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

Shazz and Fenchurch, Thanks a bunch. ICQs of support from America before I even wrote the article.

Now I really know what humble means.

Hey, LT&PP,
Hope something better comes along - I was made redundant two years ago, and I still work hard at being redundant in as many senses of the word as possible

Maybe you could use some of your newfound free time to post a full definition of "Redundant" on the guide, in case I missed some meanings...?

But seriously, from what you said it sounds like you are better off out of there - there's never a shortage of jobs for talented Quark ops. (I just wish I had the talent...)

Peet

Thanks L&PP.....you have all the support from both sides of the ocean as I'm from England Keep your Pecker up...at least you will have more time for h2g2 for the next few weeks

Yep. One in all in L'Toonz!

Sorry Shazz. You now not only suffer a male/female dilemma but also from continental drift

So L'Toonz, where to from here?

Sorry to put such a serious question, but there's always a serious period when I'm drinking. It'll be over soon.

I am watching the PGA Golf tournament at the moment. Next month is the USA tennis open. In 45 days the Rugby World Cup begins

We then have the Y2K celebrations followed by the Olympic Games.

Seriously, I plan to have a complete break from real work over summer. Recharge the batteries so to speak.

Most of my family live in Adelaide and I plan spending a bit of time over there checking out prospects.

Financially there is no big need to work for a boss again. I wouldn't mind starting a free local paper. Filling it with local advertisements and local news. There is a good crew of people with the appropriate skills who took voluntary redundancy available.

Early days yet though.

Well it sounds as if you've got things worked out. After all, free drinks are always a good sign, right?

LOL....I LOVE that comment L&PP.....you are survivng with your sense of humour neatly in tact I see

Oops....why does it do that!! Should have been higher up the page LOL..your idea sounds very promising....well worth keeping in mind I should think Enjoy the break though....no point in overdoing it with all those interesting activities to persue!!

I will take fifteen Rusty Nails please Loony Tunes and don't worry I'll send the bill including the tip !!!

BTW ; this is one of the reasons I started my own little business...

GL & ATB,

TM.

....and I'll go with the Brandy & Babychams please....taking a little rest from the beer after the wild party at Veggies

Hi Towelmaster. I intend to take a break over the summer. (Spring here in 10 days)

I belong to a club where most of the members (male and female) are over 40 and I have been approached to organise installing a couple of computers on which members can surf the net and send and receive email.

The club will pay me to run introduction to computing classes which will be free to members.

A lot of the members children are, or going, overseas for working holidays etc and this is the way the kids want to communicate these days.

If I get this scheme working well at my club I may be able to do the same in other clubs and eventually become filthy rich

Attaboy !!! And the fun is ; when the business runs nicely you won't be filty rich but well off is a good alternative(take it from me).

If you're ready for the continent give us a message...

LOL....and remember to point them all in the direction of h2g2
shazz

I always do but most of them ignore me or are just too bored....

?????.....I mush still be dwunk...I wash talking to L&PP then *hic*.~~~~~~~*tchoo*
shazz

Then Why *hic don't you *hic8 say *hic so ? Aw whatever...

If you don't mind me asking TowelMaster what field is your business involved in?

Shorry ;-(
