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

*Lady P Fan Club zoom away in an excited jumble*

Nope. They're very busy at the moment, in fact. Ever since they launched their website, they've been swamped by applications from eager new members and they spend most of their time assembling application packs and mailing badges and t-shirts.

It's become depressingly professional, in fact. Some of the older ones are starting to get very cynical about the influx of new members - or 'joiny-come-lately's as they're known.

Oh...




OH!




*shrug* I just don't get it Trin... I mean, haven't they got better things to do?
I mean, they're sweet and all, but--- well, they're looking up to a barmaid, don't you think that's a bit strange?

A bit strange ... ?

Naaah!

But, as I say, now they're all busy writing entries for L2P2 ('Lady Pennywhistle's Best Drinks'; 'What Lady Pennywhistle Had for Breakfast on the 12th of January 2004'; 'Lady Pennywhistle's 3rd-Favourite Apron' and so on), they may not be around as much, in the flesh, so to speak.

Just for clarification, what *does* Lady Pennywhistle's 3rd favorite apron look like?

And who is this General Squeals person that seems to be leading the cleaning bots?

*Whisper* I don't think I have one...


This whole thing is getting a bit creepy, actually.

*wonders in and falls over the backlog knocking himself unconscious *wakes up morning.

Evening Mr. 2legs sir! Y'alright?

Helolo! yes I think so, I didn't bang anything important like my badger when I fell I'm just a bit out of touch with what is happening in these here parts Could I have an please?

Of course sir!

I think we're all a bit out of touch, actually.

Oo - oo, livin' on a prayer!

See what I mean?

Yes... place has been closed for a while sir - almost feels like it's been forgotten.

Ahhh; so thats why I've been wondering about inside the hotel all this time and not able to get out the doors into the 'outside'! well hopefully we can drum up some more trade for the place

Almost like it's ...

!

A bar!

woooooooooooo

Who you gona call: Ghost barsters

Ghost barsters? Is that like ghost-barmaids?

That could get confusing. You try to serve someone a drink and it falls right through your hand.

You could try putting it down on a ghoster.

Its happened more than once I bet. maybe we should do cocktails; ghost on the beach?

Ooh!

Phew; wasn't a ghost at all; just my reflection in the shiney bar top
