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

What ho chaps and thanks awfully for lettng me join the bally group, what? A rather small niggle though. I'm probaably just being a silly goose, but I'm finding it dashed tricky to get that bally old banner onto my personal space. If you could help out a Fellow in a spot of bother,I would be much obliged.

ps is this mode of speech nessecary in this club? Personally I think it would make things a lot more interesting.

It's entirely up to you if you want to talk like that.

This is the GuideML for the picture. Just copy and paste that onto your Personal Space update page wherever you like, and that oought to do it.

Thanks a bunch!

You're welcome.

I believe this could be considered to be the central thread of this establishment. But would it compromise my situation if I posted?

Decisions, decisions. Ah! And thus the native hue of resolution is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought, and enterprises of great pith and moment their currents turn awry and lose the name of action.

*Sits smugly enjoying the fact that he has memorised this and even kind of understands it*

In light of recent developments, I beieve in this case it would be advisable if I did not grace the thread with my presence, and so I shall not deign to post after all.

Nice quote. Whats it from? BTW, do you know about the Random Quotes Guild? It occours to me that you would fit right in.

I'm already a member! And the quote, by the way, is from Jeeves in one of the books, and is also from (putts on unbearably pretentious voice) the immortal bard.

Really? Don't seem to remember that one.

Don't worry, this sort of thing happens in a lot of Wodehouse books. My personal favourite example:

"I say, Jeeves?"

"Yes, sir?"

"Jeeves, who was that fellow that when looking at someone felt like someone looking at something?"

"I believe the individual to whom you refer, sir, is the poet Keats, who in his poem "upon first looking into Chapman's Homer" compared himself to Stout Cortez, first staring at the pacific, silent upon a peak in Darien, sir."

"The pacific, eh?"

"Indeed so, sir. "While all his men looked onward with a wild surmise," sir."

"Oh, yes. It's all coming back to me, now."

Ah! Like when Jeeves quotes Shakespeare on a number of occasions (Sorry for being a little slow, not at my best this time of day.
