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

Me too Sho! On the brighter side of having a mouth full of metal, we could perhaps find ourselves cast in Bond movies as Jaws stereotypes.

puh-lease do not talk to be about James Bond movies.

In the 70s my whole family would go to the cinema when the latest Bond film came out, and really enjoy it. Especially the car chases. But watching that pile of poo last night has put me right off.

Mind you, some of the Bond villans would be worth biting. *wracks brains*

Oh, off the top of my head... Sean Bean for example!

I'm sure it's my fillings that set off security gates at the airport What's more I never get patted down by the young men, I always get the hard faced female.

OH, I missed it!!

Party! We have 5000 posts!



Help yourselves.

those new PC security rules are horrible.

Bring back the nice, patting, young men!

Simulpost .

The SKC in Berlin had a Bond week, showing all Sean Connery's 007 films in one week, we went every night and each one was a cracking film. It ruined me for any others afer that.

But Peirce Brosnan makes the best Bond since, it's just the films that have let him down.

I have to say that in terms of dialogue and little touches, Die Another Day wasn't bad.

But the Halle Berry thing coming out of the sea... well, they may say "tribute to Dr. No" I just say "running out of ideas"

I could sit through any number of Sean Connery Bond films. Mostly because of the car chases and action, but his voice is very and the villans were just so over the top.

I was disgusted that the one I watched last night didn't have a white fluffy cat on his knee.

I disagree, Pierce Brosnan makes my knees go weak. And I never saw anything in Sean Connery.

I still enjoy the Bond films - we used to go as a family to the cinema too when they came out, albeit the Roger Moore ones.

BTW I read this morning that as well as Troy they are also doing a film about Alexander the Great. With Colin Farrel in the title role. Blond.

Here's the cast list for Troy:
Brad Pitt .... Achilles
Eric Bana .... Hector
Orlando Bloom .... Paris
Diane Kruger .... Helen
Sean Bean .... Odysseus
Brian Cox .... Agamemnon
Peter O'Toole .... Priam
Brendan Gleeson .... Menelaus
Saffron Burrows .... Andromache
Rose Byrne .... Briseis
Julie Christie .... Thetis
Garrett Hedlund .... Patroclus
Vincent Regan .... Eudorus
Adoni Maropis .... Agamemnon's Officer

And here's the one for Alexander

:
Colin Farrell .... Alexander
Jared Leto .... Hephaestion
Anthony Hopkins .... Ptolemy
Rosario Dawson .... Roxanne
Angelina Jolie .... Olympias
Gary Stretch .... Cleitus
Jonathan Rhys-Meyers .... Cassander
Val Kilmer .... Philip

Halle Berry is beautiful. I'll agree with you there.

over both listssss.....

as an aussie I do go for eric bana though

*from the backlog*

I the descriptions of children in this thread.

LSF: snotlings
Sho: gruesomes
Mr P: sprogs


My grown-up children are my best friends, so stick with it, girls!

The male lurker I have met, and I can vouch he's male and he's not coely.
He said via email that I *can* say who he is, he just didn't want to get into trouble by revealing how he does certain things...
ooh er Mrs.

So, anyone who wants to know his identity, I'll spill the beans via email
Oh and he's not a regular lurker *here*. He dropped by when I asked the original question...

This is my very first attempt at "post reply in another window" whilst holding open the thread and turning to the next twenty posts on another windowso if I lose all I've typed

Eek, still another 60 posts to read

I saw the front cover of the Radio Times and thought of you, coely!

I imagined you ing all over the newsagent's floor



When did I join this thread?
I started it!
I read Sho's post in the <./>askh2g2</.> thread in which she was letching Tyr from Andromeda.
So I flew over to her message centrefor some serious girl-talkthen we got so famous they even made this thread our own smileyof which we're very proud
The rest is history.

Sometimes this thread is very quiet but sometimes you log on & find it in your message centre with "posted 4 days ago - 79 new posts"

then make yourself a orand settle down to read the backlog.

