h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

... was so breathy when she sang. I've still got two of their singles. Great stuff!

Oh yes - good old Thereza. Ahh Dollar were so dramatic.

The 'Give Me Back My Heart' video is my own personal fave. All dramatically dropped bouquets and looks of forlorn longing...

I can't remember the video, but I like 'Mirror Mirror' better.

The words to Give me Back my Heart make no sense.

"Count the minutes that fly by the fences you leap"

What's that about?

Great entry, Natalie! Although I'm not sure which is more worrying: the fact that Mina knows the words to Give Me Back My Heart, or the thought of there being two Bucks Fizzes...

Yes but one Bucks Fizz is by appointment to the gentry and only plays quality venues!

The old comedy show 'Three of a Kind' had a superb sketch with Tracey Ullman and David Coperfield playing Theresa and David. The song went a little bit like this:

'Give me back my duvet, and my pink flanallette pyjamas -
take your dirty socks as well, they smell like two dead llamas...'

The verse bit went:
'Our lips are made of pure elastic
We've even got glass eyes
{ha ha ha}
But the thing that never shows is, we get up each others' noses...'


Who said satire was... oh, it was me.

I used to live on the same road as Dollar....

Zeb, I am not sure which is more mighty, that or the whole photocopier / Penny Smith / leather thingy

Why don't you tell us more about the photocopier / Penny Smith / leather thingy, then we can judge for ourselves?

The tale is usually enjoyed most when accompanied by alcohol

And not just by me


So, when are we going to hook up again? (Though it'll have to wait until I'm back from Oz.....)

Oh, and after we left that house I lived just round the corner from Dennis Nielsen. (Though I think he'd been caught well before then). (Thankfully - I was ten).

Back from Oz? I didn't know you'd gone off to see the wizard...

She follwed the wolley brick road.

She?

Zeb, when are you back for we shall have to drink much and then you and NexusSeven can go and chat up the barmaids like you normally do....

That would be an absolute pleasure

Zebedee! Were David and Thereza good neighbours or did they grow Leylandii bushes and play speed metal at all hours of the day and night?

And what's this photocopier thing all about?

They lived about 100 yards down on the other side of the road. Well, that's what Mum said - don't remember actually seeing them....

I'll get the address next time I'm in that part of London so any Dollar pilgrims can go and annoy the current owners

As for the photocopier......well, let's just say that when you've been up all night and you're up to the shoulder in a photocopier, there is something very moving about seeing a pair of black boots and fishnets stride towards you with an incredibly hot blonde on top of them. Grrrrrr.

"up to the shoulder in a photocopier"? I've never heard it called that before...

In much the same way that the Fifth Doctor used to be up to the shoulder in a cow. But less unpleasant.
