The other day I saw a book in there written by Tom Hanks, I think it is called 'uncommon Type'. I bought it for £1, the original price was £9; When I think of Tom Hanks, I also think of Zoltar the furtune telling vending machine from the movie called 'Big'. I saw a real Zoltar machine once, near Waterloo bridge in an arcade by the river Thames in London; it looked very different from the movie one though, it spoke a lot and it was more animated but it was wearing the same hat. It also gives you a furtune token just like in the movie.
When I think of Zoltar, I also think of Zapomatic the Robot from the Dark ride called 'The 5th Dimension' at Chessington world of adventures in the 90s. I imagined Zapomatic and Zoltar sitting at a table and having a cup of tea and talking about the news. Zapomatic would be the Logical Bot and Zoltar would be the gifted but irrational one. They would ask for my opinion and I would say I'm just annoyed that one person took a family Booth table for themselves at Wetherspoon's. If you're American, Wetherspoon's is a pub chain, it is a bit like the English version McDonald's, but they serve beer, coffee and English food. I wonder if they will expand into America like McDonald's has in the UK.
