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

Had a bad hypo last night *cringes* and so I now have a headache *groans*

I need that toast...

I'm afraid I'm not into the lingo quite... hypo, is that the getting very drunk? some kind of disease?
*looking forward to moving to New Zealand and becoming better at English*

Maybe I'll have a toast myself. Luchtime is coming around

JAR

Hello, toast sounds good. With peanut butter? Please IIEM? And a white coffee, one sugar please.

Is there a TV in here?

Hypo is short for hypoglaecemia. Very low blood sugar.

Hiya sol, joe

That don't sound too good, Joe!
Any way of preventing it?

JAR, I'm in Drammen, so thats.. ehm... about 30km or something?

*Enters, washes up, puts v/_\3 for One-eye's tea. *

A with extra cream and sugar for a low blood sugar please BB.

Joe: Hypo sounds like a b*tch. Do you use insulin (if it's called that in English...)?

One-Eye: Yeah, I think it's about 30-40 km. Halfway to Oslo. How is Drammen? I've only been there in transit when I was in "boot-camp". Hung around the railwaystation a lot. And speaking about Drammen Railwaystation: Do you know why there are hordes of fourteen years old, scantily dressed girls hanging around in the middle of the night places like that? Confused me a lot.

JAR, no longer an army ant

*Pours Joe's *
Tea and a pint at the same time, Joe?

I'll have my tea now, BB

JAR, when was this? You, see there is an "ungdomsskole" right by the railwaystation, and about three-four years ago, I was quite active in organizing a kind of disco/youthclub-thingy at that school. Could've been that.

One raises my blood sugar... the other lowers it...

Yes, I use insulin

*Hands One-eye over his c)_(*

*takes tea*
*sips it*

aahhh....
Nobody makes tea like BB!
Must be a combination of extraordinary cooking skills and Looney's NZ-water

*floating in, stil a bit stiff-leggedly after yesterday's first flamenco dancing class after summer*

Hi all!

BB, could I have a c)_( please...

*Pours Titania a c)_(*
"I could have danced all night
I could have danced all night
And still have begged for more,
I could have spread my wings
And done a thousand things
I've never done before...."
Or not, Titania?

*Starts singing*

I'm tired of telling the story
Tired of telling it your way
Yeh I know what I saw
I know that I found the floor

Before you take my heart, reconsider
Before you take my heart, reconsider
I've opened the door
I've opened the door

Here comes the summer's son
He burns my skin
I ache again
I'm over you

How well you put it, BB!

*surprised by, but enjoying, Joe's singing*

One-eye: Perhaps the youth disco/club thing was it. If it's still alive. My observation hails from the summer of '99.

So people are out singing, huh?

I wanna...

Ahem

"I'm lost in the tango
I've lost all my fandango too
Drinking tequila,
from a señoritas shoe...

Dancing on the tables
Shooting for the moon
While a thousand guitars
play for you...."

*blushes and hides behind a paper*

*Looks up quizically*

For a moment there I thought the Man on the Flaming Pie had returned. Then I realised it wasn't The Beatles .

Cue the chinese chords please!

*Intro begins and Joe starts singing*

There are things
I can't tell you
I love you too much to say
I stand undressed
But I'm not naked
You look at me and who I am

refrain II
Understand that it is hard to tell you
That I've given all I have to give
And I can understand your feelings
But then everybody has a life to live

refrain:
Once in a lifetime
You have seen what I've seen
You will always swim for shore
Once in my lifetime
I'll never be in between
Some things you just can't ignore

Now reach out
You can touch me
I'll let you have my life to share
Years, the days
And the minutes
Yeh time has such a puzzling grace

refrain II

[refrain]

I just need to have your love
I just can't say no
It's a gift from way above
I just can't say no
It's the one big difference
If there's one thing I can have

[refrain]
