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

Good point about appealing to the originator of the page, and yes Peta IS still subscribed

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/MP24

i thought the originator was one of the other italics who set up this page by sneaking onto marks computer when he turned his back and using his account........i think it was abi or anna,,......but i might be wrong.

it was Peta... I know what you mean.

I need change the title of page, because I do not get a lot of responce

sorry, that made sense in the order i posted in but it got delayed somewhere in the etha and now i look dumb.

The originator of this Page, it was a joke by Peta, (read the beginning of the thread) Unfortunatly though she can't guarentee that the old threads will be back before Mark leaves

I know, "legacy queue" and all that jazz. Threads coming back in chronological order. Ah well, one day

Hi all,

Yes, it was me. I'm the one with an evil sense of humour in the office!

I'll try and recalcuate the arrival time of these postings later in the week. It'll be a close thing anyway, the conversations might just make it back in time!

you are such good colegue for your other pisa people, Peta.

Believe me life in the office would be boring without the odd pratical joke, my mate returned to his desk once to find everything (and I mean everything) had been cable tied to something else! The look on his face was apparently priceless!

Mel

whats a cable tie?

A piece of plastic with ridges at one and and a hole like clasp at the other, used to tie round cables, you insert the ridged end into the hole. Once tied must be cut loose, extremely cheap and in plentiful supply around Electronic engineers!

Mel

do they use them on tv now instead of handcuffs?

if so then i think i know what you mean

Probably not but.....

I'm sure you've seen them, you must have!

Mel

yep, i have, thanks for the link.....and that is what they use as handcuffs.
.........totally unpickable!

Cool, I'm going to have to tell Ed that, he's always had a thing about cable ties, now that they are used as handcuffs we can tease him even more!

Mel

Just checking in

looks like we'll never find out the sordid details now

Having said that, now that he's left, Peta can start spreading the gossip around without danger of being sacked

I wonder if Mark will have more fun in Africa
than he had here. I here that Africa's plains
are the site of a lot of wild life.

I'm sure someone will get the gossip and bring it here!
