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

Oh you sound just like Sean Bean...

If you're up north Clive why the hell did I think you were in Australia?

I've no idea TMP.

There is no need to either break up the address or to use tinyurl (other url shorteners are available).

Observe: http://books.google.com/books?id=FefnnLMhVy8C&pg=PA384&lpg=PA384&dq=PACE%27+must+offer+solicitor+advice&source=bl&ots=8jp0EyWCLV&sig=G9gXxc6h7g2THuUzJhn4azhCxek&hl%20=en&ei=kI3fSr28BIj44AaWws0h&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1%20&ved=0CA8Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=&f=false

I enter the full url as it is (spanning five lines in this comments box) and h2g2 shortens it for me.

TRiG.

me neither which is odd.

Hmm, this is gonna annoy me for ages now.

Interesting Trig, if it comes to it, I'll point that out to them.

See I, as someone who is actually from Oop North, wouldn't class Clive as a Northerner at all. He's one of those irksomely hard to define middle folks.

But E ain't be from baart these parts, that be for sure.

is he LOCAL???????

Imputing aspersions on my bone fides are we?

this is a local thread, for local people!!!

we'll have no trouble here

WE DIDN'T BURN HIM !!!! !

beware

warner, stanley and julzes

they covet the prescious things of the shop

As somebody who is from the, apparently, nether regions of Oop North I am well awar that there are graduations of Oop Northness that the less secure (and more northerly ) folk like to remind people of.

But come on - Even though he apparently resides in Chesterfield, he does travel to Yorkshire (on a daily basis I think?)

I suppose this isn't the right thread to resurrect the UDI for Yorkshire movement?

In fairness, if you look at a map of the UK mainland, yorkshire/lancashire are really the midlands...

Heretic!

Well, South Yorkshire isn't really Yorkshire at all

Hey hey hey, we don't want them, thank you very much!

South Yorkshire not part o' Yorkshire

I'll ave thee know that what is now South Yorkshire (spit) was once part o't West Riding!

t.

I'm saying that as somebody who has strong scots roots, a lot of scots blood and knows that yorkshire is a LONG way down from the highlands cos I lived there...

I only *look* and *sound* like a southerner. I'm not really!

Ah the old highlands versus lowlands, I'll take the high road versus the low road and I'll get there afore ye argument.

Here in Nova Scotia (New Scotland) the word sassenach was just about the worst insult one could hurl. Especially on Robbie Burns night when there was a whole lotta hurling going on.
