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

Boxing day is when I sit round with family, eating sandwichs, mince pies, sausage rolls, belgium choc, pickled onions, and drinking... until we get so boared we head out for a walk and useually* manage to find one pub open... where we sit for an hour or so until it closes... then return home and return to the eating and drinking

yes ditto

Usually the family punch up

I have this worry. Having taken up golf quite recently, I would like to get some accessories - you know, a golfing glove, some tee-pegs, some decent golf balls instead of the reclaims I have at present, etc. Even a new golf bag instead of the second hand tatty one I have, and one or two of those sock things that keep the clubs nice and warm. But I'm afraid to in case some of the family were thinking that golf them some good ideas for pressies. So, in the meantime, I have to go without. Of course, they'll probably not get me any of those things, and I'll end up having to buy them in January

Changed my mind... waht I'd like for Christmas is enough dustbin space to put my computer in it.. and enough money to go out and just buy a computer that actually works

I'd like to have enough time to clean up all the projects on my computer that I've been putting off.

do that in the new year and enjoy christmas

I've decided, waht I want for Chrismas is a 486 66MHZ DOS machine to make life easier

i no what will make my life easier win the lottery
than i'll have christmas everyday

I want a replacement for the Panteramobile, a new roof for my flat, a new housemate of my choosing and I'd quite like to be happy if thats ok?

CAn I come and live with you?
Panteramobile?
I blame 2legs for old bass guitars with dodgy electronics which take ages to clear the noise of up on old recordings you've made

Damn it... can I have an 'edit' button for Christmas too?

I keep telling you to buy my house leggsie!

Panteramobile is my deceased vee-hickle. She is a white saxo with Pantera across the rear windscreen. she's been my faithful friend for almost six years and has now kicked the bucket... and I'm stuck on Bristol's public transport system which is pretty grim at the best of times. ten minutes to work by car, direct route, easy peasy.

Two buses, starting off by travelling in the wrong direction for twenty minutes, an hour and a quarter overall travelling each way, and four quid a day to get the bus.

Go figure.

For those of us who suffer from Mods on the Beeb's MBs, I wish us all one dead moderator each and a certain person decides to give up posting on the baords

Surely one only suffers from s if one suffers from an afflicted sense of the rules...?

Presumably you don't often go on to the Mornington Crescent BBC message board

Er, no. I gave up on them, kept getting lost

Mornington Crescent?
Turn left at Waterloo

As for Christmas? A tank of petrol. I've got most of what I could afford, so there's little I want within my budget - so I'm saving my money to buy petrol to get the car up to Scotland this summer!

As for what happens on boxing day - people start to eat poorly stored leftovers. This trend carries on for a few days, before resulting in food poisoning, which keps laboratory workers like myself in a job.

There's an old saying in our lab - it may be a pot of poo to you, but it's bread and butter to us!
