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

Oi, mate, I thought I'd gotten myself in some drunken messes!?!?!?

I bow to the master of drunken stupidity!

some respect at last,go on tell me you most moment

My most moment? D@mn, that'd be a tough one to narrow down...


How about when we got drunk, went to a local playground, and managed to cram 5 grown adults into the very top of a rocketship, where we nearly got stuck!

and you got the cheek to bow to me,with five of you in there surely one of you could have been the pilot, that would have been fun

I'm just glad we didn't tip the thing over, we must have been 15 or 20 feet up!

imagine four of you being hurt, you would have been the lone ranger couldnt resist that.

Oh, that was BAD!

this is a true story in todays papers, a man with a life size toy mechanical terrier set off security detectors in norfolk airport virginia,armed security staff were alerted when the toys wind breaking mechanism registered as high explosive on equipment.fbi agents held the passenger who watch in amazement when agents took a series of swabs from the toys rear end. only in america

Good grief, what have we been reduced to?

a lot of this stuff doesnt get told in the states ,i wonder why?, i think the country needs a good shake and a good look at its self.I know i havent the right to critise another country but come on,even with recent events i dont think most american people have got a clue with whats happening.

I think the media here make it hard to stay informed even if you make the effort to. That's part of why I spend time on international sites, so I get some different viewpoints.

heres another one, american soldiers returning from iraq have been banned from donating blood for a year to prevent them passing on a deadly parasite called leishmaniasis,some soldiers have contracted this, a parasite which damages the skin and internal organs. i wonder how many, bet we never know . what about british forces ,nothing said about them.this hasnt been in americas press i bet.

I can't say for sure it hasn't been covered, but I usually watch at least one newscast a day, and I haven't seen it. Wouldn't be surprised if it hasn't been hushed up.

heres the best so far another article in the press,did you know that bush is coming to the uk on nov 19, a squadron of tornado jets will be flying over london 24/7.thousands of police ,sas ,have been assigned to the task.uk police are expecting 20000 anti war demos,on arrival he will be taken to hyde park by a fleet of military helicopters then a 60 sixty car cavalcade to take him to buckingham palace.all this as part of operation saxon. police fear terrorist attacks, i wonder why, to much info given prehaps.

That's an unbelievable amount of firepower for one man!

you would only get that response at a wales v england soccer match b4 now.Cant that guy ever make a quiet unannounced entrance?

H*ll no, quiet entrances don't make headlines!

hes prob here to restart a flagging career just like brittany,though theres plenty of us ready to restart her career

I thought Madonna was re-starting Britney!

I'm off for now, Neil. Have a good night!
