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

Well, I *was* thinking about you lot at the concert I was at last night. I am sure you would have enjoyed the Royal Air Force band, with the delightfully-personable maestro in his dress uniform.

He even led the dancing with the lady choir mistress, then nipped back on stage to finish conducting (we were in the Circle so I couldn't put myself in the right place at the right time)

I did manage to shake hands with him as we were leaving though. If I hadn't been with my partner he would have got a full-on

Swedish triathlon sportsman Jonas Colting has written a book, and this is him on the cover

He has partaken in international triathlons and won quite a few. I watched and listened to an interview with him, where he admitted that he wasn't *completely* naked at the photo shoot - he was wearing female thongs that were photoshopped away since it was a public beach (but at a time where there were few people around). He blushed a bit as he confessed this - cute!

phwoar!

*wonders if they photoshopped all the body hair too?

He's a bit smooth for me.

I'm prepared to overlook a minor detail like that...

Have you all seen A70963716 on the FP that I wrote for you lot???

The Eds have added a pic today...

I thought it was different from yesterday's FP. Are they really Egyptian?

Who? The astronomers?? Who cares, they're almost-nakkied men star-gazing

It's different from Monday's FP because the author of that article complained about the Blue Peter pic.

I had no idea that my entries had been given pics until Tuesday, and one of the pics was on the FP.

On the <./>FrontPage</.> we have http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/blobs/egyptian_astronomers_fp_promo.jpg

And in A73516197 we have http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/blobs/egyptian_astronomer_promo.jpg

TRiG.

If I'd have known you could change the FP pictures, I'd have asked what on earth last week's picture was supposed to be. I couldn't even work out which entry it was supposed to be related to, until I clicked on them all to have a look.

we should write a Drool Entry
imagine the fun we'll all have picking a picture!!

*A* picture? Why settle for just one?

This week's front page (again) has a picture of Lewis Hamilton as well as the Egyptian Astronomers. I can't get over the impression that the astronomer in the foreground could be LH himself!

Droolers, take your pick:

Oooh, lots of men swaying in unison

And may I belatedly compliment the triathlete and over Chris from Autumnwatch?

caught a tiny bit of Pillars of the Earth (?) at the weekend and was over Rufus Sewell. Then last night caught about 2 minutes on Film4 of Tristan and Isolde and there he was again.

I prefer him with his wild curly hair - but I'll take him with short hair as long as he keeps on looking all "come to bed" with those eyes of his.

there he is...

Oh yes, overload!

I keep catching bits of Pillars of the Earth, it does look good.

Rufus Sewell caught my eye in "A Knight's Tale" (what a classic that is turning out to be. (It helps if the protagonist dies. if that doesn't sound all too nice.)

But RS was still eclipsed by James Purefoy in that.

I haven't heard anyone mention Heath Ledger on this thread at all, come to think of it. But Paul Bettany has been ed.... he was Chaucer, remember. Not a pretty sight, but absolutely hilarious!
