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

 Wales just creamed South Africa in Rugby, our first win against them EVER!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 29-19 WOOOHOOO, It was quite a ruff game as well....

....and New Zealand beat France 54-7. We play South Africa on July 10. New Zealand will be blacked-out. Everyone attending the game, watching it on TV, listening to it on the radio, reading or listening to it on the Internet at rugbyheaven.com is requested to wear black. And what about the new Wales coach, the incomparable Mr Henry of NZ

make that rugbyheaven.com.au

Wales new coach has made a hell of a difference. He's the best thing to happen to us since.. since..... well... I dunno, I havn't been around long enought to remember.

Wales was one of the top rugby nations in the world in the 60s and 70s. The great British Lions teams who won series in NZ in 1971 and South Africa in 1974 were full of great Welsh players. I think this team still has some distance to go to be a threat in the World Cup later this year. But what the heck - enjoy the moment.

Thank you, I will And I think the golden days of the seventies are returning. Just a hunch...

Let's just hope the terrible fashions and music from the 70s don't return.Though it must be admitted I did really fancy the blonde chick in ABBA

I don't suppose there's any chance of Hendrix returning is there??? Thought not....

On my home page I am taking bookings from people waiting to be abducted by aliens. If as I firmly believe, Jimi Henddrex was himself abducted, he may be aboard.

Do they have large, noisy amplifiers, and a guitar onboard. We wouldn't want him to get board now, would we.

Spends a lot of time hanging out with Elvis and Janis Joplin I believe.

I notice you have a fish under development on your page. I am giving away chocolate fish on my page (the thread, Who is this clown) and was wondering if the fish will come in different colours. Is their any way of changing the colour of the existing fish, say to brown.

The bluefish is something only Shim (h2g2 blokey) can use, as he wrote the code for it, and he doesn't want anyone else pinching it. The html code works to get it on user pages, but as for forums, there's no chance of it. As for more coloured fishes, I don't know, but i hope so....

Thanks MadMunk. No big games of Rugby this weekend. We lost the cricket to England but the beer remains cold. I would appreciate it if you keep me informed of any developments on the fish front.

As soon as I hear it, you'll be the first to know.
As for the cricket, pity, i like to see England lose, it gives me a great satisfaction. Not that i'm a big cricket fan. I like to see them lose anything....

Couple of new yarns on my page you might like to read. One rubbishs America which is always satisfying.

I'll go along with anything anti-american. As long as it's not against burgers/fast food joints. Because i can't live without them.

this is a bit off the current subject but i will say it anyway. my dad was a woodstock and heard both janis joplin and hendrix. oh by the way they were both americans so there. im sure you enjoy american bashing, but we do have some feelings

Big target, easy target. Don't take it personal. MadMunk I asked some of the younger people I work with about hoopy froods (probably got that wrong) . They had never heard of it. Is it new?

Sorry Kat, I didn't mean it offensively, but loonytunes is right, big target, lot's of people.... And if it weren't for Americans, i wouldn't have McDonalds, Hendrix, Matrix, Ibanez............... I can't really think of anything that is not american made that i couldn't live without........
As for Hoopy Froods...... Just a question loonytunes, Have you read the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy? If not, The Definition of hoopy given by Doug Adams is:really together guy, and frood:really amazingly together guy.
Does that sort things out for you?
