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

Celery is a remarkably silly food indeed, it takes more energy to eat than digesting it gives, so if you eat celery you can be simultaneously stuffed full and starve to death. In it goes.

Not sure about rubbish shop bought curries but like all such food they should only be consumed when drunk. As a sixth former you obviously don't drink[1] so wouldn't realise this yet.

Can't put members of the government in simply for experimenting on you A level system. Be a bit imaginative. If
a) You get good results claim that they are even more valuable because you got them despite the stupid system
b) You get bad results claim that they aren't truely refelctive because of the new system.

Can't lose


[1] Zathras doing his innocent old duffer routine

the other advantage of the new system is that the government WANT us 2 do well so they look good... but its still really annoyin, we get soooo much more work in yr 12 than previous yrs did, plus we got external exams @ end of yr 12.

oh, & thanks 4 puttin celery in!

To be fair many Year 12 (as L6 is now known) get the same feeling about being experimented on. My year was the first in my school to do modular mathematics A levels, this involved external exams at the end of year 12 and in the middle of year 13.

We were also I believe the first year to use the joint UCAS sytem for university application.

So don't be to aggreived it happens to us all.

Z

it happens 2 every1 but 2 our yr the most. trust me. all the teachers agree on that point (incl the really mean 1s who never usually agree wiv students!)

how about, for the music thing:
limp bizkit's version of Faith, the 1 off 3$bill not the version on the WCW soundtrack, which is really good.
Metal bands that just produce this wall of noise & scream over the top of it.

oh & Comp. games companies who stick a URL on the box of a game & then when u go there it dont exsist

And Finally...YAY we got rid of micro scooters

I would add computer games manufactuers that release buggy games and there idea of product support is to expect you to download a 15MB patch.

CHawke

Hurrah! Celery bites the dust

Am I really the only person here that thinks breakfast radio DJ's need to go in?

Pokemon. Please. I hate them.

In reply to the simultaneous thread about the gov., the same year was experimented on with Key Stage 2 tests, Key skills, AS levels and probably more besides.

I started my AS levels in september and had exams in all four of my subjects in january. Four months to make that jump from GCSE to A level standard, and to make it worse it was just after xmas.

Can you put cheese in room lovely?

ur in same noat as me wiv exams then...but we're doin all our exams in june (thank god!)

i agree wiv pokemon...can digimon go in 2?

but nt wiv cheese. its yummy!

Breakfast Radio DJs. - Are far far to cheerful for that hour in the morning (Zathras prefers listening to the Today program on Radio 4 in order to get himself nice a depressed ready for the day). So unless someone speaks up for them soon into Room 101 they go.

Z

Cheese. Well we could have a long debate about whether it belongs in room lovely or not but since this isn't a democracy and what Zathras says goes it is going in.

Z

I like Pokémon. Some people hate them, but I don't think that they should go in 101.

Well, no good words for messrs Chris Evans, Chris Tarrant & co.
I vote they go in just for thinking we'd rather listen to their meaningless cheery banter than some music.

If anyone knows of a breakfast radio dj that;
- Doesn't have quizzes
- Doesn't have spoof phone calls
- Doesn't think s/he is God
- Just plays the bloody music!!!
They can stay out. And tell me what station they're on. Please?

Ta

terry wogan's ok on R2

The last time I listened to music in the morning a young man called Noel Edmunds was doing the breakfast show, is he still around?

CHawke

if all u want in the mornin is music set up ur stereo 2 play a selection of CDs @ random. that way u avoid all the 'cheerful' banter and quizes & r assured of gettin good music wen u wake up!

I think Noel Edmonds was the last radio dj that actually bothered playing any music. Where is he now? Last I heard he'd retired somewhere round Devon way to a farm or mansion or something amusingly (?) called crinkly bottom or suchlike. Couldn't handle getting upstaged by Mr Blobby I suppose

The trouble with setting CD's up is a actually like the music I have, which makes me want to stay in that nice cozy bed & listen. That unfortunately defeats the object.

Breakfast DJ's still awaiting your disposal Zathras

OK. Breakfast DJs are hearby banished (or they will be once I backtrack and find out who it was that origninally nominated them).

Keep nominating, there may be a prize for the researcher who gets the most items in.

Z

A test to see if they go in or not.

Well I've just get a Cyndaquil in a packet of crisps. So if someone can tell me (within 24 hours) what the Type, Height and Weight of such a cirtter is I'll keep them out.

Takes back the celery 'it dosn't belong here'
