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

* Strange thing this synchronicity threading through people's lives... I just got a phone call from a family friend - she's going to move back to Brussels for a while. She will be selling her flat there before returning to the Southern Hemisphere.

Hi Paul, could you bring me another one of those? Thanks.

And I must strongly object... for, even as we sit here, having this nice conversation, Zaventem has regained it's most abandoned forum status. Life is that way sometimes

Ah, but there is purpose in choosing a quiet bar

Please remember to log out Noticeboard after using it, so that others can access it, please!

Sorry, Titania - I thought I had done so! Oh gosh - what have I done wrong? (I'm clearly not that cluey) - please advise ...

It's just that when you log in Noticeboard, that is who you become, as a User. You will remain that until you log out Noticeboard and register as yourself again...

I need some time to understand all this.....
especially after a couple of beers....

meanwhile I 'll have another beer please....

Hello, everyone!

We are all silently appreciating the beer, I see.

So Zen. Good idea.

it seems we're not voluntary being silent...

*tries to stand up.. falls*

*Helps KF back onto a seat, and procures another round of beers*
Standing up ... one should never rush that sort of thing, I feel.

Yes, nice idea to keep the beer flowing - like the tao - like an online meditation.

Does trappist beer help people to meditate, though? Still have to meditate on that one.

One certainly achieves a state of silence and immobility after about three of them ...

That would be an interesting way to achieve nirvana.

Better switch to soda-water now, though

Paul! A soda water for Peaceful, please ... the night is still young, and we don't want any more casualties!

* Accepts the soda-water with relief,

Dank u wel, Minheer.

I definately believe that beer can help me to achieve Wu Wei

tnx for the beer... the service here is etraorinary

I definately believe that beer can help me to achieve Wu Wei

tnx for the beer... the service here is extraordinary

Wu Wei is an extraordinary state, of course.

I am remembering a lot of Belgium stories, though.

Peaceful, that is because of the soda water. if you stick to the beer, then you will remember nothing about Belgium

Sorry - but too many stories. Little Wolfgang and little Helmuth going meeting their cousin Marialein in the thirties - a beach, in Belgium. Helmuth would be around six years old. Asked to leave the beach because he wasn't wearing a shirt. Not too long ago. Other people, in another century, another country.
