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

...is going to be GREAT!

Thanks to Andy Murrayfor waiting until I got home from Gordon's summer concert last night before blasting into the 4th round of Wimbledon in a nail-biting clock-watching end to a thrillerI'll catch his next match but if he progresses, would someone PLEASE text me so I can tune in from the ship?

When we get home I'll be counting down the days to the Olympics. It was an honour to witness the Flame's procession through Cleethorpes, and I've been quite moved watching (some of) the Flame carriers in the rest of the United Kingdom. The community spirit which has been displayed has been marvellous, did you know Louth's Mayoress even turned out in a sausage costume (in honour of the great Lincolnshire sausage which has just been turned down for a PGI) but of course she's being derided by some who said the outfit was offensive because it looked like a giant penis. (Please choose your keywords carefully if googling for a picture, Pailaway and Auntie Lil). We didn't witness it but Gordon, who is used to hobnobbing with the Great and Good, calls the Mayoral party "the Chain gang", so he when I told him about the Mayoress' costume.

I'd call the frank prank a success, because she brought worldwide coverage to Lincolnshire on a slow news day. Not sure what that's worth to the Tourism Development Board, but I daresay that kind of publicity would cost a *lot* of money. Well done, Mayor. Suffer the slings and arrows now, reap the benefits later.

'lympic torch went through Ponte' - I went from front room to kitchen for something to eat

I agree with you KWDave. In fact the good Mayor inspired me to finish off A68485035 where I've had my little dig.

*cleans spade and puts it away for another day*

Good entry GB, just saw a show about Melton Mowbray Pork Pies yesterday (in between frank prank coverage, heh-heh)

'lympic torch went through Hall Green some 15 minutes away from me in glorious sunshine - I listened on the radio, in bed, while drinking my coffee. 7am was too early for a Sunday for me Missed it in Coventry later too

Simply stunning Galaxy Babe, I'm dead jealous!

Oooh the lovely darius! Did he sing colourblind?
Great photos- Corfu looks really beautiful

Darius sang some new stuff, oldies but with mixed lyrics, it was a bit strange

I am trying to resort the album, I uploaded them all in order they were taken but when I created the album they were all haphazardI still am not sure and the thumbnails are so small

Will check it again tomorrow

Welcome home

So good to see Corfu again

I'll have to take a trip like this one day
