Which disaster movie/book...

[Quixoticgeek]

Another part of Cast Away I find fascinating is 'Wilson'.

Extended times away from home and particularly in a lonely environment, it is quite bizarre how you can get an emotional attachment to things...

Agreed. I found I was spending a lot of time on trains with the only company being my pack. I've named her Alice.

These days I spend a lot of time in the company of my Brompton, we've done many thousands of miles together. I keep thinking she should have a name, but in the 8 years and thousands of miles, I've yet to find a suitable name for her.

But I digress from the topic.

Call me odd but I always had something like Luna (as in Lunar cycle) as a name for a folding bike, also they both wax and wane in size. (Or just pick.a moon goddess, Artemis, Diana & so on).
Sorry I too tend to anthropomorphise things in my head.

Luna, I like it. I think you may have just named my Brompton.

You shouldn't Anthropomorphise things, they don't like it

Yes William my billhook often tells me off for doing that.


Glad you like the Luna name. I used to have a racing bike called Loviatar as a youngster. She was a Persian goddess of pain and I used to hurt after the training I did with.her.

"Death of Grass" Was also done as a film. Iv read the book and seen the film (on youtube ) The book was great and I really enjoyed reading it, The film was good too but made on a low budget and there were some differences from the book. Worth watching

The Edge, good scenery but extremely improbable.
