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

...seems to have abated somewhat. They appear to be keeping themselves pretty much to themselves, expending most of their energy in the 'Yikes' thread.

So Bruvv'as, this leaves us with an exciting opportunity to rethink our remit, broaden our bailiwick & further our function.

Any ideas?

If you want to broarden your outlook and further your functions...

(after the amount of chilli you say you've eaten, you must be a right glutton for punishment)

I'd suggest eating more fibre and fruit and drinking lots of water.



I don't remember being asked to think about remits in the first place, though.

What shape are they?

They're vaguely Waiter's Friend shaped, complete with cork on the cork screw, but with teddy bear ears where the little knife bit should be.

ah...

Right.



Silly of me to admit my ignorance really, I suppose.




Boy, I love the way everyone's flocking to offer their ideas.


Must be the weather or something.




Whatever it is we decide to stand for, let it be magnificent, expansive and totally unrepentant, eh?

?

It is just slightly possible that, having recently opened a bottle of wine, I looked around the computer desk and pickled the first thing I saw.

Not sure where the teddie ears came from though! Probably something to do with Br. 2legs' thong. These things usually are.

It is also slightly possible that, despite the large, friendly suggestion at the bottom of Da' Bruvver'ood page, people haven't subscribed to the conversations.

It is also also possible that it's just a bit dead here at the moment.

It is also also also possible that nobody's got any ideas.

It is also also also also possible that I owe Br Azathoth a tenner, but that's not relevant right now.

I think most of those reasons are perfectly possible; especially the one about no one having any ideas. That sounds eminently reasonable to me.

OK, you've twisted my arm; let it be wine for this evening.

Cheers.

Son number 2 finished off the JD last night anyway, little beast, and I doubt Son no. 1 has had the decency to leave much Morgans

Ho hum, that means another day trip to France in the near future.






How about a Bruvver'ood trip to Calais for the day? No boring girly retail therapy, just an excuse to get some duty free in, and get langered on the boat over?

And back, of course

I really, really wish you hadn't mentioned JD. Do you have any idea how close the offie is?

Very. The offie is very close. I'm really rather tempted.

Naw... wine is nice enough, and it's pissing down here.

It really isn't worth the effort.

Honest

Oi!

I bet you've slunk out to the offie, you little rogue, you



In which case, can you bring me back a couple bottles of tonic (I've found an unopened bottle of Smirmoff at the back of the cupboard, and feel morally obligated to ensure its not gone off) and an aero bar.

Matt needs our help to overthrow the shackles of being a mere security toy.

Get in there - I'm running out of psyco babble and silly jokes




If you hang on a minute, I'll even find the thread I'm talking about, to

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F16034?thread=4636465&post=53963458#p53963458 with a bit of luck.

Yes!

Let's go and burn the infidels!

or at least give em a bit of a roasting, anyway.




Can I interest you in an and a in the meantime Br. DQ?

Well, why not.

I sure will make w*rk more interesting...

oops. it will make work more interesting.

I'd better not have so many that I make w*rk more interesting

You never know, it might be a new and exciting experience for you

Go on... get them down you Brother!

Psst!

(Not quite, but I'm working on it)

I think Matt the Mat wants to join us. He appears to have defacat- erm..... Thingy. Wants to join another side. You know the word I mean... don't you?

I've fobbed Lil off with an old toy badger I've been trying to get rid of for ages. I just need to knit it some knickers and find a toy padlock so he can't be debriefed by the Sisterhood.



Result or what?

I think you'll find that Matt The Matt joined us some time ago, which makes his detainment all the more terrible.

He's become braver and stronger since I mentioned s and the hot and cold running s

Do you think we could nip out and buy a few to make him feel comfortable next time he enters our hallowed portals?

We could always keep the ones he doesn't use by for the more macho members of the Bruvver'ood, when they get a Man Cut, or Man Flu.

Buy him a few? This is Da' Bruvver'ood: we've already got plenty.
