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

OK girls I've been watching you, but am struck dumb by all this name-dropping. Who are all these people? I've seen all these programmes, but can't fit the names together too well. I am very familiar with Stargate and find the best looking person on that is Sam. The others are all really nice guys and I wouldn't mind being stuck in a lift with any of them.

Oooh, there's lots I could say on the subject and would love to join in though. What about the men we used to drool over when we were at school. Like the Men from U.N.C.L.E. or the Walker brothers.

As for kisses - there really has to be lots of chemistry in there to back it up. Scully and Mulder are really delicious people, but PLEASE ! spare me them kissing. It doesn't come off. Nobody has yet beaten Bogey and Bacall. Those 40's films - left it all to your imagination - better than any film!

Well, and, as I say, I have here on offer a load of scrumptious 18-year-olds, friends of my sons. They walk in and out of our house and I don't know where to look. I keep offering them Coke and fruit and beer and finding excuses to talk to them........ gets me quite flustered it does sometimes.!!!

sorry - had to post quickly - son came into room...

As for Andromeda. Have just watched episode 2 very attentively. My choice is Seamus Harper. Reminds me of Tim Roth. But better. Those dimples - those mischievous eyes !! Does he have an Irish accent in the original version? In that case - hand me your bib, AGB!

To get back to kisses - the most erotic kiss I can remember in recent times involves Bruce Willis. It was the one in The Jackal where he kisses that government employee in the gay bar.

And the one film that is guaranteed to make me go gooey is Terminator. Michael Biehn is just so ... er ... masculine in it. And he gets the girl.

We have some nice looking characters in Germany. Not the ones that get exported to Hollywood to play the baddies, I mean the real stuff. In the six part televised version of "Das Boot" (the story about the submarine crew in the second WW) I fell in love with the captain, played by Jürgen Prochnow. Come to think of it, he did go to Hollywood to play baddies. Haven't liked him since, though.

Anyone who comes with an accent has a head start as far as I am concerned. I swoon at Austrian accents, Yorkshire accents. Perhaps they exude more personality.

OK - that's my little bit for the time being. I think I'll go to bed and see what's in my head tonight.

Heh heh. I've been expecting you for a while!

friends of your son in and out all the time... just popping down to see you this weekend...

OK in Andromeda Harper has, unfortunately, an American accent. He is a little cutie, but for the real rumpy pumpy it's got to be Tyr. In fac you're getting a rumpy pumpy ep soon, so don't miss Double Helix.... If I could just get another dish on my roof I could watch the German stuff too. Ho hum.

I'm all letched out today. Just watched (twice, because I told the ol' man that I hadn't watched it when he got home from work, so we watched it together) the new ep of Stargate. And Daniel Jackson was wearing a tshirt and has sprouted muscles!!!!!!!! *faints*
Major Slurp.

When I was a kid I wanted to be Mrs. Virginian. Remember him? Can't for the life of me think what the actor was called. And I loved Scot Tracey, even if he was a puppet! And Steve Austin, loved him. And of course, I wanted to marry Mr. Chekhov from Star Trek. Must have been the accent!

Remember Simon Dee?

Welcome TC!
*hands TC her own specially-embroidered bib*
I watched the first ep. of Stargate last night and couldn't take my eyes off Michael Shanks's biceps...
The lads were wearing short-sleeved t-shirts the whole ep and mmmmmm
I also watched the Stargate at 5pm, from the first series.
Poor Kowolski.
When is the new Trek starting?
I am getting really antsy now
Have any of you seen "Galaxy Quest"? I mention this because the cast of Farscape mentioned they saw the film, right before they filmed the episode when they were all captured and "grilled" in that chair...when old iron-face was blasted to atoms. They thought the ep. was "star-trek" themed and between takes mentioned that film. Apparently they were laughing every two minutes, whereas the rest of the audience were laughing every ten minutes.
{I read this in that interview in the magazine I borrowed off WH Smith's shelf}

Excuse me, but I have to go take a cold shower.
The thought of going to the pictures with Ben Browder has really made me

Simon Dee.... ah, before my time I think.. sorry

Um. Ben Browder... going to the pictures... being in the dark with Ben Browder.... where's the flamin' smiley?

