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

Well this is an old thread I'm just passing throughdon't mind me, carry on regardless.

I wonder if any of these members are still around

A decade old conversation: It's a tiny bit like time travel really, a bit like the light of the stars; we see them but in a lot of cases their not actually there anymore or here...ummm, well you know what I mean

Ten years...gosh what were you doing in 2000?
Apart from being younger, I was doing the exact same thing I'm doing now and in 1990 ditto and in 1980 ditto again. Goodness me that sounds slightly boring but it's not really

It's a bit like reading old graffiti on a Roman ruin and the like: Upus Yourus Marcus Aurelius or finding an old newspaper.

Well time to jump back to 2010 and a quiet Friday night...

What a great thread! An h2g2.com link , and very funny. Interesting too, to see how this was handled in 2000 compared to the later WWW Americans thread that descended into vitriol and chaos.

Best retort was how the English named a sport after an insect

Yeah that was pretty funny

back in 2000 i was working in a glue factory, newly wed and moved from a flat into our first house

Did they use old horses Taff?

no just pva chemicals and some dodgy stuff

You a Tony now?

this tony curtis, coming out in sympathy thing, showing solidarity and all that, back to normal in a few weeks or so, then jump on the next band wagon

>>I like AmericaNs, but i couldn't finish a whole one<<

Typical Yanks, got to have a capital at the beginning AND the end

...hmmm, Tony Curtis who increasingly in his dotage looks like Antonia Curtis. Have you noticed?

But by golly he was a pretty boy when he was a lad wasn't he.

This post has been removed.

Whose sock puppet are you?

So which is the sport named after an insect?

I´d been wondering about it, and of course the answer struck me just as I hit the post button.

I thought there was a smiley but I can only find this

Sock puppet indeed.
I'll take it that TonyB14U is taking the p#*s.

Cricket: It's on of life's pleasures

I wonder what TonyB14U was doing in 2000 ?

Yes my post was in jest. Well in the main, I mean you would not want to exterminate them all.

I mean in a war you need someone to go out and get killed so that you are still around to claim victory when the dust settles

Well, I wasn't here for a while, but I'm here now, and I won't be when I'm gone again.

any Merkins here???
