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

Go on then ya hungover lot, tell me what you got up to

Hmmmm.. I wrote a really long reply to this post just a few moments ago, but then the server here decide to drop dead.
I'm currently at the EasyEverything web cafe in Edinburgh, ad I was dropped off here by Demon Drawer, Fashion Cat and one of Fashion Cat's friends, who is yet to register here.

The day and evening was quite enjoyable, even though we lost Tweetie and Crescent on the way, due to my mobile phone showing me it was fully recharged last night, and when I got to Edinburgh today, it was almost drained again. I'm gonna have to have a look at my charger when I get back home.

Anyways, after waiting at the Scott monument until about 3:10pm, the crowd that was there at the time decided to move on, so we relocated ourselves to a web cafe a couple of blocks away. After some refreshments there, we relocated, once again, this time to a bar (I think it was called the "Standing Order" or something) where we then spent the night. I was officially declared the barmaid's worst nightmare, since I came to the bar for three rounds of drinks, ordering about 10 drinks each time. I now regret that I didn't give her any tips.
Anyhow, that's where we stayed til people started removing themselves from the crowd to go home. Since I missed my last train home, I decided to go to this web cafe, which apparently is open 24/7. So I will stay here til my train home departs tomorrow morning.

That's a breif report on the evening.
A complete log of events worth mentioning will be posted eventually, by Demon Drawer.

That's assuming DD regains the ability to read.
I had a great time, I'm sure everyone else did too - the first pictorial evidence is up now at http://www.acp.freewire.co.uk/h2g2/

Damn it all to hell!!! I really wish I'd made it now having seen the piccies, you look like a real nice normal bunch of folks. And it looks like you all had a good time.

Ah well.

Can I stop beating myself up now?

Normal? Us? How dare you?

NORMAL??? I really dont think you saw the right photos!

It was too dark in there and too many sweaty men for me to write straight, sorry.

I'll try to get to the next one, but from DD's description I'm happy that on this occasion I was playing golf in Dunblane.

Weatherwax, I was just instructed to keep a full and truthful log of event's I'll try and recall some of the conversation later.

I maybe should mention the book reading that went on.

oooo Matron.... nope. sex_kitten does it far better....

And as for the Swedish book reading, well...

Well that was a unique experience.

And not forgetting Kenneth Williams raising the Titanic.

definitely an experience!!! though i'm so proud i didnt drop those drinks!!!!

And I'm proud to be one of the elite few who didn't spill anything.

Book reading, ya bum, to use a Scottish expression.
I'm definitely coming to the next one!

Did anyone left at the end ie Lost, Peet or Uncle find FC's camera.
