Daphne had had enough of holograms for one day....

Just then, a football, from Cov City football ground,1960's, came through the window. 'Christ', said, Daphne, 'I was just about to come' 'How on earth did that ball take so long to get here!' George, scratched his beard.'It's because you put Cockney Rebel on the turntable again!' Daphne wasn't convinced - this was 1974 and that ball went missing in 1961. 'Something weird is happening here George' she said, heading for the bath room. 'The world is more surreal than any Dali painting - don't you get a sense of that?' George put on his boxers and watched the boxing "Sorry babe, I never notice these things. Women are always more attuned to it." Daphne did up the buttons of her braided coat and slid down the Bannister of the multi-storied flats when Steve Harley called out from the top block "We can work it out " he sang. " I did the football trick just to get your attention, come on up!" Daphne had had enough of holograms for one day and took a bus to 2017 where life was much simpler. Meanwhile another missing football hit a nearby juke box - it was the rebel himself...
