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

'Dirk Gently's Holstic Dectective Agency' and 'The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul'. They are good. Read them.

I haven't read them. Any good?

They are great!

Smell-wise, I love the smell of Candida growing on an agar plate (like freshly pressed grapes), the smell of a heavy growth of Staphylococcus aureus growing on a plate (Mmmm, chocolaty) & the smell of gin (but not the taste).

Odd objects of desire (not real): CCB, Po (Tellytubby).
Odd objects of desire (real): Leslie Judd, Honeysuckle Weeks, Mo Mowlem (what a formidable woman!), Floella Benjamin, that actress who played the heroin-addled prostitute in Fort Apache The Bronx whose name i can't remember - you know, the one with the big gob.

No idea...

Dirk is ace! Can't say I really thought about whether I fancied him, but he'd drive you up the wall!
Another vote for Alan Rickman, here, but I don't consider that to be in the least bit odd.

Me neither.

Nothing odd about having a thing for Alan Rickman.
Is there?

Don't think so. He's ok, as far as I can see...

I still claim that fancying Will Self is NOT odd.

I've certanly fancied odder. He's not my cup of tea, but hey, whatever floats your boat. As for Alan Rickman, mmmmmmmm. He's quite nice, but then I tend to fancy baddies.

You know what? After reading this thread I paid extra special attention to shooting stars and actually looked at Will Self. God that man is ugly.

Come on, he's not that bad. Johnny Vegas is ugly, Bill Bailey is ugly. Will Self is, shall we say, an unconventional sex symbol.

His eyes come out the top of his head.

It's said that people tend to pair up with someone of similar degree of good looks..................

I think Bill Bailey's kind of sweet though...

Very, Very, Very, Very funny.

Not sweet though.

Bob, would you rather they came out of his arm???

I don't actually mind Bill Bailey. I think he has got a certain charm about him. But objectvely I think he's quite ugly. Just one of those times where personality/talent can mitigate looks I think.

Bill Bailey reminds me of when one of the girls in "The Craft" loses her hair...

Basil Brush was guest presenting on Blue Peter today.

I quite like Konnie Huq too.
