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

Funnily enough, the old 5Live F1 board *was* *indeed* where I 1st crossed swords with mr johnston. In typically well informed style, he referred to Michael Schumacher as "just an average driver".

Whoa...a hyperdyperlinkie thingy...

Hmm, I see he had his finger on the pulse then, too.

He seems to be a big Coulthard fan. Fair enough. Someone's got to be.

I was a big fan of Johnny Herbert, and met him a while back. He was very uncomplimentary about Nigel Mansell !

So now we know how to annoy him: diss Coulthard.

Since this is my Wednesday morning I'll make a contribution:
Famous Canadian for the day--Jacque Villeneuve.
good morning everybody.

Good morning BoP,

Paul here, in Essex, S.E. England. The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day. I share my home office with many cats, and my daft ginger tom is purring away next to me.

Not a J Villeneuve fan particularly, although I'll concede that he's a famous Canadian. But why not pick Gilles?

Presumably because so far we've limited ourselves to live Canadians?

Hi BoP: to give you a bit more background, V Max's cats are called Ian, Johnston, Pooter and Dickie.

Cats are wonderfull creatures.
Hmmm...I'll be honest I really don't know all that much on the matter. I was mainly just keeping up with the banter. First lame move for Bowl of Petunias...Sorry! The work I do might as well be done from homw because it includes me basically doing nothing. I could be doing a much more constructive nothin at home.

BoP: knowledge of the subject under discussion is absolutely NOT a pre-requisite for posting on this thread.

BoP,

Firstly, my cats are not called by any of those names! Pat's being an @rse!

Secondly, a knowledge of what you're talking about is probably a disadvantage here 90% of the time, as we tend to talk rubbish.

Pat,

Limit yourself to live Canadians if you must, but I'll include dead legends if it's OK? Or are you going to do an Ian on me, and call Gilles Villeneuve "an average driver"?

Quite a long way below average nowadays.

talking rubish is the only way to go.
glad to see that this conversation is heading in no direction at all.
As for cats names If I get one of my own I think I'll call it "El fambra"--the rug, in spanish

BoP,

My cats are:

Jakey-Jake,
Big Fat Bobcat,
Cleocatra,
and, last but by no means least,
Mister Paddy Paws.

Or Jake, Bobby, Cleo and Paddy, as the vet knows them! All rescue cats.

v max...my cats are called coulthard and mansell...and my dog is called pooter!

i am sorry tom hear you disagree with my analysis of mr schumacher...as a eurohappy i might expect you to be a big fan of the german!

LOL!

Any doctors in the house?

My family currently has one cat.
his name is Iago and happens to look like he's wearing chaps because he pulls out his own fur. either chaps or he just looks like a demented poodle. I managed to go and visit London last summer ...for 9 hours on a stop over last summer on my way to Ukraine. the only bit of London that I really got to see was a walk from Victoria station down to the Thames. And when my brother and I later saw James bond and we realized that we were there we were very excited. It's really just sad, the excitement is due to the fact that there is never ANYTHING filmed in Ottawa. *shiff*Sniff**tear*
