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

What astonishing news!

I thank goodness I chanced upon this forum.

For the good of diplomacy I cast off my swimwear - *hasty removal of ceremonial speedo's*

Oh Yes! this is much better - quite liberating in fact.

I remain

The Ambassador

*marches purposefully down the beach to thaw relations elsewhere*

Almost all shark attacks occur in warm shallowish water. I wonder if this is because humans only swim in warm shallowish water or do sharks eat people so has to get access to the human gene pool and shortly the sharks will grow legs and start walking on beaches.

Someone has already mentioned the threat of land-sharks. Hence the erection (fnarr) of 'anti land-shark netting' around the bikini competition.

I would also just like to add:

Oh Ambassador, wiz zese rocher you are really spiling us!

May I,on behalf of the members of Veggies skinny-dipping fraternity,thank you for the award of an award
We are also maintaining the same standards in *Velma* our own

*timidly raises a tail* Uhm.. erm... uh.. -I'm- in Velma, toooooo.. can.. Uhm..er.. If you please.. uhm.. Can I join? *blushes pink*

Aha!
So that's why noone was wearing trunks! Well, my good man, I hope you will accept my humble request for membership! I hereby swear never to wear these again!!
*hands over a pair of soaking wet Speedos*
Am I in? Please?

May I also be considered? I've been inside Velma for a few days now and am most grateful I am without a cozzie as it would most certainly be a bit stinky and fishy by now..... Velma could do with some internal air fresheners or something...... Here (Gwennie profers her soggy towel), get a whiff of this....

Yet more members! And there was me thinking that everyone would just ignore this page, and it would be a complete waste of a couple of hours of my time. How wrong I was. Sorry about ignoring member requests, but I'm still at home, and I can't get on the net as much as I'd like to at Uni. Have patience, and they will all be duly added. I've nearly finished the certificates now, so soon you'll be able to have a wonderful link on your page.

Well I suppose I've been hanging around the beach long enough that I should get involved with this.

*Flings swimming shorts-away*

Not that I'd wear them near the beach, but it was just to remove temptation.

Sign me up too, it was alittle stinky inside Velma, I really learnt the multiple benefits of being a H.R.A.S.C. member.

Hey - I've been away for a month, what's this about certificates? Do I get one to put on the Beach?

Nearly done. I left my computer in manchester over Xmas, so I haven't been able to do anything, but they'll only be a few days now.
(Yet another excuse to put off revision)

Well, we all have those excuses. Deadline, what deadline?

So, any further news on those certificates? Or have you abandoned the idea?

Iam against swimsuits indeed. Mainly because of the dangerous sharks, but also for other reasons... Rousseau was for complete transparency in the social relationships. "Down with the social masks" he said, and today I add "Down with the swimming costumes".
After all there is no way a costume can look better than a human being (especially if she's a she( if I dare say))
therefore, please sign me up

I think you should be signed up - give him a certificate too!

Thanks Blueb

Of course! I would have replied sooner, but the university network has gone completely tits up.

I'm sorry to hear that. I won't pressurise you into certificates because I understand.
