Café Frequenters episode 162
--------------------------------------------
Hello Dearest Maud! here come a snippet of actions story of the pulp fiction kind... admit it you were waiting for the next episode... Warning! this story is not suitable for the younger human creatures since it contains soft-gore! (don´t read it to your daughter until she is at least 18!)
Jimmy studied the victim, he had turned off all non-biological enhancements since he was afraid that some foreign secret service had installed some spy-ware, since the bio-scan had run haywire...
..so there he was studying the you lad he had just knocked out...
...why did he ask so many questions? he wouldn´t have to had knocked him out if he wasn´t so inquisitive, he was a charming you guy... actually he had to admit that he was better looking than himself, and he spoke in a weird and gentle way...
What to do now? jimmy thought, he couldn´t let him live, when he would wake up, there would be trouble... he could absorb him, but that would mean him turning on his infra-tech again... what if the supposed spy-were had taken control of the absorber...
...another thing that scared him was that he have never used the absorber before, but he remembered when a fellow agent once absorbed a victim at a lunatic asylum, he turned even more loony that the nutter he absorbed, Jimmy had to kill him and grind him down and flush him down the lunatic-asylum WC-porcelain stool...
... but this young man was so handsome and so charming that it would probably improve his statistics, his mind his looks....
Jimmy turned on the absorber, it seemed not to be affected by the enemy malware...
...his mouth started to frown and saliva formed small stings, he started to cocoon first the victim, then himself then joining them together...
luckily none of the café frequenters seemed to need the toilet, but jimmy had a backup plant, if he had too he would climb up the ceiling and unscrew the lightbulb and hide up in the shadows...
...now they both had started to dissolve the important part would be when they were both totally dissolved was to get all the undissolved tech at the right spots that needed careful planning...
He had to focus all of his dissolving brain on to the process
when the final calculations was made it was time for a merger, jimmy was really afraid, would his old persona become the dominant?
no time to care about that, this was way beyond the regret-phase, the last thoughts his brain had before it all became black was the youths beautiful eyes, his charming, smile...
Barrow in Furness, 6M19, a Hoo Junction - Barrow Ramsden Dock freight is backed into the docks terminal on 12 August 1999 by 37676.
This train provided a connection between two Kimberly Clark Mills involved in the manufactures of tissues (Andrex, Kleenex etc) from diagonally opposite ends of England, Northfleet in Kent and Barrow in Furness. The management of EWS tried very hard to make wagonload pay (never mind environmentally sustainable full trainloads like this one) but this service unfortunately suffered poor rail connections at both ends. In common with most of British industry the papermills on the Northfleet embankment were rail connected but were allowed to wither away at this time.
Closure of Salthouse junction 'box in 1992 resulted - as usual - in a short sighted replacement that assumed all freight would come from the north. This meant that a freight from Carnforth could no longer run straight into Barrow docks but had to run round in Barrow CS, come back to the junction, release and operate the ground frame, reverse from the up to down line and then into the docks. Then bring the train here to facilitate road transfers to the Barrow Mill. EWS - despite some good intentions - added to the problem with late arrivals and poor quality stock. There were instances of van doors being difficult and sometimes impossible to open with some vans returning still loaded! So no-one was surprised that this traffic was lost to Rail. Ironically, and annoyingly the destination of the road transfers from Ramsden dock was Ormsgill four miles away, but right next to the Cumbrian coast line.
According to the ABP website at this time, around 60,000 tonnes of wood pulp per year is transported to Kimberly Clark by road from the port, though this now arrives by ship. Both the Barrow and the Northfleet mills still operate today but rail transport between them will never return.
37676 was sold on by EWS in 2007 to West Coast Railways and entered service just down the road at Carnforth the following year.

Remains of an old pulp mill in Harper's Ferry, W.Va.
There's not a lot left of this one. It was shut down during the Depression for lack of product demand, and then torn apart by a flood shortly after.
The pulp hero magazine “The Phantom Detective” came out in February 1933, two years after “The Shadow” and a month before “Doc Savage.” The title continued until 1953 for a total of 170 issues. Wealthy Richard Curtis Van Loan is secretly the Phantom Detective, respected crime-solver and master of disguise and escape, along with his sidekick, Chip Dorian. The Phantom was the obvious inspiration for Batman (who first appeared in May 1939) and, like Batman, the Phantom had a Bat-Signal, a red beacon on the roof of the Clarion building.

Blonde and blue-eyed American actress Uma Thurman (1970) is best known for her roles in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction (1994), Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004) and was hailed as Tarantino's muse. Furthermore, she starred in a wide variety of films, from romantic comedies and dramas to science fiction and action films.
