Be, sorry but the paper went out yesterday and I would not like to say what’s on top of it now. Remember not being all that successful so I ditch it. Never mind there always next weeks.

Some years ago the ex Mrs PP called me to the front door of our house one evening.
When I got there I saw what for a few short moments I just KNEW was a UFO.
It was huge, hanging in the sky, vaguely sausage shaped, silent and lit up brightly. I was in absolutely no doubt at all that it was a UFO. A series of thoughts went through my head. We had been invaded. I had to tell someone. The police? ("Move along. Nothing to see here"). I was going to die. I had to run away.
After a few moments the penny dropped. It was an airship from nearby Cardington.
For a few moments it was a UFO. Then it was an airship.

The thought of the Earth being invaded bye an armada of Cumberland Sausage then the Mashed Potatoes’ followed by seas of Gravy.

Why does one assume the aliens are there to invade?

Because we think the aliens will be inherently the same as us... the British didn't go to India for a cup of tea and a chat.

How about the theory that aliens are actually time travellers?
They make no contact (apart from reported isolated incidents) because of the implications of affecting the past.
They'd be just popping by to observe the natives and enjoy the scenery. Just like travellers go to India these days for the experience ...

And I suppose the "isolated reports" are usually future medical students? 
Aliens are angels, just ask the Raëlians

"We have good old copy and paste"
Indeed we do. And I happily use it. Its downfall is that it's much harder to visibly delineate quotes from what you want to say.
That said, I'd like a quote system where you could highlight multiple posts and quote against each of them. I don't think I've ever seen that on any site ...

gateworld.com has such a facility. I'm not sure how you use it, but you do have the facility to quote from more than one person when you post. You can then answer each quote as you wish.

That's cool. I've put a comment in one of the Feedback forums but my suspicion is that the H2G2 code has been deliberately misplaced never to be upgraded.
