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

No wonder "Merry Christmas Everybody" comes out every year - his electric bills must be astronomical.

Roy Wood of Wizard and Marc Bolan - all addicted to curling their hair through sticking a wet hand in a light socket.

When I start whistling opera, I just have to finish the whole damn thing. Is that tea still warm?

What about Leo Sayer? That must have been more than 240V.

tee hee EV you don't half make me giggle.

Fresh pot any one?

Thank you very much, don't mind if I do. Still some cake left if anyone wants it.

One more slice and I will be eligible for Jerry Springer - I will decline thanks.

so what are you guys meant to be doing between 9 & 5?

Leo Sayer is very short. He was once cast as an Ewok but they couldn't get the head over his barnet. Cake would be lovely, thanks.

He is, in fact, a homunculus.

Yes!

Slice of cake for you, Zeb'. It's got cocaine in it. No, not cocaine, what do I mean? Oh...... chocolate.

Congratulations! You get an extra large slice of cake for that.

Of course, there is a Blackadder quote that uses the concept behind yesterday's word "napiform", if not the word itself... any takers?

That is one way of making it more interesting - perhaps we ought to try the cocaine idea?

Perhaps that's the secret ingredient.

You never said anything about a secret ingredient.......well it has to be something cos there is now a 12 foot chicken now sitting in my colleague's chair.

To answer your question, I'm supposed to be helping to make a well-known insurance firm's quotation system Y2000 compliant. But if it's that important to them, they shouldn't have spent a year discussing it and then given us six weeks to do the work, so I really don't see why I should bother.

Of course I didn't mention the secret ingredient - it's supposed to be a secret. Oh, and don't forget, everything is a hallucination, except the things that aren't, and everyone else can see the things that aren't, so let someone else take care of them.

there are many turnip quotes do you have one in particular in mind?

The one I was thinking of was "I found it particularly ironic, my lord, because I've got a thingy that's shaped like a turnip."

So what is reality again?

Mmmm - lovely cake. Very chocolatey, with a certain......something.

Now what were you saying?
