A Conversation for H2G2 Waterworks: The Beach
Here comes Summer
I'm not really here Posted Sep 6, 2001
I made it myself Bumblebee™. Would you like one? I can't make one exactly the same of course, but I'm sure I can sort something out! 
Here comes Summer
Bumblebee Posted Sep 6, 2001
That, wouldn't surprise me at all!
*Looks hard at handbag who's trying to look innocent making "who, me?" gestures with his handles.*
You behave or I'll sit on you!
Actually I think he's too stupid to make any deals with anybody. Just give him something good to eat and he will happily trade anything with you! Mind you, what he considers 'good eating' may vary from what's normally considered 'good eating'...

Oops, didn't see you there, Mina!
I would be delighted if you would make me one of those unique bikinis! Just name your price!
I have been thinking something in gold lamé and pink!
I tried to go to the Frilly Nickers shop but they haven't got any bathing costumes, appearently.
Here, I'll write down my mesures on a note.
*Hands Mina the note.* This is between you and me, ok?

Of course, I won't say a word. You do realise it'll be in rubber though? Or I could do leather, PVC or latex. Take your pick!

Bluebottle Posted Sep 6, 2001
What a range you do - I'm impressed!
I'm almost tempted to ask for one myself
<BB<

Bumblebee Posted Sep 6, 2001
*takes a double look at Bluebottle* 
Mina, whatever controls unruly bodyparts best...
Here comes Summer
Bluebottle Posted Sep 6, 2001
On second thoughts, Bumblebee, I think you might be right
<BB<

I'll make it a mixture of all parts!
And I think BB would look strangely beautiful in a rubber bikini.

MaW Posted Sep 6, 2001
I don't.
Have you read my column yet? http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/thepost - come on, come on!!!!
In the mean time, Mina, do you do swimming trunks?
Here comes Summer
MaW Posted Sep 6, 2001
By the way, BB, why not have a competition that the men can compete in without looking utterly daft? I think there should be a towel competition. What do you think to that, hmm?
Oh yes, my sister FABT thinks the same way I do.
Here comes Summer
I'm not really here Posted Sep 6, 2001
I'll do you in trunks if you like MaW.
And I read it already! Deary me, want want want!
Here comes Summer
Chris Tonks Posted Sep 6, 2001
Hey, read your column, MaW! Great stuff! 
I'll certainly recommend it in my column next week.

*Somehow is reminded to apply sunscreen*
*Sulking handbag refuses to do her back*
Oh, come on! 
Here comes Summer
Chris Tonks Posted Sep 7, 2001
Here, try this.
*One of the Professor's remote probes the size of a fly heads over to Bumblebee, extends some robot arms and offers to take the sunscreen bottle.*
Here comes Summer
Bumblebee Posted Sep 7, 2001
Ah, the cavalery arrives at last!
Thanks Prof, you're a gem!
Here comes Summer
Chris Tonks Posted Sep 7, 2001
*The tiny probe begins doing what the handbag was supposed to do.*
Here comes Summer
Bluebottle Posted Sep 7, 2001
*Sulks as no-one read his column in the post.*
There were various other competitions which were supposed to be annual, such as the PETA awards, but they seem to have fizzled out.

Bluebottle Posted Sep 7, 2001
Yep, PETAs. See:

But they weren't awarded to H2G2 People, only celebs.
