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

As the years pass inexorably by, I find that those small lapses of concentration become more frequent and more embarrassing. My latest on-going problem is with web-site suffixes. I'm always confusing .com with .co.uk and sites that should be .org turn out to be .net. The last straw was when I was telling everyone about my first try at my own site, I got MY suffix wrong. So my web-site is:- www.qsl.net/g4mix. What a plonker!!!!

Hello Mixer, Pardon my American Ignorance- But;What's a plonker?

Hi Simon, Are you sure you want to know this? Plonker is a generic term for the male organ. It was made popular in the 1970's in a sitcom called 'Only Fools and Horses' The leading character. a cockney street trader, constantly told his younger and less street-wise brother 'Don't be such a plonker Rodney'. It was so successful in the UK that it is still being repeated to a huge following and I'm surprised that the BBC haven't managed to sell it in the USA. Mike.
