Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

And will be uninhabitable billions of years before that.

 

I think I was probably conflating the two.

In H2G2 Adams uses the idea to explain how everyone can afford to eat at Milliway's - the restaurant at the end of the Universe:

At the Restaurant you can meet and dine with a fascinating cross-section of the entire population of space and time. Guests can arrive for any sitting they like without prior reservation because they can book retrospectively, as it were, when they return to their own time. All you have to do is deposit one penny in a savings account in your own era, and when you arrive at the End of Time the operation of compound interest means that the fabulous cost of your meal has been paid for.


Both outstanding books and TV series'. The original radio dramatisation of H2G2 is brilliant as well.



The film was ****, mind.

 

Love this.

 

For the home mechanics and DIYers

 

Look at the size of this bugger.

 

Might as well add "Rock & Roll" and "Sex for the over forties" to your Draconian list and have done with it Peter !

 

I'm thinking that drugs and smoking are bad and have no upsides
I dont bet or drink alcohol but I can see many people enjoy those activities without any ill effects
I dont see many downsides for music (maybe crazy people who play loud music in their homes or cars) or sex (maybe STDs and unwanted babies)

 

The ex-missus always seemed to contract a headache whenever the last two topics came up in our house.

 

Your right of course Ernie I'd forgot that little titbit from the Restaurant at the end of the Universe. I completely agree about the book and the radio series being excellent and the film version being terrible. The Dirk Gently book were good too from what I remember.

 

my wife doesnt like the music I play so I play it when I take the dog for a walk or she's out

 

Well, that's me in Hospital...

This has not been a good morning. After spending the last few weeks self quarantined inside the house, I decided to go horseback riding, (as we're not allowed on our bikes), something I haven't done in many years. It turned out to be a horrible big mistake!

I got on the horse and started out slowly, but then we went a little faster. Before I knew it, we were going as fast as the horse could go. I couldn't take the pace and fell off, catching my foot in the saddle stirrup, the horse was then dragging me, refusing to stop.






Thankfully the Manager at Tesco's came out and unplugged the machine. He actually had the nerve to take the rest of my coins off me so I wouldn't try to ride the Elephant...

 

One for you aging punks….the Harley Davidson dealership on the kings road is celebrating a 100 years of selling Harley’s with a free punk festival in a pub in Fulham.
One of my locals…. Give me a shout if it interests you & I can fix you up with a free bar pass

 

I know of Warrs and Harley Davidson but what have they and 100 years got to do with punk? Were they thinking of steam punk but some young marketing manager cocked up?

EDIT. I see the other bands are more biker related.

 

the owner is a massive punk fan….his party…his choice lol

 

Don't suppose it will be Fred, more than likely one of his grand kids.

 

When Jethro told it he used David Beckham as the horse rider.

It’s a very funny joke
