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

I know that it's not a nice thought, but at least if it's your own poo.......

PP

Our toothbrushes are quite far away from the toilet so I reckon we're safe from poo breath I'm not the best housekeeper in the world (tidy house, tidy mind and all that) but I do like to keep my bathroom clean. This also extends to regularly cleaning the shower head to keep the limescale away

Boredom.

Lorries on the Autobahn who drive in long long convoys (ok, where I drive they're only allowed in one lane so I get that) but so close together that you have to take your life in your hands and force your way through to your exit

I love lorry drivers, but they often set themselves up as arbiters of what is acceptable driving behaviour or not, and driving nose to bumper in normal moving traffic - especially at a junction or exit makes me want to stab them all in the eye with a fork.

Electric shavers (well, this one anyway) that won't shave if it's being charged.

I'd agree, my limited experience of them, left the skin on my face feeling like rubber.

Ive had a beard for some time now (long before they became fashionable) and wet shave and trim with a razor now and days.

Feels all together cleaner

Sho love - lorry drivers are forced to do that. $$$ - the first in the convoy fights air resistance for the rest of them, the others benefit. Every 50 KM or so the leader drops to the end of the convoy and no ing way to get past that "elephant race" before they are done.

Canals, railways and aeroplanes come to mind,leaving the tarmac to and cars

PS, 'es should only be allowed out at night too

I used to have an LKW licence - back in the days of the green machine

I don't generally have a problem with trucks - I send hundreds of them around Europe every day...

but...

They make it dangerous for everyone if they don't spread out once in a while.

Notice for anyone driving around the Köln area: the police are having a blitz on breaking distances and stopping drivers and handing out fines, not just for tailgaters. I want to kiss them when I see them pull someone over

....
Trucks serviced by REME in your days, and rolling Eastern accidents waiting to happen on today´s autobahn...

What's a lorry?

There often bigger than a,carryetc to the shops, come in many colours but are difficult to say when they keep on passing you quickly coloured red and yellow

Eyedroppers.

not really Im down at the pub

When the WIFI doesn't work down one end of the house and it's bloody well meant to.

You should use chords.

(cords?)

(You know, the ones that physically plug into your computer. Although now that I think about it you're probably using a laptop, aren't you?)

Petty Hate: Laptops. The keyboards in particular, they're so slim and flat. Blah.

Yes, I use both a laptop and a netbook so cords mightn't be of use.

PH of the day, that I can never find the stupid button I want like the "attach file" button for emails or the gradient tool on photoshop or... actually photoshop in general, why pay so much for a program that just hates you...?

PH. When my very very old computer has poorly days, gave it some extra TLC the other day, now running nice and fast.

PH of the day: The 'comedy' faces comedians pull for photos used to promote TV shows. Examples can be seen on the BBC Iplayer for programmes such as 'Would I Lie to You' and 'Mock The Week'.
