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

Before we go to the supermarket, I suppose we should compile the list....

....although the general purpose of going to the supermarket seems to be buying lots of random things you don't really need, at least we can say we tried!

Post suggestions here...

Party Poppers (Not to be confused with party poopers other wise the do will definately fail to go with a bang)

All the party poopers are at http://www.h2g2.com/forumframe.cgi?thread=47025&forum=37098

Silly string... (i need to get monsy back)

Plenty of film for the camera.

(On an accent note the above is pronounce fil-em)

Isn't it fil-um? And it's the same for going to the movies too!

No fil-um's more Belfast. But you're correct on your assumption.

Not assumption, Dublin-speak

Erm...

4 quarts vodka
2 quarts vermouth
5 lbs olives
2 lbs cocktail onions
5 pairs pink rubber gloves (this reminds me of a rocky horror scene)
22 lbs crushed ice

er... that's it for now... oh, wait... how about an American to metric guide book?

definitely some of those fish shaped pretzels that you find down the sofa for years after the party has happened!

A yellow pages. We need one so we can ring the french polisher/picture restorer before the parents get back.

A couple more things to add to the list:

Streamers; party hats; candles; paper plates; cups; cocktail sticks; silly string; and plastic cutlery

oh the ingredients for the party bags too!

And the bags to put the incredients into.

sweets

Especially sweetie whistles. V. partyish.

Could you get some toilet roll? we've run out again.

There's still plenty in the gents.

oh, you better get some more China, seeing how they're part of an awful mess under the kitchen cupboards

remember the jelly and ice cream and the chocolate rolls!
