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

Hello! This part's called Ask so Ask I shall. Have you done something or achieved something that nobody else here is likely to have done? I was a contestant on the Generation Game. Are there any other Generation Gamers here?

I doubt that's unique. I'm sure I've seen other people on the Generation Game.

Were you the one with the really long nose hair?

Nice answer to B there, lol!

I was walking along path and heard a roar like a lorry and looked over hedge and saw a mini Tornado so walked into field and felt the small branches and twigs bang into me in the fastly spinning wind. A metal garden shed flew right over the owners house and ended in field along with plastic top of a street light and assorted debris! The mini Tornado pased over my head and slowly crossed road where it damaged roofs, bought down some trees and ripped a small club roof off.

Coo! This wasn't in Kansas was it?

I've been concussed - an injury from a blow with a spear, sustained in (mock) battle. That's difficult to achieve in the 21st Century...

In a simular trend I'm the only person I know who's spent several months in a coma. And... well some stuff that I can't probalby mention on here for fear of being yikised...

No, believe it or not, the mini Tornado was in England and we actually get more Tornados than in America!
However, in England ours are mainly mini Tornados which rarely do damage or rarely even seen as most are over countryside. There was one that did a fair amount of damage to a town recently but nothing like the scale of damage that American Tornados do as much bigger.

Oh, and if you count them all, I attended 12 different schools... I was the perpetual new kid!

And we don't build trailer parks in their way either.

19 for me!
I say this not to be competitive (or, gods forbid, one-uppish) but only to illustrate that I really do know what you're talking about and I empathize. Hey, now we have two things in common!

That number 19 includes four different Unis before I finally managed to get a lousy BA from the first one I started at 20 years earlier.

Ah, a kindred spirit!

My 12 don't include Uni, because I'm not yet done with Uni.

Squiggles went to a good school. It was Approved.

"We have all spoken sentences that have never been uttered before."

Which is pretty much just what I was going to say when I saw this thread in my conversation list.

Literally, "deja vu" means "already seen".

I was the first person in Britain to order medical stationery using the new online system set up by 3M when they took over the NHS Prescriptions and Forms contract last year. As soon it was submitted, someone from the Business Services Authority in Cheshire phoned up to congratulate me. I felt so special!

I have actually had to ask somebody with a straight face if they always shower with their produce.

Quote: Edward the Bonobo, "We have all spoken sentences that have never been uttered before." Unquote. That would appear to be especially true of H2G2 from what I've seen so far, but how many here have had a single unique thought or idea?

I have paddled in both the Nile and the Zambezi without picking up bilharzia
