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

Lurkers sure do count... but I've got some sheep to count now so I'm leaving the bar to go to the baa. See you!

>>Isn't there a Polish film director called Wnikeye?<<

She might be the sister of Dr Wnikeye the Polish Specialist who was nominated for a Nobel for his work on Ocular Spasms.

And don't forget their cousin the West African one-eyed poet whose work on the cultural significance of the inner dark is sublime.

It's also the common name for the one eyed dinosaur djathinkesaurus.

Actually, when I saw 'Wnikeye' the first thing I thought of was a sort of NYPD cop drama with a gruff Polish detective who doesn't always play by the rules but gets the job done, although very much at the expense of his marriage etc. etc.

"Hey! Get yoor ass in here, Wnikeye!"

"Sheesh, chief - ya wanna stop bustin ma hump already?"

I think the Polish director you're referring to is Jan Wnikeje, famous for his trilogy of films 'Nudge Nudge' 'Yaknow What I Mean' and 'Sorry, I've got Something Something in My Eye That's All, I Didn't Mean Anything Honest'.


PS - By the way, that kind of spelling mistakes is why I use all the shortcuts I can. Pretty tricky to remember how exactly you're supposed to write ---I mean ----I mean ---you know what I mean. Harder to mess up something like ; ) or : - P.

(I've only discovered that shortcut recently...)

Are you in Brunel, or are you using the keyboard shortcuts?

Keyboard shortcuts. I don't really like brunel, too dark and squarish for me. I use alabaster - I know a lot of people don't like it, but I think it's nice, simple and friendly-looking and light.

Alabaster rules

I've never learnt the keyboard shortcuts...I guess I could tape my smiley list to the wall and start...

I know all the drink shortcuts becuase I work at the HHH bar... makes my life easier, as I don't have to check if I misspelled 'stiffdrink'.

You know, I don't know if I've ever used the stiffdrink smiley

off to the Never thread...

What can I get you then? c |_|, g |_|, \ R /, or maybe even > - |? Or perhaps just | % | or c \ _ /? (try them without the spaces)

I have to say I have never heard of the Never thread... *would run there if she knew where it was*

Strange that and don't have shortcuts


I never made it back to the Never thread. It's in Ask the last day or two.

I'd go look for it, but I can't bother. Never mind.

I know, I was going to post a link but I can't be bothered looking for it either

Remind me tomorrow when I've had some

It's a thread about things you've never done that everyone else has.

Yeah, I know the game.

Must be nice to have long weekends... Sundays are a weekday here. No for me.
