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

I like Gordon Brown but....... If everyone achieves their potential, right? And if it's British jobs for British workers, right? Then who is going to collect the trolleys at Tesco's or mop the floor at McDonalds, or deliver the Domino's Pizzas? Go and ask your presbyterian Minister daddy the answer to that one Gordon!

Hey I know you lot out there are in awe of my scintillating wit, but do feel free to join in sometimes, it feels a bit like a masterclass, you'll never improve if you don't try.

Well, the Welsh Rugby authorities didn't give much of a 'Welcome in the Hillside' to their poor old rugby coach did they? Sacked him as soon as the plane touched down! That wasn't much of a Creoso home isn't it?

I'll tell you what Gordon Brown, you don't impress me with your foreign trips, I was in Bagdad when you were in Dadsbag mate! Yes I know it's an old joke but it may have passed some of our younger readers by.

Good Gordon Brown, is this now the dirty joke thread?

Well the Czar is writing nonsense again, Edward Lear has nothing on you mate, welcome back. Or you could try The Walrus and the Carpenter, the maritime theme should suit you, anything silly and fishy, the Czar's the man. No, I don't do dirty stuff mate, I leave that to your old mate, the King of Smut, the Decadent Pedant.

What are we going to do for a bit of excitement now the Tory party conference is over? Who said politics was dull?

Wasn't it sad to see those hulking Australians crying real tears after those cruel Englishmen beat them at rugby? And the French beat the All Blacks, I hate to see overgrown men cry!

And now the All Blacks are saying it was all the fault of the English referee! We'll have to change the name of the 'Land of the long White cloud' to the 'Land of the long Black cloud', dear oh dear. Personally I thought it was those horrible silver shirts they wore, and they probably exhausted themselves doing the Haka!

HAM X X X And Czar ,both here getting along like friends should on our wonderful Sarcasm Thread....It lightens my heart so see two comrades keeping the thread alive ! The return of one Ped and the Rat Pack will be complete...OK,I must stop this nostalgic moment and return to the way our thread has become so popular...Sarcasm !!! Difficult for me I know,but I TRY OK ? I agree Ham,those silver shirts did nothing at all for the complexions of the All Blacks,so how did they expect to win ? A little attention to fashion while covered in blood ,sweat and tears,should be taken on board !!! I always knew you had taste !!! Impeccable taste ! Don't you agree Czar ? OooooOOOOOOOooooo it is SO GOOD to be back ! Love Pinky X

I see that the British are drinking less alcohol year on year! What's wrong with this country, have we no pride left? It's this healthy living lark that's at the bottom of it. I actually walked to the supermarket today, and I've only got eight cans of lager in for tonight cos that's all I could carry, if I'd took the car I could have had a bootload. You just can't win can you?

You WALKED to the supermarket Ham ? OH NO !!! You'll be entering for the Great North Run next Bonny Lad !!! It's about time this country got back to basics if you ask me !!!I mean,it's not safe walking anywhere,joggers,lurching past people at great speed,inhaling car fumes with such relish ! And now,you tell me we're drinking less ! I mean,have we no pride left at all ? I think I might have to move to France (and they can actually PLAY rugby) However,for the time being,the letter I have written to Gordon Brown,wings it's way to him as I type !!! This is not Britain as we know it,I have demanded he brings back the old drinking pub times !11-3, 6-11,people knew where they were then ! You got as much down your neck before last orders,and sanity prevailed ! It's going to the dogs !!I will keep you informed of the reply I receive OK Pet ? xxx Hi Czar !

I see the Pinky and Porky love fest continues.

Airscot, you wouldn't understand, a thing of beauty is a joy forever,

And haven't you heard of Porky and Bess?

Wasn't it great to see our young Prince enjoying himself at the Rugby in France? I'm sure his Royal presence spurred our boys on to their wonderful victory, ooooh it's like Agincourt, being led into battle against the French by our Royals, and it's nice to see that the army are so understanding in giving him time off to go, (is it him or his brother whose in the services at the minute? I'm really interested as you can see, but sometimes I forget.) Hey Pinky, OK the French can play Rugby, but the English were pretty good at knocking them down when they tried to, and of course we had the great Novocastrian on hand to do the business when it mattered!

I'm outraged by the way Sir Ming Cambell has been booted out! This is pure, crude ageism, and the Lib Dems ought to be ashamed of themselves. I loathe the way the elderly are constantly stereotyped in modern society. Sir Ming was an international athlete for goodness sake, I'll bet he could still beat Brown or Cameron in a race around the block. There again, I suppose he probably needs to as calls of nature become more urgent at his age.

Hi Ham,we did not win the rugby,but of course,there's always next time!!! I have faith !! Someone has too !! OK,just a quick little word for airscotia,some of us enjoy true,lasting,and meaningful friendships airs...nothing shallow or weak !!I hope you will blessed with true friendship,someday !!! Catch you later Ham X

Yeah, but we've still got a chance in Formula One, apparently those devious Italians put an eggcupfull too much fuel in their car! You can't trust them, I know people say that the best man won and we're arguing over trivialities, but rules are rules! They cheat at soccer too, not like us English, we lose properly we do.

Good old Louis Hamilton, I knew he wouldn't let us down, blew two chances to win the world championship, so young, so British, well done my boy! Driving fast is neither big nor clever, he's a great role model to our youngsters.