Yesterday I watched Stargate: at breakfast, in the evening (with the gruesomes), later in the evening (Bicep ep), when my hub got home (Bicep ep again) and this morning.... do you think I need therapy?

Ben Browder... pictures.... I'm going to implode!

Oh yes... why I came here.

Tyr said the Niezchians (TC: how do we spell that?) only have sex for procreation?? Have you seen those people? They're so physical they must like it or they wouldn't do it so often. Although, they do have a lot of kids so I suppose at least the men get plenty. But Tyr hasn't had any action since Double Helix in S1 so he must be, frankly, bursting by now!

Blimey Sho!
You got that post in while I was writing mine!

And, surprise, surprise, we were both talking about the same thing!!!!

~slurp~ indeed.
My heart-throbs when I was younger....
OK, definately The Man from Uncle boys, Illya Kuryakin for his accent & baby blues, Napoleon Solo for his smoothness....~drool~
Oh, Captain Scarlet made my heart beat fast too!
And the Tracey boys in International Rescue {I have an older brother who used to hate me drooling every time he wanted to watch}
Adam Adamant! That was Gerald Harper, I believe, don't remember the plots but I remember my mother having a very flushed face
Ivanhoe...a very young Roger Moore, and The Adventures of Robin Hood with the very attractive Richard Green...

Ed Straker in UFO, the blond bombshell. {Ed Bishop?} I also loved the purple wigs the girls wore.

Ooh! Almost forgot Troy Tempest!!!! I used to swoon over him, and the lovely Marina...the mysterious water-breather Broke my heart when he married Atlanta, his boss's daughter!

Jamie {Frazer Hines} in Dr.Who....was it the kilt, I wonder? Nah. Must have been the accent!

Accents...I love accents! Never fancied Chekov though, that wig!My fancy from old trek was Kirk. I loved Sean Connery's Russian accent in Red October, and John Cleese was unforgettable in Fish called Wanda, when he spoke Russian to Jamie Lee Curtis & charmed her pants off

I will be thinking some more on this subject {probably all day as I have some painting to do} and get back to you.
Hold that thought!


*wipes chin*

at Sho, you managed to get *another* post in while I was writing mine!

I know.....Ben Browder....pictures.....in the dark

Only got a couple of minutes, so nice to have Stargate back, Jack is so

Adored Men from UNCLE, loved both of them!

As for sons' friends, well how about one who asks if he can make a cup of tea and asks if you want one! He is keen to emigrate to the US and has been accepted in to the FBI training college. I shall miss him, he is rally a lovely lad!

What about Paul Newman? Those eyes! Harper has the same twinkle. Its the twinkle that gets me every time!

Gotta go.

where's the smiley?? How could I have not mentioned Captain Scarlet??????? I loved him. Had a doll, and a Scot Tracey.

Steve McQueen... I go for the tragic.. (keep thinking of Ben Bowder and his leather trousers in the back row of the pictures....) ahem... yes I go for the tragic ones like (ok, now I'm in the back row with BB on one side and Daniel Jackson and his biceps on the other... I'd love to watch them two wrestling over me... <cold shower&gt

Got to lie down now.

Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise. Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Kevin Bacon in Apollo 13. Ewan McGregor in anything. (Just to show that American doesn't have all the best men.)

Love Galaxy Quest - great film! Hilarious!

OK - and I'm in with you on Tyr. Baggy first to put my hands under that designer chainmail.

Good grief GB! I remember having my first teen crushes on those very same characters...Are you sure that you're not me posting as an alternative researcher? Heh! Heh!

Out of the Tracy boys, I always had a hankering for Virgil and even now, when I watch Thunderbirds with my son, I am convinced that there was something going on between him and Lady Penelope. Do you remember the episode where Virgil rescues Lady P from the path of a train and the "intimate" look they exchanged as he lay next to her? (By the way, I've taped nearly all the Thunderbirds episodes for my son. Yes, I said for HIM!!! *Crosses her fingers behind her back*)

As for "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."...

*Slips on her puddle of drool*

I don't know when "Enterprise" is due to air in the UK, but it's due to air in the US this Autumn sometime.

You don't remember Simon Dee Sho? Hah! Pull the other one! I remember him and used to find him incredibly irritating...

Paul Newman? Yay!

