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

I've been meaning to go over to the Archer message board aan look for him.

Meaning and failing.

about your PC, R Zend. I'll go home, proof my dissertation, and cook supper, shall I?

Married life on HooToo? My mind just blew.

I left Taff a message in scrabble. No idea if and when he'll find it (I often miss those messages in there)

You should see if S wants to join, Irv!

There have been so many milestones -- marriages, births, deaths, changes galore. Remember Mike A? We were uncertain as to whether he might be murdered before he got to age 21. Now he has a history degree and a wife.

It really is amazing. Every once in a while I remember how long ago I started coming to HooToo... Then I feel old so I stop.

I'll ask, Gwen, but she doesn't spend nearly the amount of time online that I do. Also, her laptop is ancient, so we generally have to take turns using mine.

That'll just make it even more marriage-life romantic, Irv

>Can you have deja vu about the end of the world?
Well - according to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe, you can

Back from Spain, spent the day emptying the last of my mother's apartment. The storage room in the cellar now officially cannot hold any more!

Hey Styx

It occurs to me that my H2G2 birthday is in 4 days, I'll be 12!

Styx the Rat -- now that's a name I've not heard in a long while...

And happy to see it again!

All these people are making me happy, never a state to be discounted.

RE the animals in Ohio -- part of my dismay was that I was afraid that the hunters might shoot each other by accident, happens all the time during deer season. At least a trank dart is a little forgiving. I do see that they had no choice, but damn! Best we can do is keep the village idiots from keeping outré animals.

Everything now settled in the lower stomach region. Just as well as we drove back up the A9 this evening. A dark, windy and wet drive. I would have been in purgatory if unwell.

Nothing quite like being home, hot chocolate going on and the stove is lit.

Is it just me that is getting odd links in his posts? Or am I just odd?

It's if you refer to a letter/number combination which starts A, F or U, it could be an article, conversation forum or user. i.e.. A9 F1 U2

They may not actually *be* an article, forum or user, but the site treats them as if they are as that;s what it sees A numbers, F numbers and U numbers as being.

Oh, F1 and U2 don't seem to do it any more, I'm sure they used to.

F1 definitely did. It became a kind of unofficial Formula 1 chat I think.

I know F1 <./>F1</.> still worked the other day.

This must be similar to abbreviating Gw7en's name to G7

And wasn't Researcher 2 a fictional account for a certain Mr Hewson of Dublin. Or at least it was till Auntie got hold of it.

Indeed.
