Christ knows what I'll wear, but I will have clothes on, you can bet on it. I don't want another arrest for Indecent exposure! (only kidding, they couldn't catch me last time, Mwoahahahahahahaha)
Should any young children or parents of young children read this, the above is complete fabrication, except for the part about wearing clothes.
Signed Mr. J Weatherly, Solicitor to Babel-17.

The t-shirt arrived! The t-shirt arrived! 
So at least one of us will be identifiable... unless it's raining, of course, in which case I'll be the one in the bin liners.
I'll answer your e-mail when I've had a chance to think.

While stocks last, fingers crossed, wind in the right direction...

Well my order went in about 4 hours ago and I took the express delivery option, so I'm keeping everything crossed...... wooooaaaahhh...
CLUNK!
Guess what, I fell off my seat

So what will we all wear when we meet in the horizontal rain and nobody can see our h2g2 T-shirts for our wet weather gear?

Towwels of course. We're researchers for crying out loud.

Babel17 Posted Aug 1, 2000
Well, yes towels obviously, but armbands if it gets to floating stage

That would be some rainstorm. I only hope one of us would survive and write it up for the Post.

I know! We'll all wear scuba gear. That way, we'll recognise each other, and we won't drown...
Then again...

It's all relative, of course... After the pub we can achieve the same effect with vertical rain and horizontal researchers...

Nobody drowned in Hyde Park... although it was a pretty close thing.

I still can't take a shower on full power.

I thought I could smell something.

And I can take a Medium too, 'cos my t-shirt just arrived not 1 hour ago , except they underpaid the postage and it cost me another
4 quid 
. One email going off at 11am (can't now, got a hair appointment at 9am) I don't know, you pay for fast delivery, but they forgot to pay the postage!
