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

What would happen if no-one did the housework? The dishes would pile up in the sink, the carpet gets *crunchy*, there's a layer of dust on everything, the whole house smells, the laundry doesn't get done, there's a ring around the bath and sink, the toilets smells...

OK, I know this sounds like a typical student house but I'm afraid that housework stays out. It needs to be done (eventually). Find someone else to do it.

Take my word for it, in Majorca its bad

Yeh housework sucks and blows....throw that in.....

*does a Rome thumbs down thing* - shouldn't there be a smiley like that?

Jumping back to housework, anyone have a roomba? I just wanted to know if they were actually any good

How about Milan and Lyon RF?

a roomba?

'Kay, I'll throw the Majorcan toilet system in. Is this why the water in Majorca don't taste like what it oughter?

I have ruled on housework. It is unpleasant, but necessary. It stays out.

HonestIago, give me some more details on Milan and Lyon so I can make an informed decision.

Milan is dirty, crowded, smelly and I got mugged there. Lyon I just dislike because it is boring so I doubt I have much of a chance of it going in

A roomba is an intelligent hoover, and at the risk of giving a way free advertisment....it independantly moves around your house cleaning as it goes...

I never looked into it properly but its round and flatish like, my issue with it is...if it's round how does it do the corners...maybe it has an appendage that pops out....dunno...but anyway I want one...

If sales go up after this post...I want 50%

...and reddy, I don't even want to think about why the water don't taste like what it oughter....in majorca

Many places are dirty and crowded and smelly. And many places have muggers. I know it seems harsh, but I'm keeping Milan out. it is also responsible for some very good things as well, like two footie teams (for those that like that sort of thing), lots of very fashionable clothes, and, I'm sure, lots of v. sexy ladies. So look on the bright side of Milan, HI (if I may so abbreviate you ).

ooooo......it does do corners....

ahhh want one

Well, nothing new to go in, (Lyon still in the pending tray), so I'll let someone else pick up the onerous task of sitting in the chair and deciding what goes in or stays out, or even fishing about in the murky, squishy, smelly stuff to drag things out if you feel they've been unfairly consigned (but don't let Gareth Gates out, whatever you do ).

I nominate: sport on tv interfering with normal programing!

Got any particular sports in mind, pheloxi?

all sports....

yesterday bowls on BBC 2...I wanted see flog it!

they should ban sports of general tv chanels and start a sports only tv channels. also handy to remove them from zapping time!

Ahhh, see what you mean! Can we narrow it down to "pointless sports that are the only ones the BBC can afford the rights to these days" that interfere with nornal programming? I mean, I wouldn't want to dump Wimbledon into Thread 101 by accident

Wimbledon is the worst for 3 weeks my programs dispear and not only on BBC also Dutch tv

...may be should do it like they do with local news thru BBCi "push the red button". I think they already did that!

As an Englishman I cannot allow Wimbledon in to Thread 101. Because...because...Tim Henman's gonna win it this year!

dream on!

btw I am talking about sport on tv and not the actual sport!

just starts some sport channels!

May I nominate those tea caddys that you get in motorway cafes?

Has anyone ever managed to get any tea into their cups from one of those?

first freeze it and the nuked in the microwave to make drinklable
