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

If we're going to entertain the notion of Gracie Fields, why not Gracie Allen?

GRACIE: They laughed at Joan of Ark, but she built it anyway.

GEORGE: Why do I keep singing? It's because there's something in me that has to come out. If you had it in you, you'd want it out, too.

GRACIE: George, remember when you asked me to marry you? I went to my mother and said, "Mother, I want to get married in the worst way."
She said, "Well, this is it."

GEORGE AND GRACIE:



Strolling with that someone,
meeting sigh after sigh.
Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try.

GEORGE: Gracie, your roast beef is always perfect. How do you do it?

GRACIE: Oh, George, that's because I always put a big roast and s small roast in the oven at the same time. So, when the little roast is burned, the big one is just right.

Ba-da-big!

George lives on in all of us, he can never die

Jollywood was the name given to the pre war Film Studios in Manchester

ERROR my post should read handball NOT basketball

Jellybabies in Brentwood! Will it be safe (I always bit the heads off first.) I'd have thought liquorice allsorts in Ealing was a safer bet. Still, time will tell!

I'm begginning to feel a bit peckish, it is nearing lunchtime, and I don't have that* much in... a bit* of bread, some spread, a tadge of cheese Oh, I've some soup Vote George! Vote Now! Vote George! Vote now!!

George won't even care if you vote for him, but *I'd* appreciate your vote immensely!

You already *have* my vote, Lady Scott. I can't vote twice, can I?

Last night I saw "Princess Diaries 2," in which Julie Andrews did some singing. That's probably about as much as she can do nowadays, but the lady should remember that not many almost-septuagenarians can sing much anyway. Besides, as Julie herself will admit, there's a lot more to putting a song across than having great vocal cords. She's still tops in expressiveness.

(Okay, okay, I developed a huge crush on Julie when I was 12--and she was 25--so I'm not unbiased here. Suffice it to say that it's good that I didn't have to agonize between voting for Lady Scott and voting for Julie Andrews. )

"liquorice allsorts in Ealing was a safer bet"

hmmmmm....

How about a sherbet dab in Derby? (that includes a dabber of liquorice)

I just finished off a vanilla latte in Plymouth?
