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

Too late: I've had Benjy the binman Pell rifling through Bushy and Brad's domestic waste, and the incriminating evidence on world domination through humour is as we speak winging its way to the Daily Mail: they hate humour there you know, which makes what they write even scarier because they're being serious.

Yes, I know knocking the DM is a cliche, and an easy target, but until people stop taking it as gospel, it must be challenged in all circumstances.

You can never knock the DM enough! But try to do it in an especially condescending manner such that no credence can ever be attached to the steaming great pile of pulp!!

Pat and Bushy,

Am laughing at the Lord Timothy thread - so glad I got the "white cottage" in! Couldn't think of a reply using Mutley, so didn't.

I'm off to save the world.

See you in a couple of hours.

tee hee! Just added to your thread! Excellent posts you two... Let's see if I can draw out the dreaded johnson and mutley!

Not sure if I'm talking to you anymore Bushy, what with you and The "English Bull Terrier" being so chummy together in criticising the divine Fig Lover on the "The Station" board. Are you 2 friends again now then?!

Going to check the white cottage thread now.

Use 3: Bashing non-believers over the head.

I have not answered the EBT nor will I? Not exactly chums but always open to live and let live and I know you are too... Only joking re. The Fig Lover (I still love her!) but did you notice the "Fig Lover Look-alike" on The Project last when Ms. Producer went back to Radio 4?

Just spreading a bit of acerbic Marxism over the serious news board as well, even got a flippant comment from Dim Richens!! Amazing, the bloody little hypocrite... Has he ever considered a career in the church I wonder?

Use 4: Makes a practical and solid cushion between yourself and reality!

ALERT ALERT ALERT!!

I have pooter in my sights... Do I have permission to fire?

(You can have 'im if you want, go on I don't mind!)

Just got Muttley into the conversation (well, sort of).

Use 5: Avoids the need to read anything which might actually lead to (or even allow) independent thought, what with all the answers being between its covers.

My finger is hovering over this trigger! I can take him out ... I have a clean shot from here ...

If Pooter in sights, fire at will........... everyone.

Got 'im!!

Hoorah!

Well done! (Actually he's replied with a bit of humour!). Just had a quick look to catch up, haven't time to add anything on but will do so later.

Em Mental.

Good shot that man..BUshy, Pat, Sarnia - took me a while to cross reference the h2g2 posts with the 'and finally' Peter PooFter ones...but well worth it...LOL

Yes, he's been very gracious! Bravo peter pooter is what I say... Much more humour than ian johnston?!?

Have to concede that, surprisingly, he has been gracious. Will Ian?

Humourless: you want humourless?

Anyone here like cricket?

On the 'Five Live Sport' MB there's a thread called 'England v Australia - Lighten up'. It was started by a Host and is a spoof press release about how the rules are going to be changed to favour England in a school playground type of way. Bits of it are very funny. Our old friend Muttley has taken against it somewhat, but some character by the name of 'Richy the Y*d' has gona absolutely ballistic about how it's unpatriotic and will upset the England players.

Anyone up for a visit?

Yep, that'll be me then! On me way now...

Good work Bushy: think we might have to wait a while for a bite, but sense it might be worth it.

And while I'm in praise mode, I do like your style: once you're on to something there are no half measures are there?

Thank you very much Pat! It seems to me though that when trying to illicit some kind of reaction there is no sense in jotting down a few idle musings moreover both barrels right in the face gets the thread going much quicker!

Not sure if anyone really believes in too much these days either. Its all throw away culture, throw away food and throw away politics! Am I that old that I can see my world disintegrating around me already? Thought this did not happen until my frail dotage...

By the way, whilst in mutual praise mode myself, the best post I ever saw was by your friend Bradford Quigley. The one which demolished ian johston, twice in fact, a few weeks ago. I can tell you are a very educated, analytical and thoughtful person.

Have to be off now Pat! Enjoy your evening...

P.S. Couldn't resist a parting shot at Melvin (hiss!) but I bet it gets ding'd soon anyway!
