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

Hi Aces,
Although i have spent time here before about a year or so ago i am a newcomer.
As i cruise around i cannot help but notice (i always notice those sort of things...lol) that a large percentage of people in here are into frilly knickers of one sort or another.Any particular reason for it?.A lovely phenomena i might add.

i haven't noticed that, i may have to keep an eye out for it

Yes its true,keep your eyes peeled...its quite entertaining actually.
Could that be the reason that you fell in the first place...not keeping an eye out for things that is...or is it the contrary perhaps?.....

Hi,

I think its in honour of Wimbildon (never could spell!).

I see,well...lets hope the honour continues...don't you think?

Even though it's (very nearly) over...

Thanks Mark,i shall pop over and check it out now,although i should say that my initial comment was just a tongue in cheek (particularly cheek) comment on the current fashion.My sad sense of humour i am afraid.However it does help me to deal with the depressing state of english sport at the moment....at the moment?...hmmm....to be honest being a supporter of english sport has probably given me more grief in my life than women!!! (I honestly don't mean that to sound sexist)
to make matters worse i am a westham supporter too....oh the agony.

hi noname Nice to see you back here again...

Hey Joanna,
Thank you for that,it is lovely to see you still here and even lovelier to be remembered.How the heck are you?,whats been happening?whatever,as i say it is great to come back here and feel welcome again.Thankyou kindly.
Catch you later
Noname

I'm fine Still recovering from the real life meetup which was on Saturday...
You're always welcome here...

Cool...thank you.
Where was the meet,hopefully i will get to one one of these days.Maybe i will organise one in the bush one day,that would be fun,a bit of a trip for you all though.
Where can i find all these smileys?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Smiley for all the millions of smileys floating round the site...

The Bush... now *that* would be amazing.... I'd love to go on Safari... I shall one day.

I can categorically assure you that it will be one of the greatest experiences of your life.When you do get around to it try and make sure not to rush it,organise yourself plenty of time,chill out and get into it.Too many people organise a three day coach trip and think they have "done" the bush.To experience it fully you need to see it,smell it ,feel it,and sit in it so that it comes to you rather than whizzing round in an air con vehicle trying to find it.Never before was the saying ' can't see the wood for the trees more pertinent'.
Sorry...a bit of a rushed message but you get the idea i hope.
Noname

my do have some

I've always figured it was worth knowing a very small part of the world really well rather than a small part of the world a tiny little bit...

My mother used to work in Kenya, and go on Safari in the national parks there, and so I know that the one think one mustn't do is rush it!

Your mum must have some wonderful memories.Did she spend much time on the Serengeti?,I have not been there but i have heard a lot about it and by all accounts it is a wonderful place.How long ago was she there
Noname

PS I kind of set out from London quite a long time ago now with my handkerchief tied around a stick holding all my belongs (not quite) with the intention of finding out as much as possible about as much as possible.I was getting along very nicely but when i hit on Africa i immediately felt like i had found my paradise....great feeling.
Not sure if i am any the wiser though....sometimes....lol
