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

It's true Jack, yet the expectancy is to be more austere in order to pay off a deficit that can't be paid off? It's only because we're humans this has happened. You don't see dogs complaining of a financial meltdown.

Dogs have a great life, Mac.

First of all they've got human servants. After all, if someone serves you food every day that person is your servant, right?

And they have no financial or football worries. You never hear of a dog committing suicide or being treated for stress.

That whole dying at the age of 13 or 14 is a bit of a bummer but still, while they're around they've got no worries and servants to look after them.

Lucky sods.

They live a fuller and happier life in those 14 years than we do in 80.



We're cursed by supposedly being more intelligent. I think dogs have the right idea though, they don't even have to clean themselves. They just get their owner to do it.

They don't even have to chat up the opposite sex in order to shag them, Mac.

They just go over and get on with it.

Yeah no concern of whether somebody likes them, no stress there. And if they don't, they'll just find another dog to do it with.

They don't even have to waste time cuddling them and making small talk afterwards.

They just go home so their servant can serve up their grub.

And then after that, they can sleep. Wherever they want. For hours and hours.

At least you have that one thing in common with dogs, Mac.

Not the servants or the shagging or the worry-free existence. Just the sleeping.

The difference is Jack, when I am actually up, I need to do things, like get food. A dog just needs to get up to change its position.

They have it sussed, Mac.

We think we're superior to them because we go to work and worry about things and spend our time building vast cities in which to worry whereas they just doss around having a good time all day.

We've got it all arse about face. They probably thingk they're superior to us for the very same reasons.

And they're probably right. I bet they think during the day, if I act all excited when my servants come back, they'll think I have been suffering all day without them.

That's why I'm not getting a dog, Mac.

I don't want to be somebody's servant. Not an unpaid one anyway.

Anyway, I'm sticking to my promise of leaving at lunchtime. I'm off on Monday too.

Have a good weekend.

See you on Tuesday Jack. Hope the Euro 2012 draw doesn't provide too many tears.

Morning All,

you managed the whole dog conversation without mentioning the ability to lick their own balls??


What's going on?

Anyways had a very quiet weekend until my friends arrived yesterday and destroyed it all - with their drinking, and playing guitars, dancing and stuffing their faces

Good job there was only two of them or my head would really be thumping

We're not perverts PSD. Afternoon.

Yeah, PSD, we're not perverts.

Well, not always anyway.

Morning all.

Getting back to work on the Tuesday after a Monday off is a million times worse than going back in on Monday.

Aftenoon people.

Afternoon Mac.

Nice nap?

Nice to be able to put our feet up and relax knowing that Chelsea fans are bricking it.

True Jack, I'm not sure what to watch though - if I watch the Chelsea game the Football Gods will probably be confronted with Valencia getting hammered.

Even so, it's nice to have a dead rubber.

Yeah, I'm not really expecting a happy ending at the Bridge tonight but at least the knowledge that Chelski fans will be biting their nails at least until they go 2 up while we're lying back on mataphorical lilo smoking a metaphorical cigar is pleasant.
