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

I have:

¬!"$£$%^&*()_+
`1234567890-=

why do you have 2 $ and no @?

my # is one the third key to the right of L, just left of the enter key

so, top row is ¬!"£$%^&*()_+ above `1234567890-= with ¦ and € as AltGr access keys "next to" ` and 4 respectively

I then have on my asd... row ; and ' and # with :and @ and ~ above them respectively

totalling (in the white character keys area, excluding the space bar)
48 character keys
of which 26 are the pure alphabet keys
the remaining 22 contain 10 numbers and 36 other character symbols
and then there is the space bar too

This is getting all very technical all of a sudden.

My @ is above the ' above the right shift key.

I just do not feel like food at all
although I feel like something NICE.
you know how it is when you are not feeling too good, you want something nice, to tease and tempt your appetite, but you do not in any way want to have a hand in the making.
all my flatmates have now gone home for christmas and I am alone, remaining forlornly and ill-ly till Sunday, when I too will be off.
Oh for the week to end!

Sorry, no food today. Call in for a pizza. Get someone else in to provide the traditional pub foods. There's plenty of stuff in the kitchen. Just as long as no-one expects me to do anything but sneeze and cough.


Ah-ah-ah-aaatCHOO!!!

People have obviously been overindulging, they can't tell their @ from their &.

Sorry to hear about the cold MH, I've got one too. Let me get both of us a Lemsip.

thanks.

ho hum, lots to do today.

would you like a spiced bun?

Thanks very much, and you can have the usual |_|.

so tonight we are back to the usual catering

and it is chinese fried chicken legs with rice and small vegetables

and for the non-chicken eaters it is chinese fried "insert choice here" with rice and small vegetables

Sounds great, but I've already had bangers and mash.

at the moment I am noshing on poppadoms and mango chutney
but for dinner there will be baked potato with tuna and salad cream (on one half), double gloucester and wensleydale cheese (on another half) and spinach, sweetcorn and tomato (on the third half).

Sounds like a big meal.

no, they are pretty small potatoes.

Sounds like a major feet of cookery.

not between a number of us

baking the potatoes is really easy
stick em in the oven and wait

tuna and salad cream is simple
cheese is easy

and the spinach and tomato is fairly straightforward - take a can of chopped tomatoes and heat up, add some finely chopped spinahc (do fnacy thing with sharp chefs knife) and stir, add some pepper, garlic, worcester sauce and herbs and bring to boil, simmer for a minute then serve

spinach and mushroom korma and naan bread

Sounds nice, but wouldn't agree with me.

would you like my lunch then? freshly baked (still hot out of the oven) bread with butter (melting) and homemade jam?