Uma Karuna Thurman was born in 1970 in Boston, Massachusetts, into a highly unorthodox and internationally-minded family. She is the daughter of Nena Thurman (née Birgitte Caroline von Schlebrügge), a fashion model and socialite who now runs a mountain retreat, and of Robert Thurman (Robert Alexander Farrar Thurman), a professor and academic who is one of the nation's foremost Buddhist scholars. Uma grew up in Amherst, Massachusetts, where her father worked at Amherst College. Thurman's household was one in which The Dalai Lama was an occasional guest; she and her siblings all have names deriving from Buddhist mythology; and Middle American behaviour was little understood, much less pursued. And so it was that the young Thurman confronted childhood with an odd name and eccentric home life - and nature seemingly conspired against her as well. She is six feet tall, and from an early age Uma towered over everyone else in her class. The family constantly relocated, making the gangly, socially inept Thurman perpetually the new kid in class. The result was an exceptionally awkward, self-conscious, lonely, and alienated childhood. Unsurprisingly, the young Thurman enjoyed making believe she was someone other than herself, and so thrived at acting in school plays. This interest, and her lanky frame, perfect for modeling, led the 15-year-old Thurman to New York City for high school and modeling work (including a layout in Glamour Magazine) as she sought acting roles. The roles soon came. She made her film debut in the teen thriller Kiss Daddy Goodnight (Peter Ily Huemer, 1987). It was followed by Terry Gilliam's interesting box office bomb, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), starring John Neville. She made a brief appearance as the goddess Venus, and during her entrance, she briefly appears nude, in an homage to Botticelli's 'The Birth of Venus'. Then followed her breakthrough in Dangerous Liaisons (Stephen Frears, 1988) from a screenplay by Christopher Hampton, which was based on the 1782 French novel 'Les liaisons dangereuses' by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The period romantic drama, starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeiffer, brought much attention to her unorthodox sensuality. Her performance intriguingly combined innocence and worldliness. The weird, gangly girl became a sex symbol virtually overnight.
Uma Thurman continued to be offered good roles in Hollywood pictures into the early 1990s, the least commercially successful but probably best-known of which was her smoldering, astonishingly-adult performance as June, Henry Miller's wife, in Henry & June (Philip Kaufman, 1990), the first film to actually receive the dreaded NC-17 rating in the USA. After a celebrated start, Thurman's career stalled in the early 1990s with films such as the mediocre Mad Dog and Glory (John McNaughton, 1993) with Robert De Niro. Worse, her first starring role was in Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (Gus Van Sant, 1993), which had endured a tortured journey from cult-favorite book to big-budget film and was a critical and financial debacle. Uma bounced back with a brilliant performance as Mia Wallace, that most unorthodox of all gangster's molls, in Tarantino's lauded, hugely successful Pulp Fiction (Quentin Tarantino, 1994). For her role, Thurman was nominated for the Academy Award, the BAFTA Award, and the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress. She took little advantage of her new-found fame by choosing not to do any big-budget films for the next three years. She starred in the independent period drama A Month by the Lake (John Irvin, 1995) opposite Vanessa Redgrave and Edward Fox, and supporting roles in which she has lent some glamorous presence to a mixed batch of films, such as Beautiful Girls (Ted Demme, 1996) with Matt Dillon, and The Truth About Cats & Dogs (Michael Lehmann, 1996). She played supervillain Poison Ivy in the reviled Batman & Robin (Joel Schumacher, 1997) with George Clooney, and Emma Peel opposite Ralph Fiennes as John Steed in a remake of The Avengers (Jeremiah Chechik, 1998). She worked with Woody Allen and Sean Penn on Sweet and Lowdown (1999), and starred in Richard Linklater's drama Tape (2001) opposite husband Ethan Hawke. Thurman also won a Golden Globe award for her turn in the made-for-television film Hysterical Blindness (2002), directed by Mira Nair.
A return to the mainstream spotlight came when Uma Thurman re-teamed with Quentin Tarantino for Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003). The two had dreamed up this two-part revenge action film on the set of Pulp Fiction (1994). Thurman starred as the Bride, who swears revenge on a team of assassins (Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, and Vivica A. Fox) and their leader, Bill (David Carradine), after they try to kill her and her unborn child. She then turned up in the John Woo cautioner Paycheck (2003) that same year. The renewed attention was not altogether welcome because Thurman was dealing with the break-up of her marriage with Hawke at about this time. Thurman handled the situation with grace, however, and took her surging popularity in stride. She garnered critical acclaim for her work in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (Quentin Tarantino, 2004) and was hailed as Tarantino's muse. The two Kill Bill films brought her two additional Golden Globe Award nominations. Thurman reunited with Pulp Fiction dance partner John Travolta for the Get Shorty (Barry Sonnenfeld, 1995) sequel Be Cool (F. Gary Gray, 2005). Despite a lukewarm critical reception, the film grossed US$95 million. She played Ulla in the remake of The Producers (Susan Stroman, 2005). In 2006, she was made a Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters (Chevalier De l'Ordre Des Arts Et Des Lettres) by France. For her five-episode role in the musical TV series Smash (2012), Thurman received a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. Her later films include Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac (2013) and The House That Jack Built (2018). She made her Broadway debut in Beau Willimon's political drama 'The Parisian Woman' (2017-2018) at Hudson Theatre. For her role, she won the Broadway.com Audience Award for Favorite Leading Actress in a Play. In 2018, in a New York Times interview, Thurman revealed that Harvey Weinstein had sexually assaulted her in 1994. Uma Thurman was briefly married to Gary Oldman, from 1990 to 1992. In 1998, she married Ethan Hawke, her co-star in the offbeat futuristic thriller Gattaca (Andrew Niccol, 1997). The couple has two children, Levon and Maya. Hawke and Thurman filed for divorce in 2004.
