Just an idea (sometimes my head really hurts!!! Fibre Optics
Innocuous, innocent, indispensable? I think not! more like insidious, ingratiating ,and infiltrating. Oh I can hear you saying “what’s he on about, its just a bunch of Linear extruded flexible Glass polymer axial filaments” but then that’s the clever thing about optic fibres, nobody really knows or cares what's actually going on inside them! OK! OK!they are flexible robust and allow light pulse information to be passed down them, but here's the odd thing, nobody ever asks WHY? I mean what's in it for them? See what I mean? Once you start thinking about it, suspicious or what? We have accepted on face value, (or perhaps that should read 'lightface value') that the optic fibre is to be trusted. So much so that we have begun sending all the secrets of our Military and Banking systems down networks of this stuff. We don’t know that much about the bloody Chinese communists, and do we trust them, No! we do not! I can't honestly believe I'm the only sane person who has come to this realisation. I watch the networks of this stuff being installed day after day and I fear for the free world! However I'm an Englishman and we have a reputation for fair play and even handedness, so all I am asking is for people to consider what I am saying and the possible consequences of allowing fibre optics free range of our lives without a certain vigilance on our part. That’s not too much to ask is it? Of course I could be wrong but what happens if I’m right. Oh God! I just realised this is the internet they may be on to me. Don't trus.............................................. Fibre Optics 2
Listen.......I don't have long......I think they're on to me...... I must have been out of my mind to go public, especially on the bloody net, what was I thinking of! Anyway it's out now, so I'll just have to keep on the move as long as I stay away from anything that might contain fibre optics. I can't seem to get anyone to take me seriously, perhaps it's the check suit and ginger hair, I'm so confused. I must stay free and become a focal point for any resistance movements which springs up, There have been further developments I'm now almost certain that there are people (traitors!) who are working ‘hand in glove’ with the fibres, especially people in the communication industry. I've seen the smug way our postmen swaggers about their route, and why are all those men up poles, that can't be right, but it's sneaky because they're pretty damn sure nobody is going to look over their shoulders to see what they're doing! Also those little stripey tents that the so called telephone engineers spend their days inside. Just what are they hiding in there?? The most sickening thing is the way it is all being promoted as an apparently innocent and beneficial advancement. Superhighways, shopping nets, the internet. I can't believe everyone is falling for it, especially the British people, I, mean we don't usually believe ANYTHING! unless its about the Queen Mother or at least a hundred years old, which basically adds up to the same thing. We must band together and resist the expansion of these networks, Oh, of course things will be difficult for the resistance at first, how do we communicate? Well to be honest, we don't, because there's only me, but when people realise what’s going on, things will move on a pace. I've started with a leaflet campaign. "WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT OPTIC FIBRES? BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT YOU?" You've got to admit it's attention grabbing. I took the fight straight to the enemy. I started distributing them outside the entrance to 'The Institute for Light Technology', Unfortunately it went wrong and the Institute ended up over subscribed on three of their foundation courses. (One of the doormen actually had the nerve to bring me coffee and doughnuts!) Anyway I think I'd better go now just in case they are trying to trace me, take comfort in the fact that I'm out there. Remember Vigilance is not a four letter word! Look out for my name ‘CAPTAIN SEMAPHORE' CHAMPION OF THE FIBRE FREE WORLD' I’ll be out there looking out for you! |

I too enjoyed this and agree with the comments above. And nice to see something quite original making its way onto the Comedy site.
Is it meant for a monologue; or a piece of journalism? It could possibly suit both.
Although I appreciate it was not what you meant you should develop your notion of 'free range optics' as a running gag. Mind you I think we would all be better disposed towards the sneaky little sparks if the were organic.
Well done! | Hi Bilbo

It would read easier if spaced out.
Otherwise a good read and I echo the previous reviewers comments,

Liked this one very much...Interesting delivery, something like a skit on a TV show. 'Beware the dreaded fibre optics'.
I would agree with Brian, spaced out is much easier to read.
Only one word to say to you, apart from well done...and that is
'QUANTUM TELECOM'
best wishes
