No kidding - MM - you might actually want to add an apology there! How un-/non-British of you - what would the queen say?

Have you read (seen) Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? His world has been blown up, his best friend is an alien, he's stuck in his pajamas, and what is Arthur Dent searching for the WHOLE time???

I meant just the "Duck and Funnel" part, but yeah, MM, you could get your MBE taken away for talk like that.

I'm secure enough in my nationality to stand by my statement. And I believe the Queen would stand proudly right here next to me.
Another example: I was in England during the 1990 World cup. One night, close to the end, we watched a game where England had to beat Germany in order to get into the quarter-finals. It goes practically without saying that England lost. Anyways, it was reported in the next morning's Daily Mail (newspaper) that immediately following the game there was an enormous, unprecedented, nationwide outsurge of energy as millions of Brits plugged in their kettles (just about all kettles in England are electric) to make tea.

Ha - yeah, I almost asked if that's what you meant. I wouldn't be surprised if there really was a Duck & Funnel though...

No, he had the towel. Ford kept telling him, "Don't forget your towel" I though he was looking for a way to get into Trillian's pants. I'm just a romantic, though.

Yeah, but he wasn't looking for his towel. He knew where his towel was. The world got blown up - specifically India. He was looking for a cup of tea. Maybe Douglas Adams had just read too much Wodehouse...

There would have to be, or he just heard it somewhere ... He's not quite clever enough to come up with something that good on his own.

No, it needed saying, because we wouldn't have possibly known. Continue ... quote:

Right. And then they settle down at the end of the day with a finger of Bishop's Tipple and a small bowl of Trifle.

Oh don't get all patriotic on me - I'm half Canadian and we share the same queen. What tea to you prefer? I myself drink Jasmine or Peppermint.
