Tip for you: At the bottom of every post, there's a button with double-quotes and a +, beside the Quote button. If you click on this button under every post you want to respond to and then press Quote your own post will then contain little blocks of text wrapped in quotes so you can reply to everyone in one go, instead of making 10 posts in a row.

I would bring a machine guns, plenty of ammo, some lighters, glow sticks, card tricks, flashy objects ,a fiat punto with a lifetime supply of petrol etc.. and pretend to be a wizard.

Nations would call upon my services and I would use my magic (ak47..) to fight off the enemies.

I would take my fiat punto and convert it to look like a mythical beast with great beaming eyes, that moved with great speed and had a great wail of Dj tiesto playing from it's speakers. Enemies would be terrified.

I would accept concubines as payment for my services in battle and father hundreds of kids.
When these kids had matured to the ripe old age of 8 I would teach them the fine arts of wizardry and send my young wizard apprentices into battle to overthrow the land.

ozone layer

Was the buzz word in the 90's. TV programs on it, we did posters and watched videos in school. CFC's were evil

And then the phrase disappeared, can I assume the ozone layer is fixed?
Or there never was an issue to begin with?

Indeed it has. Almost closed up completely :-)
