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

I'd have bought neither...

Last year I had a lovely one of dressage horses, and the year before it was heavy horses at work, log pulling, ploughing, harrowing, pulling heavy wagons. Beautiful!

I find people boring after a few days, let alone a month at a time.

every year my wife gets me a y calender for my library

You have a whole library of calendars?

Blimey, I think I will stick with my more modest calendar!

I've got an MC Escher calendar. I think tomorrow's either Tuesday or perpendicular Junetober.

Nope,` just leave it there, it shows what a sad place this really is for all its up itself cleverness.

Yeah, because one near the knuckle joke that you didn't laugh at means we're all scumbags.


Do you walk around with your fingers in your ears, or just stop dead in the middle of the street, quivering with rage and screaming "YOU ARE OFFENDING MEEEEE!" until people just give up and wander away?

Actually that is at least the third posted joke about her, for a place that has such a high regard for itself it seems odd that taking the micky out of people who have just died of cancer and aren't even buried yet is ok. I have seen and known too many people who have died of cancer to ever think it funny.

So because you don't find them funny, we're all sick?

oh for 's sake .. are you all getting at one another's throat now?? for a joke???

I'm off

no xantic i dont

when we moved into our house, the previous owner ran his bussiness from home and had an office in the extention, i claimed the office as "my room" put up book shelves and filled them with my books, got a nice comfy reading chair, a beer fridge and a lamp, and lately the computer went in there, every year for crimbo the wife gwts me a y calender for the back of the door, and my simple life is compleate....

as everyone is having fits about off taste jokes i will make myself the target so you can all gang up on me

people die, people make jokes, its a coping mechanism


its a bit dated, but here goes.......


does anyone want any half price concert tickets?????

Mel & Kim!!!!!!

I haven't bought a lads mag since the early FHMs came out for no other reason than I resent paying the price they ask.
However, this thread has made me nostalgic for the days when I was dating a model agent. She used to send me down the shops to buy the latest top shelfers so she could check how her girls photo shoots had turned out. You get some odd looks in McColls when you go up to the counter with a dozen porn mags I can tell you.

Someone mentioned Mayfair earlier. I used to like their classic car features, they were better than the ones in the proper car mags and always had superb photos. Oh, and Lil, tell hubby to hang on to that Pirelli calendar, they are highly collectable now.

Opti says she can't see the point of lads mags, I feel the same about womens mags. I hadn't really taken any notice of them until we had the rest area done out at work. Then it was decided by someone that we needed a literature table like the doctors waiting room and the next day we were up to our ears in 'OK' magazine and 'Wimmins Realm'. Talk about drivel, they are like a humourless magazine equivalent to the 'Seinfeld' show, an entire magazine about nothing, full of stories about nothing with people who do nothing.

the weeklys like zoo and nuts are better than fhm (more nipple)
and they are around £1.50 ish

So, that's £6.50 month?

i dont get them every week, it gets very samey and boring that way,

just one every now and again, usually the wife gets me one with the shopping

Taff, I think you will have to explain that one, many don't know who Mel'n'Kim were let alone that one of them died very young of spine cancer, sadly. I am not 100% certain but think they were sisters. They did a sort of lightweight regae/early days rap.

No, I don't know who Mel 'n Kim were. )'twas me who mentioned Mayfair mag + vintage/classic cars etc etc. I kept them for a long time because of these features but I think they're now long gone.. I also mentioned the Carrie cartoon therein. I actually found her more sexy than the girlie photos
