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

You played rugby? I never played with a helena..in fact I dont know
many women with cauliflower ears and flat noses.

and I dont think theres such a thing as a private conversation round here!

nah, nothing's private round here!

Hola! all, just a wandering Zedley...

actually it's odd, women who play rugby don't seem to get disfigured like the men. or maybe they hide it better.

hmm, I think its more likely that they dont head butt, bite, gauge, stamp etc
as much as the men

Do'ya wannna bet, and nobody in their right mind could call me attractive... Luckily theres lots of nutters out there.
zz9ers , vote for me!

a gauging, stamping scotswoman...must go down well in the nightclubs.
wheres the ballot slip?

Look I made James Bacon (of Sproutlore fame) Run away screaming when he finally worked out who I was, much to the bemusement of my Boyfriend (vote for him too) who hasn't known me quite that long! It was James's own fault he said I know you and kept trying to puzzle it out. And then took a quick exit stage right when I told him. Even though it was about 3 years ago. Ho hum

I know its a small world but
unless you're famous, I wont know you...will I?

or did I miss something, somewhere?

I'm probably more notorius. Helena is my real name, surname McCallum, and if you are a Member of zz9 we could have run into each other, or will. And I will be famous one day. I need the money. Maybe I should go after Bill Clinton or something. Sell my story for a nice packet and retire. Tee Hee

right, zz9 the fan club.
Forget Bill clinton, do tony blair.
Or I know a journo who could supply you with a list of
'susceptable' famous men (or women, if you need the money
that bad)?

good grief, you turn your back for a day and you're totally lost

i was looking back over the rest of this thread in a bid to catch up and i noticed some not too prescient words from both sides, Mr Lurker, in regard to the french rugby team - aren't you glad i let you support them now

i think i'll back the aussies unless michael briel's in the team, but i just can't really care anymore - how dare the one game i can watch for the whole cup not have the all blacks in it?!

seeya

Ha, then I'll support the french again (I actually won money on them..sorry)

that's ok - glad to hear someone got something out of it you must have made a bit, if the odds in nz were anything to go by. the tab here were pretty happy - they were faced with a record loss if the all blacks won (have i said that already, sorry if i have, memory like a sieve i tell you)

span

it was a spread bet, the break even point was NZ winning by 25
points so, as they lost by 12 points, I made 37 X my unit stake
(which will remain secret

good to hear you got something out of it anyway.

i was going to put five bucks on the all blacks before they played the french earlier in the year, because the odds were really good (this was to win the world cup) but i didn't and since then the odds have been terrible - just as well as it turned out though

span

dont let me give you the impression that I'm good at gambling
(or gamboling), I have lost much more than I have won over the
years...thats why I shout about my rare wins.
Rubbish game yesterday, the ref (and the pitch) didn't help.
Didn't like the aussies lining up in tracksuits though, made them
look like a load of wusses (which they are obviously not)

i have learnt (the hard way) not to judge the aussies on what they wear - they consistently have the most hideous uniforms in the world, in every sport, but it doesn't seem to bear on their performance, which is totally unfair, but maybe someone up there just thinks it is really funny to continually see these ugly creations on the winners podium and all through the media i dread to see what they manage to throw up for the olympics

span

Could be very interesting, anyway. Would a puky green colour be involved anywhere do you think??
Hxx

they should be made to wear something suitable restrictive
like a business suit or something, anything to make it
a bit fairer
