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

Black and tan, actually Oh dear, that's rather a naughty group of chaps from Irish history (Circa 1918) How thoughtless of me

I think I'll be in Denmark by my next birthday; mine's only two weeks ago!

Do give my best wishes to the Orange Order while you're there

Norti,

Why on earth do you insist on throwing up every single dividing isuue and innuendo you can think of? Whether it's Germany, Ireland, or even here, you seem to love nothing more than to point out cultural, historical or social divisions.

We do all know they are there, but I dont get what you seem to find so amusing about it. Especially as most of them would benefit from being left alone by those neither want to take it seriously nor are directly affected.



Am I just being really touchy?

It annoys me too, but I prefer to just ignore him. I assume he's fishing for a reaction.

Not at all touchy, I always respect your opinions. Sometimes my mind gets locked in strange places Playing devils advocate can be tedious after a while, even if it is intended to highlight the ludricousness of those social divisions

I'll see your bogbrush and raise you a

what confused me was norti answering "Do give my best wishes to the Orange Order while you're there"

when Mala wrote "I think I'll be in Denmark by my next birthday"

You may find a few orders here in Denmark, but I don't think you will find an orange one

As usual for me, published in haste and regreted at leisure. I don't have the luxury (damn can't spell that word of being able to maintain my log in continuously and think, coupled with a asperger like inability to consider the sensitivities of others without alerting our resident IT to my distractions from the stresses of work
Quite rightly chastised, again! Intellectually

Thinking of a witty response for the origin of William of Orange from Denmark would perhaps to have been "I'll take them a lime"

Anyway, perhaps it's better we move along the and continue the really interesting stuff like Bristol mini meet anecdotes and bacon sarnies

I'll have a bacon sarnie please! I'm bleedin STARVIN!

No no no! I have to wait until tomorrow until I can have one!

Mmm, bacon and mushroom...

And black pudding and fruity sauce and a runny yolk fried egg...

I know what I'm munching when I go to watch the footie!

I had a fat boy fry up in the tea boat last weekend, I bought some black pudding as well, yummy I could only get the prepacked sliced stuff in the supermarket. How come they don't sell it intact on the deli anymore

Depends which shop you go to

Then it seems I simply must attend the next Bristol Mini Meet to purchase my black pudding as I would like it
Will I also need a flak jacket, I wonder, after the stinkers I dropped on this thread

I've just had roasted vegetables for my lunch Hope that counts as the healthy eating option as recommended. Hoping before the end of the afternoon I'll have developed gas pockets the size of the North Sea fields to entertain my colleagues with I'm easily amused, being a bloke.
Also hoping this healthy eating will permit substansive tucking and on the next Bristol Mini meet, if I'm allowed to attend

<>

so you told off a few 'guests'

what did you eat???

reminds me of Spiiting image when they had Margret Thatcher at a restaurant with the rest of the cabinate. Havingh ordered the main course,

Waiter: "And what about the vegetables, madam?"

MT "They'll have the same as me".

I can just imagine it being exactly like that in Maggies cabinate

Nope, that's it, you're BANNEd from Bristol BANNED I tell you!
