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

The BBC front page has a "Which Kylie are you?" quiz on it. I'm Indie Kylie, if you're wondering. If it's vanished you should still find it at http://www.bbc.co.uk/choice/games/quizzes/kylie_quiz.shtml.

By the by, when did you become an ACE?

Ooooh! *squeals excitedly as by strange coincidence she is actually listening to the Locomotion at this precise minute*
yey! I'm PrincessPopKylie ­ the glamorous, semi-naked, sci-fi babe from the future who cavorts in lasers. The most popular and amazing woman on the planet apparently

Umm I've been an Ace for a few weeks since I whined at Abi one day that I was bored

I wondered if your Locomotion obsession might put you as the earlier Kylie.

*decides not to make any coment about glamorous, semi-naked, sci-fi babes from the future*

I obviously wasn't paying attention. Done any good ACEings yet?

I did try to be the Neighbours bouncey Kylie but failed miserably even with cheating
*thinks wistfully back to the Kylie concert where everything was shiny and silver with lasers*
It would be fun to be like that though I somehow suspect that I may get a few odd looks as I wondered down the street wearing a silver cat suit showering glitter as I go
Ooh but whilst you're not commenting on Kylie being a glamourous semi naked personage (theres a HUGE poster of Kylie in shiny pants in our living room which despite the no posters rule seems to have survived somehow ) did you ever see Cleopatra 2525 or were you in canada by then? It's fantastic!

Umm.. good aceings, I suspect not, I have a feeling I just confused everyone I've spoken to so far!

You can't have cheated that well - just pick the first option each time, Shirley.

I never caught that one, but there's a load of bizarre sci-fi/fantasy stuff on telly. Relic Hunter's rather fun - a Tomb Raider/Indiana Jones thing, but compressed into an hour, so it's always "Where could this ancient artifact be? Let's look in this cave. Oh, there it is," and home in time to set the next mid-term archaeology paper.

Well yeah but some were just too silly to pick...

Oooh it's brilliant! basically I mentioned it as it's this stripped from y2000 who goes to have a boob job but is mistakenly kryogenically frozen and then wakes up in 2525 where she becomes a heroine who has to run round in a bikini and save the world in strip joints and topless bars.. mainly it's a channel 5 merge of scifi with a random excuse for topless shots but it's soooooo funny!

I do remember hearing about it. Do they have any decent excuse why a 20th century stripper is clearly far better at saving the universe than anyone around at the time? You'd think the future James Bonds would be a little upset at being outdone by a frozen tart.

Ooh, a great one was She Spies. Basically Charlie's Angels, but it's vey funny and has little pop up messages and stuff to explain the plot or tell you about the bad guy ("Favourite book: Chicken soup for the evil-doer," I kid you not.).

I think they're excuse is soft porn mainly... ooh but it's available to buy on DVD now! Such amusement, but as it's about £40 I'll be waiting a while.

If I like chicken soup does that make me an eveil doer then?

Surely you've seen the "Chicken soup for the soul" books. They're apparently full of uplifting stories to help you through your day tra-la-la. Never looked at one myself.

I've heard of them.. OOOh you should read Happiness but errm some bloke, it's great, it's all about what happens when someone writes a self help book which actually works, it's so funny

I've heard of that one. Might give it a try. I wonder if the library lists some bloke under S or D.

Well i could look for you but then I'd have to walk allllllllllll the way over to the bokcase

Oh wait i can actually see it from here It's by Will Ferguson... well i assume it's that it coud be wolf fnoogson but I think it's the first one.

Don't worry, I'm bound to forget it anyway.

I don't know, I obliging read the first 7 pages of Pilgrims progress after you said to... admittedly it kinda stopped after the first 7 pages but I tried hard!

I thought I said the book got a bit boring, which was hardly a recommendation to read it.

I got farther than seven pages, though.

I know you did, I seem to think i took it as a challenge

I see...

It's like if you say " That tree couldn't be climbed" or "You couldn't swim in that loch at the top of a mountain in wales as it's too cold" Then I did... and it was

It seems a little odd that "boring" should be considered an obstacle to be overcome. You don't impress people by saying, "It was incredibly boring at times, but I persevered and completed it."

How's things?
