puddingcatThat makes me happy :)
What also makes me happy is seeing 4 episodes of TG thanks to the Parent People's Sky box this morning. Brother-in-law got it for them as part of a deal where they get 2 sets of programmes, and the box, free for a year. Things that stick in my mind (a remarkably unsticky place) are (a) blimey, Jermy was almost attractive in 2003; (b) when did they start pronouncing Porsche with 2 syllables?, and (c) what does Letchworth have to do with Lamborghini*?
No more TG until the spring :(
Mum says she'll be watching Doctor Who this year, becasue David Tennant reminds her of "the little lad from Top Gear".
I'm back in Stockport, still consider it to be the Armpit of England, but at least it has cats :) And thinking of cats, Pratchett did the whole "cats have oversteer" thing in The Unadulterated Cat, in which he called it "Impatient Legs".
I love my new holes :)

*Though, being London commuterville, there is the story of how the Travelling Wilburys were formed after the 5 of them met for a long boozy afternoon in the Wilbury pub on the Hitchin edge of Letchworth

Date: 2005-12-28 07:15 am (UTC)Hyenas have front wheen drive though. Which makes me think of the Toyota
HyenaHilux. But now Jezza n' Hammy are referencing Terry Pratchett - d'ya think they get nekkid and play World of Warcraft at weekends? ¬.¬no subject
Date: 2005-12-28 04:16 pm (UTC)Wonder whether they do the Standard Male Geek thing of playing a female character with the biggest breasts & smallest clothes possible?
(I do think James would make a good Soul Music Death.)

Not an actually nekkid 'NEKKID' kind of way. Though... *thinks* Jezza is verreh hairy, so philosophically he could never actually be nekkid even when he is. Vinyl flooring probably sticks to him at will and all the polyester fibres in towels circle the electro magnetic field he projects.
Hammond would probably get nekkid 'nekkid' 'cause he speaks Hammster and doesn't understand zen dual interpretations. He'd also eat all of the power cards which'd throw the game into a state of flux until James drafted in a set of Supercar Top Trumps which'd mean health potions being concocted from a DBR9...
I think you're right about the Standard Male Geek thing. Oh it'd be priceless to see Hammster jumping around and yelling 'I'm a 9ft Amazon with magnificently HUGE armoured boobies - I can't get shot with a poisoned arrow and DIE!' then eating the poison arrow card just to make his point.
I think James'd make a good MC. 'Cause then he'd have the hours of fun that IS going to his nearest White Dwarf outlet, buying all of the pieces and painting them up pretty.
...
O.o
My. God.
I'm starting to think it'd be safer locking those three in a room with a box of Risk. *blink*

Basically, most, if not all, English words are closed, i.e. the voice drops at the end while in various German words, the voice rises but there's no emphasis on the last syllable. In addition, the "e" sound isn't very typical for the English language, either, the closest I can think of would be the e in "rent".
