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

There's no 24 on tonight because of the crappy Golf Masters I wouldn't mind so much if it was anything else, but golf has got to be one of the worst sports to watch live...

So I'm quite annoyed

Oh, thank goodness for that, I thought I was the only one who hated golf. "Oh, I know, I'll try and hit this tiny ball into a tiny hole half a mile away!"

I can just about understand someone playing golf...but watching it is something I'll never understand. And certainly NOT worth delaying 24 for

Golf is a good walk, spoiled.

Well I personally would rather go for a walk than play golf...in fact I think I would rather do lots of things than play golf...

My dad plays golf, and watches it at any given opportunity, so naturally I've grown up hating it.

My ex used to play golf and make me watch it...so naturally I hate it

Actually I hated it before I met him

And you still went out with him?

I know...love is blind.

Yes, but that's masochistic.

Oh yeah, that's what I meant...love is blind and masochistic

Ah yes... it's a well-known saying.

A metaller into golf? Having a laugh aint you? Sad boy. Rugby's the sport for metallers, if they're into one at all. Mosh pits are good practise for the violence of the rugbyfield.


Or is it the other way around?

Alice Cooper plays golf... Not quite sure what that proves.

Alice Cooper's a big willy woofter!!!

Ahhh, but he was also a nice middle class boy with rich parents type of metaller *prepares for Bob to go into orbit* I could never get him to watch rugby with me...which was most upsetting and the cause of many an argument along the lines of...ME "Come to the pub and watch the 6 Nations with me." HIM "No." ME "But I watch all your crappy golf." HIM "Well that's your decision, you don't have to watch, just cos I'm hogging the TV, you could always do something else, like my washing, and by the way get me another beer* (well I made the last bit up but you get the gist anyway) The argument would then run in for a while culminating in me storming out the house to go to the pub to meet some other friends, all of whom I was sadly unattracted to

Tell you what Napnod, sent him my way and we'll teach him some metal down here in Bristol...

*ponders as to whether "teaching someone some metal" might be a euphemism for something more violent *

To be fair to him, he wasn't a weekend metaller, he just happened to live in a posh area with lots of money, which wasn't really his fault.
