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

Wish Andrew would have a lie-in

He woke me at 6am, chasing the round the living room.

Can't remember the last time anyone made me a

I went to bed at midnight, left a tape running on the last 2 hours of Comic Relief, sorry you missed it Gwennie!

I can't watch the last 2 hours yet as I'm taping the wrestling for my dad.

That picture was Sho! I can see why you like him so much he was definately on that from Scunthorpe to Grimsby last Sunday



*waves to lurkers*

*still speechless after ing over Orlando*

don't you lot ever say I don't do anything for you!!

Just think, Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom!!




so... who's next?
Lenny Henry is quite lovely...

Lenny Henry was great last night!
They raised £25 million!

I've just put the tape on, and just after I went to bed, Ruby Wax & Jo Brand did a double-act {in their underwear} of the Cheeky Girls "We are the Cheeky Girls"

Ruby looked great in silver knickers but Jo Brand was incredibly brave...

Ooh, Graham Norton on now

Strange, Graham Norton just gave the running total as £27 and a half million {at midnight}.

Pheloxi told me the total for the night was £25 million

35million!

My fault, pheloxi can't read

35million!!!!!



and there'll be more to come from the Gareth Gates single and still to be sold.

Year 5 is 9-10 years old. The class I was in was mixed year 5/6, and the eight year 5s were the top of the year.

Some of the stuff these kids are learning at junior level is quite scary. Improper fractions, passive verbs, foreign languages (German years 3 and 4, Franch years 5 and 6).

The following actually occured. Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Sputnik: Mr Prophet; I don't understand passive verbs.
Mr Prophet: Well, that makes two of us. Um...I think it's that with a passive verb you say it as something is being done to something else by someone, instead of that someone is doing something to something else.
Lisa Simpson: So it's when the object is over the subject in the sentence.
Mr Prophet: Um...

Truly terrifying. But in a good way.

Those waiting for a picture of me in my pyjamas should not hold their breath. It's not like I have a camera or anything.

There's now't wrong with being 50 is there Sho? After all it's only four and a bit years away for me and I'd hate to think that something awful might happen like my bum dropping off or all my hair falling out...

Sorry about Andrew's early morning energy GB. Chris used to be like that and be up in the night too, until I adopted the policy of letting him to run about until he dropped at night, which in turn allowed me a good night's sleep.

I promise that if you ever visit me GB (you're always welcome to by the way), then I'll make you a whole pot of !

Lenny Henry Sho? He's a very talented comedian and I like him heaps but not to over!

*Disappointed at not being able to see a picture of Mr P in his jimjams*

What's this about Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom being in the same film? I missed something. It's not one out now is it?

JE

Sho would be the one to ask about that.

Gwennie, honest, nothing awful will happen to anyone who turns 50 except that in my case it will be re-living the 40 mid-life-crisis and I'll probably buy a 2 seater sports car and wear leather trousers a lot.

JEllen: Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom are currently (I think, maybe they've finished now) filming some Pirate film, the name of which escapes me because I just see those names and my eyes mist over...) in the Carribean. Maybe it's called Pirates of the Caribbean? I see from imdb that it's a swashbucklin' thing (their tagline is, apparently: "prepared to be blown out of the water") The able Johnny Depp is listed first, the even more Orlando Bloom is 3rd which looks good to me. (did you check out the last link I posted, that's OB from the film)

Mr. P: sorely disappointed with the news that there will be no jammie pics of you. I'll just have to imagine. so I'm thinking brushed cotton, white with blue stripes....

This weekend I have a fellow Stargate fan here, it's absolute bliss watching an ep with her that we can discuss minutely and know that the other person doesn't think we're completely whacko. Although the hubs has a lot to say about our ravings.

Hmmm, I'll be looking for it then. Coming out this summer I guess? Director Peter Weir has a film coming out with ships in it that looks like a swashbuckler, and stars Russell Crowe I think. Saw a preview, and I can't remember the exact title, something like "Beyond the Edge of the World".

JE

Thanks Gwennie!

Oh kids of age 9/10 are great, I loved my kids at that age. They thought I was the centre of the Universe and were always writing me love notes and demanding hugs and kisses.

Then they became teenagers and totally self-centred.

Unfortunately I embarrased the h*ll out of them by becoming pregnant and I remember Helen could barely look at me.

Then they all left home at 17 years of age.....and they became my friends.

My relationship with my own parents has changed drastially too.
I used to be a bit scared of my father but as I grew older we had a few set-to's and now I take them shopping once a week and I feel like I'm their parent.

