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

I've just been re-watching Queer as Folk to help write a QAF article with some substance to it for the guide and guess what?

The bus on which Nathan does his 'I'm doing it. I'm actually doing it.' Speech is shot on a Stagecoach bus. Isn't irony marvelous.

Oh God!!!

But was it recent enough to be deliberate?

QAF was shot in 1999 I'm sure his anti-gay feeling were known by then, section 28 has been on the Labour party agenda since day one, so maybe.

Yeah, sounds kinda likely... Though, sadly, in loads of places you don't have any choice but to use stagecoach...

True. Glad I don't even have the option of taking them here.

Yeah... They're all stagecoaches around here. Perhaps something to get CUSU onto...

Hmmm. Yeah I should remember that from my last visit to my brother. Tough call, just cycle everywhere in the mean time.

Your brother is here? How curious... And that you kept it a secret... Don't cycle - I just don't go far enough that I'd need a bike... Or I get my pet postgrad to drive me places...

He and his wife both work down there.

Oh /reeeeeeeeeally/

That I have mentioned around here just not maybe to you.

Fair dinkum, if a little sly...

Look I can't remeber to tell everybody everything. Next time I'm over I'll let you know especially if it is during term time, alright.

Okay. Acceptable. You are excused. You may continue to exist.

*breathes a sigh of relieve.
