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

I am tentatively popping my head back through the h2g2 door.

So who is going to put the kettle on?

Right, the kettle's on.

*rummages in cupboard in the hope of finding biscuits*

Ginger biscuits and custard creams here. Great to see you back!!

D'you fancy a chocolate croissant?Oooh, and they've got some of those nicetarts in.....mmmmm

Come and meet my puppy!!!!

"Come and meet my puppy!!!!"



Do you remember that cartoon advert with Charlie the ginger cat? A public services announcement?

The kid meets a bloke in a park and he says 'Come and see my puppies'

The boy wants to go but Charlie says 'mwahmwahgrrmwagrrwahgrrmwa' and eats his fish.
The kid then translates and says "Charlies says 'never go with strangers"

Never seen it, never want to. Luckily here i seem to live in a place where "Come & meet my puppy" means just that & you could say it to a kid & everybody would just smile.

What a rotten world where such a phrase can be used as an excuse to do evil stuff to kids!

I see that poor wee lad Rory came to an evil end. i just don't understand such stuff.RIP Rory.

I had a chap offer to show me his 1950s fashion-magazine illustrations once. Not what I expected; I was just waiting for a tram...

The "Charlie says" adverts were shown in the 1970's.

It just made me smile when you said about the puppy as it reminded me of the ads and the fun we used to have as kids trying to do impressions of Charlie.

Poor Rory and his family. It was on local TV for 2 days and then it made the national news. By that time I think everyone knew it was bad news.

What kind of world is it that we live in?

Anyway - before I get depressed - I want to see pics of Skanky!

My conjtribution to the biscuit stash is:

Choc chip cookies
Mint Kitkats
Orange Kitkats
Normal Kitkats


I didn't buy them all at once - just have the kitkats when hormones strike me down and the cookies were a buy one get one free - but I ate the double choc chip cookies 2 months ago

Long time no !

Decided to come back to the Guide... remember me?

and

A bit late forthe kettle, but glad to see you around - especially with that entry to edit.

,,,,just boilin a now lass

Wow - good to se you back Yankee Shoes - it has been over a year hasn't it?!

I have decided that trying to watch a DVD and hootooing is just not a thing to be attempted. I am currently watching 'National Treasure'(Nic Cage - ) and I am just about to replay the same bit for the 6th time as I keep getting distracted when I post

Mina - when I was allocated that entry I was so surprised to see it was written by you!

i got chocolate digestives

Ivan - well I suppose it is the modern day equivalent of 'would you like to see my etchings?!'

I love choc digestives - especially plain but I am not want to quibble over milk and plain chocolate - is

i only ever made one etching,,,,

It wasn't written by me, or is that what you meant?

That entry came about after a conversation between myself and Emmily, but I didn't contribute.

I am astonished by the variety of Kitkats that seem to be on offer these days; obviously food technology in UK has passed me by...

"In MY day, the only Kitkat was a 'normal' Kitkat; dear me; orangey minty ones? What will they think of next? Tsk Tsk"

zdt*aka* disgusted of Surbiton* But what the hell, i will try them anyway; have a break, have a Kitkat.
