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

Ask Wellies, he is the expert on all things MK.

Yeah, I know, but I wanted an unbiased opinion from someone who's fortunate enough not to live there *giggles*

I think with that very comment you have answered your own question - it is exactly like it was last time I went there (she says diplomatically)

Who turned the lights out?

Goodnight...

...and that's exactly what I was afraid of, Lochie

*Walks away muttering: "Why can't the IRA do something useful for a change...Milton Keynes...Telford...*

I'm lost... I'd much rather be found

Do you mind, those B'stards blew up my favourite record shop in Manchester.

And may I remind _you_ Menz, that their most horrific act of treason on the mainland _remains_ the Birmingham bombings - a night they _nearly_ got my parents...

Manchester was peanuts (I remember it well - I was there the first time they bombed the place, I was walking into Salford Uni as the first one went off, and in the middle of an electronics class being taken by a man who looked the spitting image of Captain Caveman when the second one went off later that morning...)

Maybe I know your parents. The Tavern in the Town was a pub much frequented by mates of mine but they weren't in that night. Or the Mulberry Bush at the foot of the Rotunda.

My dad was a cabbie when one of the bombings happened,
he saw the aftermath and still goes white when its mentioned.
He has opinions on the Birmingham six too.

And what record shop do you means menz? was there one in the
corn exchange?

That was the one, did you know it?

Sorry deSilva, I didn't know.

I just popped in to say >thhhrrrpppttt< :-p

I like MK. We have <> one way systems, we keep all the traffic lights in one place, and when I lived one the next estate to my office I could break the ton on the way to work!!

I'll admit some of the pubs aren't much, but we have a purpose built rave centre.

Oh, yeah, and we've got more trees than the rest of you put together!
(apart from the canadains)

But you've got so many roundabouts that from the air it looks like some one has taken a shotgun to it.

they're not roundabouts, they're kneeslider testing zones, don't you know nuffin?

and an imperative to buy quality tyres! (all kneel before the bridgestone)

okay, so maybe we got carried away with the coffee cup stains on the plans. you ever been to belguim? long straight dual cabbage ways punctuated by triffid lights. seriously scary when you get up to speed!

You've got all your trafficlights in one place?! That's a bit odd, isn't it? But still, it must be a pretty darned safe crossing, then.

a little, I knew harry hall's bike shop better

It keeps them under control, otherwise they spread like a virus. ever been to leicester? bad case of traffic lights there.

Still lost.... sympathetic with the topic, lost nonetheless

Me too, but its still fun to read.

Read Menz?

You mean you've learned how to?

I've only been gone a week!
