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

A bit of a distracted list. Let's see what you make of it...


Watford v Man Utd <-- FA Cup match, btw
Port Vale v Crewe
Brentford v Nottm Forest
Vauxhall Motors v Lancaster City
Lecce v Juventus


All predictions to be in by noon on Saturday, 14th April.

What an odd combination.

Yeah, a bit crap isn't it

This list has been abandoned for general crapness. So *don't* post a prediction as you'll be wasting your time

The new list is here --> F6184746?thread=4041394

Watford 7 Man Utd 1 Ferdinand og
Port Vale 9 Crewe 1 Lowndes
Brentford 5 Nottm Forest 0 Kuffour
Vauxhall Motors 6 Lancaster City 4 Rooney (T)
Lecce 3 Juventus 1 Pablo Daniel Osvaldo

All I care about as regards the Watford-Man U. game is that it doesn't go to extra time - because if it does, this week's episode of 'Doctor Who' is going to be postponed for a week to accomodate the BBC coverage. Which would be an outrage.

DD will probably get all of those right as well.

Doctor Who gets how many viewers? About 8-9m? How many people will be tuning into an FA Cup final featuring Manyoo? It's got to be around about that number.

It's not like they're moving it for some crap like the bowls that six sad old men in Norfolk watch.

Oi! I _like_ bowls.

And I think you'll find DD is a bit good at the game, too.

On the one side: discerning fans of an award-winning sci-fi drama, which does indeed get 8-9 million viewers on a good day. On the other: millions of bandwagon-jumping pub plasma screen gawpers who like to be associated with success but couldn't find Old Trafford if you gave them a copy of the Manchester A-Z. EXTERMINATE!!!

(Calms down)

Sorry. I'm under a bit of stress at the moment, what with my dissertation and Bradford's increasingly desperate relegation struggle. But I still don't see why they couldn't have put the on BBC2.

**sees an opportunity for merciless humiliation**

Don't you boys find it a bit irritating that the Blades are the best team in Yorkshire?

B

They're only the best team in Yorkshire on league position...

"couldn't find Old Trafford if you gave them a copy of the Manchester A-Z"

Probably because they'd look in Manchester. In a similar vein, I used to work in an office on Salford Quays, just over the water from OT. It used to amuse me no end when I'd come out of work at 12 noon on a Saturday, and have cockneys ask me for directions from the Metrolink stop to a ground you could SEE if you just turned your head to the left. Yes, that one. The one with MANCHESTER UNITED in massive neon letters. Yes, yes, the same words as on your shirt.

Not really - we quite like the Blades because our old hero Stuart McCall is there. Being a division below Huddersfield - now that'd rankle.

We'll do our best to wallop them on your behalf this weekend.

DD walks in branding his TWO Irish Cup Bowls Winner Medals. And his Civil Service International Title. While coyling hiding his other honours and trophies.

Scary thing is I actually have 4 different Bowl's Blazers. And have worn 6 different representative ties.
