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

No Irving, I have been using an old shack-out-the-back, just a few bits of wood nailed together really, to have a few beers to celebrate NZ's various sporting victories after I have witnessed them on the Aroma Cafe's excellent TV.

*strolls in, glancing around the cafe*

Hey everyone. Ermmm, that chair over there is on its back, did you realise that is really bad for it?

*heaves chair up somewhat clumsily, arm rest falls off*

uh oh...is there a tool box in the place?

*looks around for one, but can't spot anything vaguely resembling a screwdriver or hammer*

I think I'll just sit over here, looking guilty, until the proprieter is about and I will explain the whole thing. Lemme see "It wasn't me, I didn't do it" sounds as good a defence as any.

*giggles nervously*

IIEM, black coffee while I wait, and are there any of Joanna's donuts around?

*notices Ook swinging in the rafters*

Hey Ook! Where's everyone today?

Ook!<\Ook>

Hmmm, well while I'm waiting, how about a game of scrabble?

*Pulls out scrabble board from shelf while Ook gently lands on floor and shuffles across to table and chairs*

Now, Ook - I have a pocket dictionary this time, so don't try what you did last time...

Eeek!<\Ook>

No, Ook, don't play dumb - I know xenetride is NOT an amino acid, I looked it up!

*has the decency to look guilty*Ook<\Ook>

*Looks hard at tile selection - QWERTYU - has to be the most coincidental selection in the history of scrabble played at a keyboard...*

I don't know of anything you could do with that one...

By the way, Looney, when did we get a TV?

*floating in, in her usual v.e.l.manner*

Good morning all!

BB, could I have a c)_( please?
IIEM, I'll have OJ meanwhile, please!

*strolls over to scrabble board*

Yes, Ook, TORQUE is a word - and the Q is on a triple word score, so that makes it....let me see...

75 for me, and 62 for you.

*indignant*Oook<\Ook>

Look, you can check my working out - I have it on this bit of paper.

*gets up and stretches*

IIEM - another expresso please

*while Ook checks out score sheet, walks over to Irving*

Ummm, sorry to be the one to tell you this, but that chair was on its back when i got here, and, um, when I put it back one of its arms fell off.

I'm pretty handy with tools, but I couldn't seem to find any to put it back on...

Good morning!
Who's been playing with the furniture then?
*rummages around in her handbag*
Here Tashalls, this is a very handy toolbox.
*Hands toolbox to T.
And now, coffee!

Mornin' all!

Coffee please, IIEM!

I got top-grades (can one say that?) on the final examination for my craft certificate yesterday!!! Yippiii!!!!!!!
AND
I bought an excellent cd too!!! (Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds / Live at Luther college)

Congratulations, One-eye!

Ook, Tashall has calculated correctly, now get on with the game!

Congratulations One-eye! When's the party?

if you mean the RL-party, that would have to be this weekend. U coming over from Bergen?

h2g2-style, I'm only on during workdays, but I suppose I'll set up something next week...

*wanders in*
Hello all.
*brews fresh v/_|3 and pours a . Sips and enjoys*
Aahh! It's been too long. Not really here, so if I don't respond straight away, don't worry.

*sips coffee, reads newspaper (the cartoons only, it's still to early in the day for the gory news.)
