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

Well!

Would to do the former, especially as I and collect Monopoly, and I have done certain sections of the second.

A better idea is leap on a , doesn't matter the direction, and then leap off at the next stop that has a liquid-dispensing premises locally.

Enjoy the sustaining liquid, only one mind, then leave and, checking both directions, grab the very next , irrespective of direction, and continue for as long as possible.

Finally try and work out where you have ended up, and see if you can get home from there.

One proviso is that you don't get on the same otherwise you could end up visiting the same two establishments.

Do not attempt this in a Country that you are unfamiliar with, and where you don't speak the language... Like Nodnol...

Why has (just about) everybody in this thread got "Br" at the front of their name?

Be honest, what you really want to know is why you haven't got one.

I definitely won't be attending the meet now. It was always unlikely that I'd be able to afford something so late in the month but I've now got to go on a union training course (oh, the joys of being a newly appointed rep) so really can't do it. Not sure how I'm going to afford the course though: these things tend to involve a lot of bar based activity.

What time does the evening start?

Depends when others want to arrive, not sure how long I'll be able to stay as I'll have to come back on the train but can turn up myself pretty much any time during the day that people want so long as I know they'll be people there that is

2 Legs I'll be arriving at Victoria around noon and can meet you at Kings Cross if you like, and get us to the big pub in Holborn

Have you still got me e mail address?

I can stop for a a couple of pints with you, then bootle over to Somerset House and meet the rest of the lads before belting back to Victoria for the 6 00 coach home.

Would that make life easier for you?

Sadly, looks like I'll have to girl out of this particular event now.

There's a reason.

RF

That sounds terribly ominous...

Another one bites the dust

At this rate you'd be better off buying a crate, a couple of bottles and having the meet at MMF's flat!

Damn shame. I really am sorry I can't be there. Which is odd, as I'm sure for many it's a relief!

Oy! Don't start that again!!!

And there is ABSOLUTELY no reason why you can't be there!!!

Told you, at £1:89 a pint, and you're on JD? How can you lose?

And I'll swap your bank balance for mine, any time!

Is your negative equity into 5 figures yet?

BTW, who offered to meet up with me when I was ?

Even if it is just for two hours... You know you'll feel better!!!

Your choice though... No pressure...

*Now where did I put that Solitare game!!!*

MMF

There is a very good reason why I can't be there: I'm going to be in Brighton with 60 LGB&T union reps for a training course.

Bring them along then - I'm sure we could teach em a lot more than some boring old trainer

It looks like I might not be doing the course now, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll know by the end of the day.

Don't jinx it brother!

Official confirmation: I'm not attending the union thing, so will probably* be attending the meet.

*I try to avoid fully committing to anything as I'm a bit rubbish.

Holy sister and second-cousin-removed of BoB... your more non comittal than I am! I think you shoudl be awarded a Prize for that Ooo has anyone hastled whoever is the Italics anymore on site for prizes? ooo quizz... any ideas? My thoughts are that its too hard to administer a quizz in a pub where 'normal' people are also there how abouts a name badge [er[] competition instead? we can nab some random bloke from outside the pub who's best makes with Darwin and bearnie eccleston and who's cousin is about to marry Jaen michelle-ja to pick the iwinner is that a ship I see in the distance?

Badge-wearing should be compulsory and, as my are a little on the restricted side, I'm not sure I can afford to provide a prize for best badge... I'll see what I can do!

Probably best to make a note on the Meeting page re: Badges, and I'll do the same on the Afternoon Meet page!



Oh! And Roymondo... stop prevaricating and just say 'YES', you know you want to...
