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

i'm sure i've heard some of it, i've seen it in fopp for a fiver, i must buy it.

i love mellow music, and i'm slowly becoming secretly proud of my music collection; although its too popularist for my friends in the biz, if you know what i mean. but i like it. i like the fact that there's a lot of folky music, albeit modern folk, its mellow ... just like me. i'm proud of the fact that i'm a round person, in psychological terms (more daft staff development days) we were asked what kind of shape we're you attracted to (circle, triangle, square, rectangle, siggly line) i was a circle - a people person - a lover

we've been talking music all this time, there must be other aspects to your live - tell me something about you i won't know

The big tunes on Blue Lines were Unfinished Sympathy (didn't it get voted to near the top if not number 1 of the last best song ever poll on radio 1 or something like) and Safe From Harm. My fave tune on their is Hymn To The Big Wheel.

Don't just be secretly proud of your music collection. If you like it it's a good enough reason to have it I think - there is much in my music collection that people could sneer at if they want to. Let them, I'll carry on enjoying listening to it

Tell you one thing you won't know about me...
I'll have to think about that.

I have an amateur radio license.

now that's pretty you've completely flumoxed (good word) my nickname at school was gonzo. kids can be soooo cruel !

oh that was pretty lame - sorry

Bit like mine, haven't done anything with it really.

nah, why did you get it?

here's one - my great uncle played for celtic during the '60's.

i'm afraid i haven't done anything good or great with my life yet ... god i feel so useless

I'm told an uncle of mine was in a band in the 60s (travelled to Hamburg and all that) I can't find any info on the web to confirm or deny this.

not the beatles?

No not the beatles. A band called The Manchester Playboys from a similar time - all I can find about them was they had a single out in 1966.

nice little project, there's got to be something, somewhere about them.

i've just remembered something interesting about myself (maybe not as interesting as your radio license) but i have no canine teeth!

Which ones are the canine teeth?

I'll have to see what I can dig up about them at some point.

canines are the ones next to your two front teeth (front teeth, canines, incisors, pre-molars, molars, wisdom teeth) - how do i know this?

So that's where they are (or not in some cases )

i was devastated when i found out when i was 16, the nasty, horrible dentist took all my baby teeth out (12 of them) cos there wasn't enough room - only then to discover i was missing my canines, effectively ended my modelling career

I probably need my at least one wisdom tooth out as it's caused problems to one of the other teeth.

Never tried for a modelling carrer

is it not supposed to be pretty painful, getting your wisdom teeth out - oh don't even you that.

good looking fella like yourself? - modelling'd a synch with my missing teeth i'm kinda going for the william bramble look

Thanks for the compliment
At least it's not the Shane McGowan look you're going for

mmm shane mcgowan or wilfred (oops) bramble? mmmmm there's a choice for the lads!

hello,

how's it going? did you have a good weekend? mine was okay, didn't do anything particularly special.

its been a mad couple of days here - my postgrads matriculated on thursday and i was moving desks on friday - mayhem!

oh went to see moulin rogue - don't! i thought it was crap

so what's the craick round your neck of the woods?
