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

FOAMY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
Knew you'd like Neurotically Yours! Thanks Ormondroyd!

Nothing like Dollar Movies in Ireland, and there is only one cinema where I live (Galway). I spent last week in Sligo, and they were still shpowing it over there. I'm so happy!!!

(, don't want to spoil the mood, but it's such a class movie!!!)

The art style of foamy looks kinda familiar, do Jhonen Vasquez or Roman Dirge have anything to do with it?

You really should add those two.

Good on you Ormondroyd.

To hell with the lot of you. (Or "hello," as they say in some places.)

Someone said earlier in the thread that they wake up feeling like they've been trampled by elephants. (I'd go back and check who it was, but why should I waste my staring-irritably-at-the-wall time?) Anyway, whoever you are, have you lost any elephants lately? Because I think they came round to my place last night.

Bloody pachyderms. Always causing trouble.

So, Hussassan, you got to see the movie then?

Yup.

Stop that right now!

(no just kdding )

Just feeling grumpy cos I have spent the last week camping in the rain.

Also feel the need to reinstate myself in h2g2 before i leave again - bloody computer is still playing up

Blimey has it been 4 weeks since I posted here!

No they didn't phone, thank you all who were kind enough to ask, and no, I didn't get the job.

But since then (was it really only 4 weeks! ), I've wangled myself an interesting position back in Belfast, sold my house there, about to nip over this weekend to look at 6 houses and 3 schools, as well as wish my Dad Happy Father's Day , and have a zen-inducing head-clearing walk on the beach.

Have to get up at 4 am tomorrow, though

Hi wildcat (and evryone else)
I've just read about your grass, and was really surprise to read that authorities could tell you when to cut your grass or to make you pay a fine when they consider it's too high
where i am, garden are just private, I prefer not to think about how much my parents would have to pay (nobody likes cutting the grass at home which result is that it's never done) you're right to be grumpy about it <smiley#sadface>

it's great you found a job lucky star <smiley#bubbly>

Well, the neighbor's grass has been cut!

Now when I get out of my car I don't feel like all sorts of critters may attack at any moment. I saw a mama 'possum go in there a couple of days before they came to cut the grass. Mom said she saw a with a fresh kill the day before that. The place really is a health hazard.

That's why the authorities can tell you when to cut your grass and make you pay fines chupito. If you let your property get too run down, it becomes a danger to the community in general. At least that's the way things are around my neck of the woods.

Wow, I don't exactly know what these animals are (I use freelang dictionnary when I'm on the computer but it has a very poor number of words) but i guess i wouldn't be happy to have these in my neighbourhood

my garden looks like jungle (or at least used to coz there is too much sun now for anything to grow) but the only animals in there where cats and squirrels (and the cats just seemed to lie in it not hunt others animals)

rules about grass seems more useful where you are

Sorry,

mama 'possum

translation: a female opossum with offspring riding on her back and/or clinging to her body. The one I saw had at least 12 babies, each one about 4 inches (10 cm) long.


Opossom's are north america's only marsupial. It has a pointed snout and a prehensile tail. About the size of your average house cat only looks more like a rat. The fur is more scruffy too. Nocturnal, and will "play dead" when attacked to make it's attacker think it is already dead as a defense mechanism.

Thus the American expression "playing 'possum" when someone is pretending to be asleep or unconscious.

Oh, and the was feral, the "kill" was a rat, a big one.

Most of the squirrels around here stay away from the s. Thank goodness.

Now if I could just keep my Luke away from the s , I would be happy.

nothing 's more terrifying than a rat (except of course several rats)

thanks for the explanations

I'll have the results of my exams today, hope I'll have no reason to be grumpy...

I hate golf.

yet my parents make me go to practice every monday morning during the summer. At 6:30.

today when i went no one else from my team decided to show up.

not even the coach.

andit's the ones on the left ya gotta worry about...

its wouldn't be cheerfulness, it'd be dishonesty, really.

So, what's the point of being on a team if even the coach doesn't show up for practice?

What did your parents say? I would have been if my child's coach didn't show up for practice. 6:30AM?!?! That coach better have a really good reason for not being there.

Where's my clubs? Let me at 'em, I'll have words with that coach for you!

And then Van the will come over and chase on the 18th farway.
