*Slurps it down fast *

*Hiccups madly*
*Slumps in corner*

Oh dear Gods.. I feel Vogon poetry comin' on .Shoot me *now*.......

[Major Clanger]

Vogon poetry?

shooting would be too good for you... it's the airlock I'm afraid.

Hope you have your towel, your Guide and your electronic thumb

*opens airlock*

oh wait!!! wrong thread!

[Bagpuss]

*Sobers up immediately*

I think we could just airlock the Vogon poetry ?

*Blinks addle-patedly*

Quick ! To the Airlock thread !


ETA : Vogon Poetry is now airlocked.No more nightmares....Yippee !

[Major Clanger]

Surely not?

*falls over*

except, apparently, it should be 11th May...
gah I wish they'd make up their minds

(and I'm the sort of hoopy frood who ALWAYS knows where my towel is )

Hell no. Always has been, and always will be, 25th May. Just google "towel day". He did die on 11th May, but for various reasons they decided for the Towel Day to be 14 days later.

Cool !

[Major Clanger]

I'm going to re-check it at h2g2 - but still. We have time to agree.


it's good to know there are hoopy froods everywhere though!

(is this a good place to ask what people though of the film?)

[Bagpuss]

Of course you /we can talk about the film as well as towel readiness.

I thought the film was a bit weird and not what I expected in places but still worth a look if only for Alan Rickman.

Trouble is though I'm more into the books,the old tv series and and the radio shows,so I suppose I ran into old canon V new canon?

Edit : Found the main thread about the Movie/HHGTTG here,but I never got round to reading the last 8 or 9 pages.

*Hangs head in shame*
*Drapes towel round neck and flumps off to read some of the old posts*

[Major Clanger]

OK I'll be a good girly and go and disss... er discuss it there

[Bagpuss]

*Wanders back in with a trayful of drinks-with-umbrellas-inna-glass*

Oh phooey.

She's gone !

Gets comfy and waits for MC to discover just how long it was since the last post over there....

[Major Clanger]

turned out to be 5 years!
haha
*raises a PanGalactic Gargle Blaster to DNA and downs it in one*

Cheers!

*coughs violently*

[Bagpuss]

*Pats Clanger on back till the wheezing and spluttering stops*
Ok..now that I'm ok......

I was surprised it'd been that long since the last posts there too.It just doesn't feel like it's 5 years does it ?

*Mopes slightly*

[Major Clanger]

When you get to our great age, it all passes in the blink of an eye
