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

I have a friend. Well, actually I have a few friends ( I hope ), but this story is about her. She's lovely, you'd like her. She looks like a cross between Natalie Imbruglia and a dark haired Cameron Diaz. She's funny, sexy, confident, affectionate, and getting married. I'm just trying to paint in your mind an image of the sort of likeable person she is. She'd never get voted out of the Big Brother house, that sort of thing.
Anyway. A couple of months ago, I got her the first Harry Potter book. She'd been saying that she'd always meant to get started on them, and I was feeling in an affectionate mood, so I got her one. As is often the case with Harry Potter, she in turn introduced the books to someone else - namely, her father. While they were on holiday together, lying back in the sun, she read him Harry Potter And The Philospher's Stone. And I'd just like to say that that's about the best thing I've ever heard. If I ever get to a point where my beautiful, grown - up, soon to be married daughter reads me a children's book, then I'll know I've done pretty much everything right. Everything else is just details.

What a wonderful story. I agree with your conclusion whole-heartedly!

Your friend sounds wonderful -- but so do YOU!!! How about an occaisional chat with a short, round, friendly faced, intelligent, sensitive woman who has an enormous video collection and is dying for a US distributor to release "Fever Pitch" in NTSC format?

Just checking. Forgive any blunders or bluntness -- I am only hours old in this community and don't know all the protocol yet...

Well, hi. First off, I have no idea about "Fever Pitch" being released in NTSCC format, but I would have thought that - since a lot of Brit videos can play NTSCC ( or whatever ) it would've worked the other way around. If you have such a video, then just get someone here to send you a copy .. you can get them in the U.K for about the equal of $4 .. Apolgy 1: if I've misunderstood a basic point in the whole "Fever Pitch" debacle .. Apolgy 2: that this message is so very short ( I'm in something of a rush. ) Please feel free to mail on [email protected] ... Take care..

And, actually, a third apolgoy ( firstly for mis-spelling apolgoy all the time but also for ) giving you the wrong e-mail address. It may well work, but it won't be to me .. Try [email protected] ( sorry .. )
