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

Ok I'll suffer, you stay warm!

Karen, I've already put my photos on a disk that works fine, it's just a few movie clips I got a problem with I have done it but it'll only play on pc not dvd player.

aaah, Miz - I got the wrong end of the stick as usual

I know nothing at all about movie clips I'm afraid

I'm no help either, I've not put photos in at anytime, so I've no idea

It's just cold and dry here at the moment which isn't too bad, when the rain starts thats the nasty weather mainly when youre in and out with the dog.

Just thought I'd ask around about the movie clips thanx all

You could always try starting a thread on *Ask h2g2* Miz ... some bright spark is bound to know the answer

So, who's got all the Christmas shopping out of the way???

Thanx Karen, there's loads of pages on Google just thought I'd be cheeky and try to get more help.

... please don't mention Christmas - I haven't even started my shopping yet

I bet yours is all bought and wrapped already isn't it

me, all xmas shopping done last week, now to see to me

Nope, I have my cards written though lol. We only buy for 5 kids now as it gets silly and I buy for my mum & dad as I have no brothers Sisters and Rob has a few.

"out of the way"...dream on Miz luv, not I!

That didn't really make sence did it??? we buy for 5 of rob's nephews & nieces, and I buy for my mum and dad, there does that simplify things???

I got my mum and dad a freeview box so theyre not paying for tv every month then I'm going to buy 'em a little something each, don't know what yet.

it looks like I've got competition, I'll have to be more of an idiot

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer
Do not use while sleeping.
(That's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos
You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's just a suggestion.)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom)
"Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding
"Product will be hot after heating."
(and you thought?)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron
"Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could
just get those 5 year-olds with head-colds off those bulldozers.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(I'm taking this because?)

On most brands of Christmas lights
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to what?)

On a Japanese food processor
"Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts
"Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: say what?)

On a child's Superman costume
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

Sounds great Miz!

Glad I'm not the only one Darrell ... maybe we could postpone Christmas until sometime in March - wadya think?

Anyway I'm off to bed now chaps so I'll say ttfn, good to have caught up with you all tonight

Animal hun backtrack to the Superman outfit, Robs best friend tried flying out of his bedroom window when he was 10 he escaped with a few broken bones, it was when Superman was popular when we were kids.

G'night Karen, sleep well catch ya another night.
