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

Ah, sarcasm AND violence! Seem to recall one girl being swung off her feet by a Games Teacher holding on to her hair....."In the changing room...no one can hear you scream....."

That's terrible! Mine seemed to prefer mental, rather than physical abuse.

I also remember his 'office' in the changing rooms. It was a tiny room, with a shower, and was full of balls and whistles and bats and games kit. I never had the chance to inspect it properly, the smell of sweaty clothing (and for some reason they all seem to wear Ron Hill's Tracksters) was unbearable for more than a few seconds!

I'm rather perversely proud of having been a House captain at school, and at the same time, managing to come last in every cross country run I ever did, what an example

Ours favoured dark blue Adidas track suit bottoms and a white polo shirt.

Seemed to always have a cup of coffee in his hands (apart from when he was demonstating his prowess at whatever game was going on, and gord elp ya if you got in his way).

He had this ability to draw out your surname when you got on his bad side and always mentioned a sarcastic remark to follow.

Ahhh... happy days

Yes! ours seemed to have a permanently attached coffee cup too!

Ah...obviously the female (?) of the species was more evil than the male.....Ours favourite trick to torment everyone was to insist that you gave up your towel whilst still in the queue for the shower....fine, but the queue was right in front of the (badly latched) door which opened onto a playground and the classroom windows looking onto it! Of course, trying to hold onto your towel was a capital offence!

She sounds awful Wonder if she's still about, dispensing misery... I keep seeing my old games teacher, as he still works in the area. He's now gone completely grey, shading to white

Oh dear, you've triggered horrible memories of communal showers and towel flicking

Hey folks don't argue it is only a TV show 'chill'

I doubt whether she's still teaching - mind you I bet she's terrifying the Pensions Office staff!

Hey folks don't argue it is only a TV show 'chill'

LW has a point

For some reason, i've got a picture in my head of two schoolboys, who delight in stirring up trouble amongst people. When the others get angry, they then stand there, innocent looks on their faces saying 'Who? me? what did I do?'

Can't think what brought that on...

Well, you started it...

I never started arguing

I'm going to let the premoderated thoughts of LW appear before posting a comment, you see Will how easy it is to wait before posting?

LW, if you care to look again Mr D copied your chyum Cheyennes post not yours, he was not talking to you.

Well anyway this show is growing on me

Apologies, last post appeared twice.

"sings "I'm still waiting...."

Man it is like a school playground here

Can we now please draw a line under all of this unpleasantness and return to a discussion about 'Life on Mars'? Can I also suggest that anyone who doesn't like the programme or who can't understand why people may gain some enjoyment out of discussing a TV show might find that they get more out of another thread somewhere else on h2g2?

Many thanks everyone.

So, let's have a straw poll. Has Sam actually time-travelled? Is he in a coma? Or is it something far more complex than that?!

Paully

Has Sam actually time-travelled? no

Is he in a coma? from Mondays show it seems he is
