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

Well Wilma, would you like to know your choice of guide entries for this evening.

Ony if you do some of those on my ToDo list




Aaaah gwaaan then

I didn't know you had a ToDo list ..... I Don'tDo lists.


Would you prefer ..... Typhoid Mary or British Tea.


Either Moonhogg or myself will do the other.

Isn't there an entry about British Tea somehwere? I seem to recall having read something, but I may err.

Ahh, if there is it isn't about the tea houses and nippy's.

Well, you'll have checked, I'm sure.

So any takers then.

Nippies? or nippers? or nipp... No, that'd be an entry for Roy

Tell me more...

I'm off to now, goodnight.

Tell you more about what Wilma .... what one do you fancy.

The nippy one - British tea, I guess

'night B'Elana

Well, the tea arrived in the 1600s and tea was very good for us Brits in those days, because boiling the water killed the off the plague bacteria thingamies ...... then obviously much later came tea houses .... Lyons were the biggest I think and they employed Nippys who served the tea ..... thousands of Nippys were used at great tea parties ...... public information films were made to show us commoners how to make a good cup of tea .... London cabbie tea houses are now listed buildings .... don't know how many there are left, but listed every one.


That is the extent of my research so far, and I hope you'll be able to run with it.

I might go for Typhoid Mary then

You want to do Alternatives to Sugar?

Mary Mallon Oirish gal who killed about a dozen .... accidently .... by being a cook and transferring Typhoid to her employers .... held on an Island by the Americans ..... without trial twice .... the last time to her death I think. Sharp as a tack was Mary, but unable to grasp she could be a carrier without being a tyhoid sufferer.


with that then ..... trying to entice Moonhogg to do the other one.





Alternatives to sugar ....... did I tell you I'm stuck on a Uni project.

Tea?

TEA????



You misunderstand something fundamental about Captain Coffee Break!!!

Broaden your horizons man ..... you need to find gainful employment on this site or you'll be lost to the guide forever.

Too late....



Too late...



too late...

.

Ah, Hoggy? Have Mary, I'll take the tea

I can put sugar in it then



Don't believe I said that. Must be time for bed ...

ooops

Yep...

Not lost IN the guide you fool - lost TO the guide.

Yeah Lil has taken the Tea.


I can sleep well tonight then.
