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

Ooh fed up of my inability to go to the gym after work. DETERMINED to start a punishing regime of body sculpture and lifestyle balancing to turn into a dashing, athletic Price Charming... Well, just to be a bit fitter would be nice.

BUT if we were meant to be Adonis-bodied models, God wouldn't have invented syrup flapjack and chicken and mayo sarnies! And a working chap needs his food, by Jove!

Almost at the end of "Elizabeth the Queen"... Has to be one of the most exciting, enthralling books I've ever read. Hated history at school... Never realised how exciting and passionate it could be. I'd always regarded human nature and thought as a bit primitive pre-1900... I've come to realise how much people living 450 years ago were exactly like us, driven by the same needs and desires, affected by the same ups and downs of life. I'm almost sad to end the book and leave Elizabethan England behind.

Hello.

Adonis = very attractive Greek deity

I know what an Adonis is.