The longer you hang around, the more you get to know about the people here and their favourite s plus we are all watchful and alert the others about upcoming things to over....

Data...still one of my original drools....I was so broken over the last Star Trek film I wish I could go back in time and not watch it.


Sho, I thought I was the only woman here who over Jadzia Dax!
That wedding with Worf, both in red leather....
Must dig that video out & replay....

Halle Berry is absolutely gorgeous....

The Oscars are tonight...Jonathon Ross introduces them at 10.55pm on BBC1 then there's a film {Throw Momma from the train} then the Oscars ceremony itself is live at 00.50am. Until 5am.
I won't be staying up for it all, but I'll tape it

congrats Sho & the rest of us ers on 5,000 posts!
{just in case you're on tablets, like me}

Teeth - the bane of my life.
I hate my teeth.
I also have more fillings than untouched teeth, and also a gold tooth, which sparks off conversations when I smile too widely.....and I hate talking about my teeth. One dentist drilled away my two front teeth to stumps then put porcelain caps on, at different times, and they don't matchso I try to smile without showing my teeth.

I bought my son "Finding Nemo" yesterday and I can't wait to see it.


My, my this is going to be one huge post, I just hope the server can handle it...

Finding Nemo is fabulous, we were given it from an American friend just before Christmas, and I was knocked out by the quality.

And Ellen Degeneres is fab as Dory, I can really sympathise with her short term memory thing.

Trying to decide what to letch over while ironing today. Johnny Depp in Gilbert Grape or Johnny Depp and -boy in some film.

decisions decisions

We've been swimming this morning for the first time in ages. Gruesome #1 did 10 lenghts today, 2 of them all on her own.

Gruesome #2 finally decided she wants to learn to swim so used the float-belt instead of armbands, which is much better. Now she's tidying her room! maybe she's been abducted by aliens.

do like the Troy cast list

but am re-reading the Illiad at the mo. and seems they've not cast a Diomedes *wails* the first half of the action of the Illiad is Diomedes this that and the other.
*tries to focus*
Sean Bean as Odysseus

oh - and girls, I suggest being reborn as Rosamund Pike, if you want to be born as a Bond Girl. Every guy I know prefers her to Halle Berry.

We've been swimming again, too. We had a chip card with some money still on from when we last used to go. It was still in D-Marks! I had hoped I was losing a bit of weight, but put my mucking-about jeans on yesterday and they are really tight.

Hmm Lent is a good excuse to diet I suppose.

If only someone would take all the off the shelves in the supermarkets.

... and

I'm not a Christian but I find Lent a convenient time to try things like fit back into old jeans. This year I've given up and am on a sort of diet.

The cast of Troy looks fab, anything with Bean, Pitt and -boy gets my vote. Only Johnny Depp is missing!

My hubs thinks Halle Berry is the best thing since sliced bread, and "looks good in a uniform too... er, not that you didn't... er I mean..."

The pills I've been taking have enabled me to lose 2lbs this week. I take them about 10 minutes before a meal and they slow the food down as it passes through, so you feel very full and therefore eat less. Except I forgot them before lunch But it will be a bit hit and miss whether I can get in to my favourite summer skirt that I want to take on holiday next week. I shall work extra hard at the gym tomorrow.

Anyone to over on tv tonight?

Are these Diet Pills, Caerwynn, or for something else with a great side effect?

I can't find anything to letch over. I'm still trying to decide which of my 4 DVDs to watch. I'm quite sure it will have swords in it though.

tonight on telly is, The Oscars. At 1am brit-time. Nice men in suits - like Jude Law. And Adrien Brody. And maybe Elijah Wood. And Jeremy Irons nearly always seems to show up.

*stockpiles the caffeine*

They are diet pills of a sort, Sho: Zotrim, they are herbal and haven't been found to have any adverse side effects.
