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

I think that the only way to sort this out would be by a series of trials,maybe a topless boxing competition or topless cycling or topless trampolining

Agreed! The contenders will be a bunch of 300 lb and up guys (all slightly balding)!

Let the fight begin!!

Yea!

just saw george on tv , singing 'down on the maginot line' this was followed shortly after by spike milligan dressed as hitler playing the ukulele singing 'mr woo' and getting a custard pie in the face . it doesn't get much funnier than that !

Naturally my vote goes to George

Crivvens. Isn't it odd to think that George Formby is on You Tube? What would he have made of it all?

These weird people look at me,
Playing my ukelele,
I bet they're internet geekies,
Watching me on You Tube

just found out George Formby (who should be sainted in my eyes) was born on the 26th may which coincidently is also my birthday YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!

That's about as cool as it gets.

roymondo,as we speak I'm designing a t-shirt with this information on

Ah George Formby...

When one thinks of him, one always thinks of the war years and the British pluck in the face of adversity and our desire for a nice cup of tea. What isn't so well known is that several of George's younger siblings are alive and well today, some 46 years after George's untimely death.

Chin up people

Finding that link, in the post up there, to the Formby on Utube has not only made my day, it is without doubt the most interesting thing that has happened since the last time I logged on to H2G2, a year and a few days ago... Actually, its the most interesting thing to have happened to me in two years and a bit. how dull.

Most pleased to have cheered up your year Orange

I agree it's a fab snippet of the great Fornby!

Vote George

No.
Vote George instead!

Just to be contrary...

Vote George.

I meant George.

No, not George, George...

OI, 2legs, have you been playing with the systems again?

Stop it and vote Liv. Or maybe George.

Vote now, or I'll set 2legs loose.
