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

I popped out for 20 minutes or so down to the local supermarket to buy some late night provisions. The route there takes me across a largish green at the bottom of the hill from my house.

Standing around on the green was a small bunch of people, taking advantage of the gathering darkness, and the warm summer night to practice their juggling skills with flaming torches.

Now how cool is that

I normally get treated to the sight of burned-out cars... Hence me moving to Sheffield in the autumn...

You're sadly delusioned.

And GreyDesk lives in a town full of stoners, as is well-renowned.

B

Anywhere (barring Liverpool or 'Abroad') is better than Salford.

Dont get many Hippies in Plymouth, being a garrison town and all that. Loads of Matlow swine everywhere though.

"a small bunch of people... to practice their juggling skills with flaming torches"

Bloody hippies who sponge of the state and think they're so bloody clever because they can toss something in the air and catch it. Big wow!

GET A PROPER JOB YOU MUPPETS!

Was that too harsh?

The money is very good if you're good enough to do corporate gigs.

And if you can do team building training on top of that, the money gets even better

Somehow I don't think your team building would last long if it was done on top of people juggling lit torches ... but what do I know?

I learned how to juggle when I was in the RAF. It was the time when the runway at my station was getting resurfaced. There were no aircraft at the place, no aircrew and therefor no need for the simulators.... Until the weekends came and the aircrew needed an excuse to get home to see the wife and kids, in which case it was 5 mins in the sim, eject on take-off, job done.

Hmmm. Is there difference between a juggler and a smug tosser? Discuss.

Nope.

Are the Andes? Discuss.

What did the Greeks throw at the Olympics? Discuss?

B

They'd have thrown more than that if you were there

You flatter me, sir.

B

I remember seeing one of those World Cup documentaries and they were talking about the Italian team getting similar treatment when they came back in '66 after being knocked out by the North Koreans. Gianni Rivera was very snotty when discussing the issue, but Sandro Mazzola grinned broadly, described the wide variety of stuff that was bunged at them, and then said "They didn't manage to hit me, though, I was very fast in those days."

I am sorry B but that effing awfull.... still !!!

Hey I never once said that I'd tossed a smug

But I'll try anything once....



Bassman
