2004 15:15 (twenty-two years ago)

it depends on whether the rate of which extra recordings of music is produced is higher or lower than doubling every two years.. and if lower the year will be.

(current year) + ((current difference between ipod capacity and amount of music in the world) / (ipod capacity increase per year i.e. 1.4142 according to moores law - rate of which amount music is increased))
