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

Yes - I see him too now, and you've arrived
I wonder what he's looking at - hasn't written anything for weeks.

If he comes here - Hello!

Why don't you go and offer him a few virtual doughnuts.

I doubt he'll be much interested... I could tell him the dreadful news that he didn't win the H2G2 bikini competition

Would he be overly happy about being entered?

How can the guy have written all 5 books of the Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy as well as the two Dirk Gently ones, and not have a sense of humour

Thats a point, but at least he didn't win that would have been silly.

Instead someone no-one's even heard of won, and that's silly too...
But good.

I think you should both have drinks on me.
And can I get another please?

That way no-one in perticular won, so no hurt feelings.

How much persuasion do you think it would take to persuade him to come to my Uni's dramatic society's latest show (DNA, that is, not the winner of the bikini competition, though he/she can come to). Sorry for such blatant advertising!

Hey Cakewalker - have a on me!
I haven't seen you for a long, long, long time! Always great to see you here - if it wasn't for you, I'd've never found the old F&F!
Here, have another , and tell us what you're doing.
*Apologies for blatant over-enthusiasm, but Cakewalker's a great friend*

He is that, but I'm sorry to say that I have to leave. So help youselves to whatever behind the bar and I'll catch up later.

G'night

Good night Menza - it was good to see you here again
Now, let's all have a and Joanna a (unless she would prefer something else?)

Yes please...I did ask for one and offer you a a bit ago but you didn't notice

I'm sorry - but Cakewalker was on!
He's the one I officially credit with helping me meet more people, and getting me off my homepage and following Peregrin about.
And Bumblebee is the one I officially credit for inspiring to have more than my "Fish Called Honda" story on the front of my homepage. They're old friends I remember well...
And you are a great friend too

Thanks Bluebottle! Yep, greatly appreciated. Think I'll have a look in the fridge for a non-virtual one, actually, to go with it. I've been a bit under the old work - coursework, setting up an internet design partnership with a friend and being involved in the dramatic society's show. How about you?

Sorry!
Hi Cakewalker

Hi Joanna. Well, that's two days in a row that coming online and chatting has cheered me up. Bluebottle, do you know anyone in any of Southampton uni's drama societies? I'm not acting/singing in this year's show, but there are two girls from Southampton (I think from the University). I know there are lots of girls in Southampton (and probably lots called Liz and Danni), but it's narrowed down a bit by knowing their interests. Just wondered if there was any chance you know them.

*BS wanders in muttering darkly*
This is where I had my last pint and this is where I'm going to have my next.
*Pulls a of Grumpfuttocks*
I don't know, un-authorised conversation changes, people resurrecting old rounds, not like the old days, you knew where you were in those days, the last entry of a round was from Menza directing you to the next one, a naming covention you could understand, none of this 'The Mutated Party...' lark.
*Goes and sits in a corner with pint and fags, still muttering*

*Decides it would not be in her best interests to trouble BS for a ; pours it herself*
*Walks gingerly over to corner and pulls up a stool next to BS*
smile?
