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

There's no need for a vote. But if I have to justify my position..

I am English (or a limey in N. American parlance). I have been to London a few times, often... and I like it. (at least in the short doses I experienced so far). I can even tolerate going into a pub and settling for a pint of Directors'. I do not live within a 1000Km radius of the City.This makes retribution a transcontinental affair.

I can be planted randomly in the "theatre district" and find a good restaurant, eat, and find the tube station - needless of cheap tourist map. And without suffering too many skin abrasions.

I have some opinions.

I want POWER!

These all sound very solid arguments in your favour I will put the body of your application up and await a response!Sorry,but as England is supposed to be a democratic country,I cannot abritarily award you the position

I rest, until my nomination is challenged.

Will there be an election? How shall one participate/influence this process?

I would like to cast my ballot for Mayor Dudemeister - as long as I can get a cushy job in the mayor's office after the election.....

You are the Advisor for Disinformation then. There is no vote yet so I am assuming we have to take control. Do what you must, or else... Make it so Mr. Advisor.

You shall have a nice "luxury-like" villa in Tooting and a 1978 anno domini rare vintage Vauxhall luxury estate car as a perk.

Now hold on just a minute guys!!I will be organising a fair voting system.....along the lines of the *Softball Team Naming*!But it is 6.30am here and I will need to get some sleep before I can attempt such a manoevre in here.....please be patient!All nominations will be considered,and the closing date is officially set at 31st October.....just in time for All Saints Day

It's 1:30am here and the mayor is now asleep.

Hmmmmmm!!

Shazz.....allow me to present a suggestion. I noticed that you have a voting booth set up, but you are still accepting nominations. Perhaps you should set up a specific deadline for the nominations, and then open up the voting booth......

What do you want, Frink.....organization!? This is SHAZZ you're talking about....right? To be organized, one needs SLEEP! We all know that Shazz DOES NOT SLEEP......therefor, organization is not possible!

NM

hmmmmm...good point.

Point taken!! I will get right on it!! Thanx for the thought As for you NM....I spent all night formatting your resume and correcting the s/p mistakes!!
shazz

i guess she told you NM LOL!!!!
monsy

I beg your pardon...they were NOT MY spelling errors. Talk to Bill Gates! I can't help it if his programs don't know an error when they see one!

NM

But who put them there in the first place!
shazz

Ha! Shazz 1, NM 0

That's what I have "spellcheck" for....to make me appear perfect!

Don't yuins knowd thet bye nowe? I be larnin' lots 'o stuff hyear on this contraption.......all kinds 'o cipherin' an such. For to long, why, I'll be able to put all my 6 years 'o schoolin' ta good uses!

NM

I just put that through my spellchecker and got this:

Don't ruins know theta bye owe? I be learning' lots 'o stuff higher on this contraption...all kinds 'o ciphering' an. For to long, why, I'll be able to put all my 6 years 'o schooling' TA good uses

Do you people sit around with your spellchecker in hand?!! Tut,Tut!
Trust yourselves a little more! LOL
shazz

I deliberately set my spellchecker for US English. In Canada people use one or the other, mix them up or hopefully use English English. I do this so that while (if) I run a spell check I can constantly disagree with it - correcting it. Human-Power!
