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

No - nor EMI
but never mind.
I will become a legend at something else.

Don't follow it myself, but because the schedules go out the window in deference to the Great God Sport, I thought you might like to know NZ are stuffing England at Old Trafford. I really don't know why we bother. I also fail to understand how International Competion is so popular over here, seeing as how we get our arses kicked every time. Hmm, must be about time for another re-run of the 1966 World Cup final, the last time we won anything.

Didn't know if it was broadcast in NZ, Looney.

The odds are that it is being screened on every channel..24 hours a day......I imagine that they are all dead chuffed over there LOL ;

Black and white - with sub-titles in Maori

LOL.....it's a shame that they won't be playing on Wednesday...England might have stood half a chance playing in the dark!!

Playing in the dark? I don't want to go down this path, unless...

If You could fly over to be in England by 11am on the 11th you would get to see a total eclipse of the sun......but I bet it will be overcast....or raining...or too dark to see anything LOL....hence any English sportsman would have a good chance of succeeding......seeing as they are used to being in the dark LOL

I suppose swimming is out of the question. Last years bathers (togs) (swimming suits) (grundies) are so out of date. The sort of things Michael Atherton might wear without blushing, But then again perhaps....

Who'll see you blush in a total eclipse?

Actually, at Old Trafford it wont be total. Gotta be in Cornwall or Devon. Next door set off at 6.30 this morning, and were back 2 hours later. Dunno why.

ummmmmm....saw the 50 mile traffic jam? Heard the weather forecast?Forgot their special *view the eclipse safely* glasses given free with their copy of the *Sporting Life* (destroyed eyesight guaranteed)??

The tomato might have told the green pea over the fence about your devious back-yard booby-trapping plan

Shazz - stop jumping the queue

LOL....you would NEVER catch Michael Atherton wearing anything but the cleanest/best for playing cricket! Just a shame he's hit a low spot.....but he's not playing anyway!!Just swim over in what you have to hand..I'm sure that it is very fetching (or going LOL )

weathers good, traffics fine, got my eclipse sunglasses from tesco
all hunky dory in cornwall

Hey PP! That's not fair It isn't my fault if h2g2 stick the replies in the wrong place!I will go jump my gun somewhere else then LOL

If you think that sheep stealing is a problem on the other side of this planet, consider what they do to them in Tewkesbury!

Next door left at 6.30, were back at 8.30, gone again at 9.30. He's an astronomer, so had better than shit mylar visors. It's pisssing down, so I expect it will get slightly darker for a bit, and th, th, that's all, folks!

Thinking of my mate down in Cornwall having spent a months salary booking a cottage for the eclipse. You could have listened to some of my translated Vogon poetry instead for a fraction of the price, and I would have even stuck a fish in your ear for no extra charge!

Cardboard Murderer.

My machine liked what it saw, then it threw a wobbly, and keeps asking for passwords again!

These dudes must be from area 51 or whatever.

Seriosly worried.

Ah, the story of VODKA.
Vodka, many years ago, a member of the Polish Royal Family spent the night at a Polish Monastery. After being well fed and bathed etc!
He was given a tour of the monastery, when he came upon the dining hall he noticed the monks drinking a clear liquid out of small glasses. "And what are they drinking?" he enquired. "Oh just a little Vodka" was the reply. Literaly translated it means a "Little Water". Yes, VODKA, and it came from Poland and NOT Russia!

Eselweiss.