I'm a bit closer to the big 50 than you, Gwennie, my ex-husband was 50 yesterday and his wife put a big birthday greeting in the local paper. My older kids were all invited to have a meal with them at the Trading Post not far from me, then had to pay for their own meals!
Oh well, at least I got to see Helen on Friday and yesterday as well, she dropped by to say goodbye till who knows when.

I let Andrew run riot once but it still doesn't wear him out, so he has a set bedtime now, which I stick to rigidly. I need peaceful evenings to unwind after the 3.15pm tornado hits my house.

I'm actually looking forward to being 50+

I'll be free, sometime in that decade.

If I'm not mistaken, Some of the hobbits, or one at least, is in that film with Russell Crowe... the little Scottish one.

have I ever mentioned how tasty the chappie from Law and Order and Miss Congeniality is? Goes under the unlikely name of Benjamin Bratt, but nevertheless worth a

Got some recordings to catch up on as we were out last night, Taken and Jonathan Creek.

I didn't think too much of Johnny Depp till I saw him in Chocolat and I would happily sail in to the sunset with him. Well, in VR as Iwouldn;t want to really abandon H

As for approaching 50, H had better start saving as I would like to go on the Queen Mary 2 which is being launched next year, they have a year to iron out the wrinkles, wish I could do the same with mine!

I'm afraid I'm more conventional. Johnny Depp and your Elf are a bit too ethereal for me. Last night we had MI2 on TV and there is not one shot where Tom Cruise does not come over as

The baddy (Dougray Scott - A Scot!) is not bad, too:

And you lot are really making me homesick with your Lenny Henry and Rowan Atkinson. I think I'd just Lenny H to death, he's so nice. Mr A is OK too, if you're so desperately expatriated like me.

British males are helping me keep alive at the mo. One of my most treasured possessions is a ticket to a Robbie Williams concert in July. HOpe it doesn't clash with the summer meet. Is there a date for that yet?

PS Caerwynn. I found Chocolat quite disappointing as a film. Even my kids' friends loved it and said they had to make themselves a cup of cocoa when they got home. The whole caboodle left me cold. Something missing in that film. Perhaps because it was so unreal. However I read another book by wassername who wrote "Chocolat" and quite enjoyed that.

*runs to bookshelf* Joanne Harris her name is.



Thoughts on eyebrows.

Leo di Caprio and Brad Pitt's best features are their eyebrows. Love them both and their acting. Have you ever noticed their eyebrows? I wonder if they have them plucked to be so perfect and innocent, or if they're really like that.

I haven't seen Chocolat yet and don't suppose I will until it's on telly...Not sure why, but it just didn't appeal to me.

Leo di Caprio and Brad Pitt's eyebrows most likely are the result of make-up artists' attentions.

*Plays with her own magnificent bushy brows that are never plucked*



I could substitute a few choice words in that last comment to make it worthy of moderation!

Gwennie I'm shocked!



No date as I know of yet, TC, as soon as I hear anything I'll announce it here.

I've not seen Chocolat either Clelba enjoyed it, she's a teenager...

Don't like Leo di Caprio or Brad Pitt!! So I've not studied their eyebrows too closely....

Wasn't Benjamin Bratt married to Julia Roberts once?

Jack Dee, you would have at him TC, when Jonathon Ross said Julia Roberts had wished him luck {he suffers from vertigo and he was atop a 50' pole to raise money for Comic Relief...} he said
"She's a fruitcake. She never leaves me alone"



I hate to tell you this, TC, but Robbie Williams was on Comic Relief. Butt naked.
I kid you not.
And he's in today's "News of the World" he had his chest shaved and a new tattoo like a necklace, in French, "Each to his own" - apparently he had to have breaks every 15 minutes as it was so painful.

Rowan Atkinson. It's a love/hate thing. Loved him as Blackadder 3, hated Blackadders 2 & 4.
Loved his Dr Who, hated Mr Bean.

I also adore Lenny Henry.
He's cute, funny, and sexy too.

Taken was good last night, next week's is the last one!
I won't comment as Caerwynn said it's on tape...

I've bought a ton of shares in Russell Crowe at my celebdaq portfolio, he's spending a fortune on his upcoming wedding apparently.
Stinks of "cleaning up his act" so he gets in with a chance of more Oscars, that does.

Am I the most unromantic soul on ??

Not looking forward to tomorrow at all.No Farscape

I will be going to see "Mr Deeds" on Tuesday morning, you can expect a full report.
