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

Thank you! I've been to the Atelier a couple of times, and found it quite intimidating. Not, of course that everyone wasn't extremely kind, you understand. It's just...so....//big//

*makes herself as small as possible*

*promptly goes on a diet*

*Is on black coffee and fingernails anyway*

*needs to lose weight and will take this as an extra incentive*

Is someone somewhere somehow making something of a mockery of something somebody said?????

Yeah, OK, you're all lovely and I'm a daft old boot!! A group disobese might be a Good Idea?

Any takers

Dig

*munches potato salad and quiche*

How would that work then? I'm not good at disobesing? Disobeying, yes, disobesing, not so good.

Ben

Disobese is the best word I've heard for a while.

Me too

*Disobeses*

Sig. S. has little by little lost 12 kilos. I tried to follow suit, but I like butter and that kind of stuff too much.

Now I'll try again - and add a bit of exercise. My condition after having been sitting, drinking and smoking ===== while w*rking for many months takes a revenge on me. (Can you say that?) I cannot even catch a bus anymore....if it has left the bus stop before I arrive.

Disobesity rules OK. Diosobescence is what we need. I'm currently disobescent, in fact, newly so, as I disobesed to some pan-handle, then forgot, and undisobesed and am now Thoroughly Ashamed.

im confused, oh so very confused!

It's just people being mouse. Nothing to worry about!

Some people like to play with their words...

Words of nuance, words of skill
And words of romance are a thrill
Words are stupid, words are fun
Words can put you on the run

Or for that matter

Words dissemble
Words be quick
Words resemble walking sticks
Plant them they will grow
Watch them waver so
I'll always be a word man
Better then a bird man

I guess I *am* a word man, in fact...

Poetry yet! if my frivolity offended. I tend to get carried away.

Murmurs...but I do like words.......

'venerable' as per one of the definitions in Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary:

I don't think you offended anyone
We're all just playing around with words.

* sticks her head out of the main Salon

This looks like the kids gang, having a smoke round the back of the bikeshed

Or the speccy-four-eyed kids in the library, maybe

I'm not sure if my plan to go swimming before work is good for my health. Yesterday I had a bacon butty and today I had battered haddock and mushy peas.

All this keep fit stuff will put weight on.

Ben

No, it was smoking in the lavatories and chewing gum in the library...and packets of crisps....comics (not Beano). I know, I went round sniffing to find them, and made 'em scrape the gum off the chairs. Then they picked up litter outside, wet or fine, during the dinner hour for a month. Could we do it now? I know I couldn't do the rest of the job. I'd be in court in Strasbourg inside a week.

But - swimming before work? That /is/ yesterday. You must eat more to console yourself. Exercise is one thing, but this is self-flagellation, or is that a tautology? (Isn't 'natation' a lovely word...muses....natascent, natalogy, more? Sorry, again.
Dig

Ah, but the glorious things about swimming before work are

you lie down while you do it and
it's over and done with by 8.00 am and you don't need to think about it again until tomorrow


Here's an annotation
on matitudinal natation
I haven't got a notion
of natation in an ocean
and so I think it's cool
to do my swimming in a pool

Oh dear.

Sorry.

I'll get me towel.