*Wanders off for a very cold showers muttering something about nice young men with muscular biceps, blue eyes and gorgeous smiles*

This morning, whilst in the car with my hubby, who was driving I made eye contact with a nice, ruggedly handsome young man, who was cutting the grass verge alongside the road. We were driving very slowly around a roundabout and as he looked right at me and my stomach just "went". At this point I uttered something along the lines of "Ay yi yi!!", to which my hubby wanted to know what was up, so I confessed and he has now promised to buy me a flasher's mac for Crimbo!

We will have to wait for the New Year for Sky to air 'Enterprise'

Now, girls, I am going to admit to something really heinous...........

I watch 'Neighbours', but you must understand that it is purely for the fact that Drew is so gorgeous and no other reason...

Honest!

Well, there are plenty of droolable males about, obviously. Is anyone going to let on how they actually ~drool~? I mean - what goes on in your head? I'm not sure I'm ready to divulge, at least not when sober, and not here. Maybe we ought to start a yahoo thread on that!

*wanders off, bib in hand, trying to get that walk right, you know - like Geena Davis did after she and Brad Pitt had............*

Hmmmmm
Well, I must admit I get butterflies in the tummy, and my nether regions get all hot and bothered, and my juices start to flow....
If I'm alone, I stick my tongue out and lick my lips.
I like to close my eyes and imagine that I am the one in their arms being kissed
Very easy to imagine when you spend your life alone & there is plenty of letch in front of your eyes.
Fodder for fantasy too


I dream of finding a man who will make my toes curl the way my fantasies do.
Or will I carry on letching, even if I find such a man?
Forgive me, but aren't you all with partners?
I swear, sometimes I kiss the pic of Robert Beltran when I pass him.
As for my calendar of Westlife, well that is stuck on August.....Shane Filan.....oh, all 21 years & drop dead gorgeous & beautiful Irish accent....yum yum yum.
~drool~
I have kids older than him!


Off to bed.

Good night. Sweet dreams.

How do I ~drool~... I'm with GB, although maybe a tad more restrained.

And yes GB, I'm married. Although my husband is working most evenings leaving me to letch with abandon.

I really don't know who Simon Dee is. We're all about the same age, right? So who is he, where can I see him (then & now)?

I'm a terrible flirt on the phone sometimes with our customers, but they all like me so I call it "being in sales" and "keeping the customers happy"... not outrageous flirting, but I'm sure that when I meet the guy I've been exchanging e-mails with next week it's going to be strange if he's 5'2" fat and balding and fifty!!!

Gwennie, when you get your mac I want pics!

Oh yes - the thrill of talking to absolute strangers on the phone and using innuendoes. Come on - everyone enjoys that, surely!!!
Fortunately for me, my voice sounds younger than I am - so I can get away with it a lot. Plus which, I mustn't forget that I'm the one with the accent when speaking to Germans, which makes me a little "exotic". (The accent seems to come over stronger on the phone). When I fantasise about a 'phone acquaintance, he is usually tall, dark and handsome until proved otherwise. Only once was I unpleasantly surprised, but at least phone calls with him - a short fat ugly one, and old to boot - were still nice.

And we all know from women's mags that imaginative ladies shut their eyes when fulfilling their marital duties and can claim to have slept with most of the heartthrobs from the small and silver screens. (In our heads, anyway.) Although, by the time my husband's finished, Mr Dream is still only meeting my eyes over the first glass of wine.

Dare I post this? Dare you answer? Who will read it? Who cares?

After all, what is letching, if not in your head?

Yes, I'm married too (second time), not had our first anniversary yet, aaahh! Been together for 9 years, or is it 10?

But I was on my own for 5 years before that, so can still remember those full on drools! Now it is a little more sedate, but my heart does flutter, or perhaps its palpitations at my age!

Scott Tracey was always the puppet for me, Captain Troy in Stingray was rather lovely too.

I had the Scott doll, but I liked Virgil too. I was convinced he had a thing going with Penelope - tart!!

I have to say that I've never actually closed my eyes and thought of someone else during "doing it" - maybe I should give it a go. Although I have often wondered what "it would be like with.... (insert letch of the moment)"

So is anyone going to let me in on the Simon Dee thing?

Remember Robert Powell as Jesus... phwoar!
