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

*puts in earplugs and starts shouting to Kes about Lego*

Did you say you want more or less architects with an interest in Lego? I love the stuff. Apparently (I'm sure this must have been mentioned here already, but I thought it worth bringing it up again) isn't it a recognised part of a good engineer's education to play with Lego? And also there was something about people who make multi-coloured houses writing bad code. I'm an architectural student and used to build multi-coloured houses, which I think is probably more worrying. Though I think I was just ahead of my time - they shouldn't be called multi-coloured, just Post-Modern

Oh, and yes, my coding does have a certain character to it. At least I don't use GOTOs any more.

Put it down EV. It's not a toy. Anyway my ICQ is fixed and the User Data Box is back. I'm blaming "net congestion" ... or weevils.

I must go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow to take the car in for its MOT.

sorry about the frequent changes in free offer... got to keep the punters interested y'no. Anyway, feel free to contradict me... it makes life much more interesting that way.

*Bangs hammer on table, then remembers that he is a member of Save The Hammers* Whoops, sorry hammer. *buys the hammer a drink*

'Ning everyone. Can I have a quick please?
Yes Lego is great for cutting architects' teeth on - from an early age.
It's not bad for engineers either, except that there are severe limitations to making structural 90 degree turns in 3-D.
And it doesn't mess up the bar like drills and hammers. Pity there wasn't a software patch to your problems!

yawn.... hmm. I wonder if the drinks are still on DD. Kes, I'll have that Y of champagne now

*pours bubbly and proffers Y*
Certainly - here you are. I wondered who was paying at the moment.
Sorry if my conversation's a bit slow. I think someone needs to take the toolkit to the server, or my server, or the links - anyway at the moment it's running with all the speed and grace of a ruptured slug (as seen from my end).

*runs out to visit Dick and Art's second hand drinking vessel emporium (tankards to the nobility, grails a speciality). Returns with interesting but tarnished goblet (approx. 220 ml capacity). Grabs bar towel and commences hurring and polishing (no spitting) *

aaaah! finally finished. now lets crack open that bottle shall we Kes?

You know, God can put a lot of things on to you when He wants!

*applies final ruib-down to now-shiny goblet, produces celebratory magnum ...POP! ... and pours*
Here's to all things holy - socks excepted. Your astonishingly good health, FC.
I'm intrigued - do tell more.

I offer my help on an *ask angels* forum, then He walks in and gives me this golden sword to do a sainting on! I've finally posted it... and am actually on quite a high.... *flutters round room, doing loops!*

hehe! so I had to swish the sword, and allow there entry into the world of Guardian Angels!!!! quite a responsibility, thouhg i think its turned out rather nice

cheers!

Wow! Well, there's only one thing to do in a situation like this.
*pours more bubbly drinks; raises Y*
Cheers.
Do you have more angelic activities scheduled for today, or are you now on a seraphic booze-break?

LOL! Always on call, though I'm sure I can fit some drinking time in... I know Zax would encourage it, him being the Patron Saint of Alcoholic Indulgences....

That's good. We still have about 940 ml of champagne to go, and only a very select gathering here. What a crew! Including the assorted champagne supplies, we seem to have widows (Cliquot, Bollinger), abbots (Perignon) angel and Lego lover.
*some feathers have floated down after the last victory loop. K removes one from his glass*
Despite what the moderates say, when it comes to alcohol one has to struggle to get enough - one can never have too much - at least, not that I can recall.
Down the hatch! *still thinking about feathers?*

LOL! It gets better.... I tell you, that God is cunning.... Greetings from the Herald of Heaven!!!!

I'll calm down soon, I promise..... well, maybe not for a while!

Cheers!

*wanders in, looks around*

Just one thing - you don't have to start behaving all holy, do you? Not that I'm suggesting that you ... er, I mean, er, I think I'll stop now. Is there a bowl of trifle I can put my other foot into?
