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

Looks like the barrel has stopped
Left a **** big hole in the wall though!

See, there it is, all stopped:

but, oh dear it seems to be leaking, I suppose somebody had better do some drinking fast. Any volunteers?

Ooh, peering further in, the barrel seems to have opened up a new room in the F&F. I wonder what it is for?

drat, why doesn't it come out the same here as in the preview? and I previewed it sooo carefully too, to get every detail right.

Still looks pretty good. I couldn't do it.

I'm glad the barrel avoided other rooms, I had taken to hiding behind pillars.

We could make this a virtual pet corner and talk/reminisce about cyber animals.

we could, if we wanted to
we can do virtually ANYTHING, if we want to, as long as we do it virtually

Could I virtually fly off a five storey building? Or does it have to be a virtual building too?

yes, i think it does rather.

Pity. I would like to be able to fly like superman. I have heard stories about people who have tried to virtually fly from real buildings. It doesn't work too well, but I had to ask.

no harm in asking, only in doing without appropriate forethought

Is that trying to fly, or asking without appropriate forethought?

Or both?

And should I really have asked that question?

And Why am I having a conversation with myself?

Shut up now R97644

Okay.

I've given up the idea of flying now. I'm trying to seek my fortune instead. Just wondering where to do it at the moment.

try a city paved with gold

Nah most people will have dragged up the paving slabs and used them as hard currency already. I know how Dick Whittington goes (I played the Merchant in a school production 10 years ag).

ah, well, you'll have a bit of trouble then

Possibly, but I'm sure I'll think of something else to make my virtual fortune from.

You can try virtually anything, except a virtual pub.

Perhaps I should explain, I have recently become a member of Queen bluDragon's court (You can visit the court at http://www.h2g2.com/A230545 to pay your respects/tribute) and my title is currently 'Official Seeker of Fortune to the Realm of Damogran' So now I should act on it. I wasn't thinking of setting up a pub, I wouldn't be able to spend as much time as I do here then.

OK, how about a supermarket. The servery has run out of stock.

that would be good
you'd have to stock soem unusual ingredients though, for my baking.

oh, and I have just volunteered to back for the same court, so you would probably be encouraged by the queen in your enterprse, if she likes my cakes that is

I could sell nuts too!

I'll think about it but I am not tooo good at setting up webpages and the like so it would be quite a bland supermarket.
