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

I've got site visits to make tomorrow and the next day.

So you can guarantee it'll rain.

Rain,wind, hail, sleet and snow

Looks like I will have to stock up on my coal then

Just had to spend half an hour sorting out a printer that wouldn't print.

As if it was my job to give a toss about such matters.

Afternoon people.

Afternoon Mac.

Nice nap?

Not bad Jack, I think I could do with another one just to make sure.

Heaven forbid you should do anything crazy like staying awake for more than an hour at a time.

I figure doing that will speed up the time between now and our match tomorrow.

Yeah, because it's always fun to face a team that was good enough to beat Bayern Munich in their last match.

I can't wait.

That's why Jack, get it over with.

Wouldn't it therefore be best to sleep through the match as well?

There's not a chance of me being able to do that. The Football Gods wouldn't allow it anyway.

Yeah.

The sods.

What did we ever do to upset them, Mac?

And what did people in Manchester and West London do to find favour with them?

Struck a deal with Satan I suspect.

After all he has to be one of the Football Gods, right?

I think in one of those cases, it's the fear of having Fergie as an enemy. And the other cases, will be money. Lots. Of. Money.

Money is the root of all everil, Mac.

Which means that Chelsea and Manchester City are the root of all evil, right?

Yes money is the root of all everil!!

Pah. Stoopid typo.

Agreed Jack. Definitely everil.

Mac, if the word everil exists it's undoubtedly a word used to describe the super-evil nature of certain cash rich clubs.

It could be a verb for example:

Ambramovich bought Chelsea and decided to everil them to the top of the league.

Or a noun.

Sheikh Mansour decided that Man City would become an everil which would be twice as bad as Chelsea.

Sometimes even typos make sense.

True Jack, you've made so much sense out of it I am beginning to wonder if it was even a typo in the first place.

Not sure how it happened Mac. It's not as if the e and the r are close to the v and the i on the keyboard.

There must have been an everil spirit at large.
