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

Unfortunately there will be a long intermission in JAG Season eight is not due until late June. Likewise for the next season of NCIS.

Life is hard for a er...

Provocateuse could start a page of "uniform" - They've certainly hit the spot with "wet", "hands" and "feet" and "glasses"...

Aye, aye Cap'n!

I don't think they update that site any more

Which reminds me, we watched I'm Not There at the weekend - it's a very strange film based on Bob Dylan songs. but anyway... featuring

Christian Bale (who is the guy on the main page of the wet men)

and Heath Ledger

It's been a while since we linked to the wet guys... let's see who we find

gnarffff....

I've seen Iron Man 2 today.

Robert Downey Jnr

BTW have you *seen* the trailers for Spartacus?

Kirk Douglas???

Isn't that a tad late... or is there a remake on its way?

As long as it's not Nicholas Cage.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1442449/ (it's coming up on the Bravo channel)

BTW Sho, someone was listening to your prayers, William Hague is our new Foreign Secretary

I knew that he couldn't fail with that voice.

I actually have him tipped as a future leader of the party and maybe PM...

Pity he has a face for radio, though!

Watched QI on Friday - which is something I never usually manage. And am totally in lurve with Ben Miller who turns out to be another boffin.

and he snogged Rob Brydon!

and he did complicated maths (ok, with a square root)
and oooohhhh looky! Ben Miller and the Rammster

That cheered me up! I'm not un-cheerful, though, really. Have just updated my PS with an account of the weekend meet.

Sho - I'm really sorry, I didn't read your second text until I got back to the hotel. You know, the one about RF. So I couldn't tell him. You'll have to tell him yourself.

If you want to read my account, you'll have to scroll quite a way through the "Meets I have been to" section. It was my 15th meet!

Nice description of the meet, TC. (and don't worry about the TXT it was only on the off-chance anyway)


So... I received my copy of Wonders of the Solar System yesterday

One of which is Brian Cox?

indeed.
As #2 Gruesome calls it (with a ) The Wonders of the Professor.

But she did enjoy the Story of Science this week as it was about steam engines mostly. But nothing that James Burke hasn't done before and better.
I'm in terminal lurve with Geeky guys on the TV

I've been introducing the Gruesome Twosome, very gently, to Shakespeare - via the Shakespeare Retold DVD that I gave for his birthday.

We watched the Scottish Play (the reason I got it) featuring the lovely James McAvoy as the Chef MacBeth.

Over this long weekend we've seen Much Ado About Nothing with the rather gorgeous Damien Lewis

But my favourite, -wise, was The Taming of the Shrew with a cross-dressing Rufus Sewell

I best remember him for "A Knight's Tale" - still the film with the most ever - nearly everyone in it has been a favourite of this thread at some time.

as I mentioned to : we should rent that one. I'd be pretty quiet watching that (but would need a ) and he and the Gruesomes would like it for what it is, a fun film.

Why rent when you can buy for £3.99? There's also used for sale at less than £2, might have to pay postage abroad though

I've given up buying DVDs (except the ones featuring Brian Cox ) becuase they just take up space.
