Some of them useful, some on them not. Like self cleaning underwear. In theory, it sounds great, but the last thing you want close to your taters is a squeegee and dry that’s gone berserk. Three people were hospitalised on the first day alone.” Dave was shocked for a moment. “That’s terrible, Hol. So, what’s new with the holographic tech?” “Two days ago, before you came out of stasis, we ran into a holoship. It was crewed by 50 holograms. We now have a holoflex 4.0 that can generate up to 400 holograms.” Dave digests this for a moment. His mind jumps to the possibilities. He thinks of Kristine Kochanski. “That’s great, Hol! I can’t wait for you to create the crew. Do you have everything you need? Everything you need to bring back Kochanski?”

He built an amazing website, a free website, for runners, swimmers, bikers, walkers and everyone else. Training, blogs, forum, games, #fetchfam, statistics, photos, calculators, leagues, targets, this website had everything you could possibly want or need. You could run a lot, or not at all, blog a lot, or not at all, swim a lot, or not at all, everyone was equally welcomed. And welcoming. Everything was visible to everyone, no paywalls, all for free. And then one day Ian woke up and said “I want to be more like ~~strava~~ ” and suddenly it cost £15 a month just to log on and look at your own data

A luxurious boat trip along the Nile lay ahead. He was looking forward to it immensely. He soon came to know his travelling companions- a beautiful, young, newly married couple; their close friend; a rich, elderly American and her downtrodden niece; a ridiculous young bounder, and the rest. They were an interesting bunch, but there was undoubtedly a sense of menace lurking beneath the banal surface. Poirot sensed trouble ahead and did his best to ratchet up the tension by talking about this at every opportunity. To his dismay, his fears were completely unfounded. Everyone had a wonderful holiday, the food was exceptional, and no-one died. In fact, no-one really knew who this little fussy Belgian was, but all agreed he was a bit of a busybody.
