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

Gadgets are all very well, but when they break down, they're pretty useless.

You can't go wrong with a book.

(And most are cheaper than gadgets, apart from academic textbooks...)

Glad to see someone in the real world is promoting the come back of debonair heros

we salute you Mr Robbie Williams

*swoon* I definitely think Robbie Williams is well on his way to joining the ranks of debonair hero. Wasn't he great at the Albert Hall? Fantastic voice and he looked gorgeous. Well done him I think I will even go and buy the album when it's released. And what about that duet he's done with Nicole Kidman? A huge round of applause in his direction.

I missed it!

Can't even think what I was doing instead. Think I might have been ailing in a sort of way. Still, my mum taped it, so I'll watch it next time I'm home.

Heard the duet and liked it a lot, though.

Love "Me and My Shadow" too although I'm always reminded of a Morcambe and Wise sketch and go into laugh mode.

That song always reminds me of "Time Bandits". That was made by George Harrison's company, god bless him.

I've never got around to watching Time Bandits although it's a film I want to see. I couldn't help wondering if George Harrison would have lived longer if he'd never become famous Did you listen to the Freddie Mercury tapes on Radio 2?

It's a good film, though I've not seen it for ages. David Warner is fantastic, but then he usually is.

I got the impression that George Harrison would have preferred not to be famous. He'll be missed.

Yes, I did hear the Mercury Tapes, I thought it was a good programme. The Untold Story was repeated on BBC1 as well that night, and Roger and Brian appeared at the fan club gig in Hackney.
