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

I did watch a world cup final once but only because I'd entered the office sweepstake to be sociable, drawn Brazil and they got to the final

I try and avoid visiting friends when there are big sporting events on, always seem to end up in front of the TV bored out of my mind

I know what you mean...I got involved when they had the rugby world cup last year, but only because it's one of the few things that australia and ireland comepete against each other in (I have told you we go to an Irish pub, yes ?)

On a completely different note...have you got "Mink Car" (TMBG)?

don't think so, doen't ring a
if you say some of the song names I might recognise them and realise i have got it but it might be a total waste of time

It's probably the most recent one...with "Older" and "Boss of Me" and "Cyclops Rock"

nope, don't recognise them
I'll tell my friend off, he reckons hes a fan and he hasn't got the latest album

Maybe he just didn't want to give it to you ??

thats right, hes bad, blast him for me Tanzen

Well, I'll go out for a smoke, hopefully gather up some sort of desire for vengeance, and I'll get back to you !

great (hopes Tanzen doen't have second thoughts and decide that as shes evil the more bad people around the better)

actually cancel that request
I think he did copy it for me but its at the end of the CD and I normally just start at the beginning so I haven't heard it as often as the others but i think there was a song about a Cyclopes and was there 1 about a new car with cats or am I just losing it

I think that's the one

"Cyclops Rock" and "Man it's So Loud in Here" are my favourites off that cd...

I'll play again it today, usually i just stick the whole thing on and have to do something else before I get to it
I need sleep
I'm not sure that makes a whole lot of sense

Don't worry sunshine, I totally understand what you mean !

Good, because i'm not sure i do

Then we're definitely on the same page !!

ok I'm off now
speak in a week or so
I'll miss you

Ian

Oh, I'm sure you will

Ok, I will catch you later, have a good one !!

See, I just couldn't stay away
not here for long, just borrowing my mothers computer after Sunday dinner and the obligatory game of scrabble
I do have Mink Car defnitely and I liked the song about the airport being a nightclub now etc, thats "Its so loud in here" isn't it

I've only ever bought a record because I wanted it, or thought I might like it. Similarly, I've only ever got rid of one if I realised it was a duff performance, or lame work, or if my taste had moved on (I've been collecting now for nearly half a century, and I think it's time I bought a second house, just to stash my records).

The point is, don't give a cuss if other people don't like (or despise) your collection. As a general rule, if someone comes into your house, and starts criticising your furniture and goods, you should think of ending the acquaintance, even if they are 'cool'.

Stand up for your tastes - don't take any cheek.

...and of course one of the big advantages of having a daggy (read un, my non-Aussie brethren ) cd collection is that you don't have to worry about people stealing your music...

...I've already bought 3 Jeff Buckley cds because people keep stealing them !

(Blackberry, Mink Car probably doesn't have anything on Flood, but "Man it's so loud in here" and "Cyclops Rock" are two of my favourite TMBG songs, not to mention Older, which is the ultimate birthday song !)
