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

Damn, the pitch is looking fine!
Any chance of a game?

definetly
any ideas how to set about it?

hmmmm ... dunno ... I'll have a think

Yeah, maybe we could just sort of spread out a bit like on the tele, and pick someone to chuck the ball at the three bits of wood and see if he or she hits. Should they miss, I'll volounteer to try and head off the ball before it disappears down the rabbit hole. But isn't there some geek with a another bigger stick who tries to whack it?

Yes, you're right ... I think the rules are, if you are Australian you are allowed to whack it, but if you are English you have to let the ball hit the wooden sticks.

And if you're West Indian you have to make the ball bounce *really* high

But what if you're Caucasian? I favour the sudden stumble mid run-up, and feining a hamstring-pull, deliver a perfectly disguised yorker, illegally delivered while performing elaborate underarm gyroscopic movements, whilst apparently trying to regain one's equilibrium.

Hey, you guys, their team rocket just landed. The eleven from Mars.
Playing with some faceted rock they seem to call a 'marl' - they keep rubbing it between their third and fourth 'legs'

oh well
let's see how it goes
I bet willow works much better

Heh, Swiv, you're right, cricket IS played with leather upon willow.
Lets come back to earth and those six legged martians can go stuff themselves at the nearest MacDonalds!

Blah
doncha just hate that!
can't help but think it might have been a really interesting post. why can't they just remove all trace, if remove they must

Wow, the post removed by moderators has gone completely - it doesn't even have a post number (I'm sure it was 11 or 12!)

I wonder what it was?

'Twas the one above mine
bizarre

The eleventh posting, the fifth prime, never to be seen.I should have realized! Heck, maybe it'll reappear at the 11­ to the power of 5 posting during the 33rd millenium.

would almost have thought Hussein had dropped another place....

Just flew in from the Quattro Sector - what's all this about Hussein? Blimey, the lad has to play, surely!? I've yet to see a better Chinaman to shatter Basher's stumps during last years pre-teen nets evaluation.

I'm fed up of seeing the same old blurb I wrote after first accessing this site. What I want to know is this:

WHO REALLY ARE :

1. Swiv
2. Mickey Thomas' Right Foot

I believed that in the Practice Ground, we might actually get round to selecting a team, yet it seems there's less interest than that in the current campaign to elect the next Conservative Party's fingerpuppet!
