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

I know where I'd like to place w*rk ...

Somewhere dark and where mushrooms are grown, no doubt?

Ah! W-o-r-k.....the dreaded four-letter word! A bit like life really, but without the good bits

**

I'm going to build a fire.

*Gathers up the 's collection of and crumbles them into the fireplace. Removes all the references to w*rk and throws them in as well.*

Have you got anything else that will start a good, warm blaze?

aye.

we have had quite a lot of snow this winter, mari-rae

twice, even

and a lot of icerain on the sidewalks. many danes have broken limbs

but we are still a lot better of than the homless in eastern europe

I qualify, I don't have any home atm and I definitely live in Eastern Europe. Whatever. The water pipes in the house are still frozen, so I have to drink .

Hmmph! I am a lady and do not use a lamp-post ... neither do my offspring or ... wait for it ... their offspring - yay, I have a little lady grand puppy

all round ... if someone could just pour some in my bowl

Comisserations Gwennie - w**k is something no-one should have to do

Hati - you're not living in a cardboard box? - I thought my kennel was bad enough.

We have no ice, nor snow, just a little bit of Jack Frost - my sympathies to all you northerners - warm with both paws

Congratulations, Grandma Shirps!

Here's a for the new one. It is four little knitted booties and a knitted cap with the h2g2 logo, of course.

Aaaaah mari! Thank you so much, they are so pretty - I'll make sure she gets them - I'll email them to her - one of the next generation of hootooers?

"hootooers - the next generation"

... starts scribbling notes ... ".. is it an or a Vulcan? No. It's a human baby ..."

These are the continuing voyages of the Starship H2G2 Rather Angry Dolphin, Captain Shirps commanding.

We had been told to patrol the Nebulous Sector, and observe the in-fighting between the Neo-Vikings and the Romulans. As usual the Neo-Vikings were using their LongStarships to good effect, causing panic amongst the Romulans and waving their axes in all directions.

I was looking longingly at Bones, who for some reason was trying to stand as far away from me as he could, when Scotty, the Chief Engineer rushed onto the bridge. He was holding a wriggling, gurgling bundle - the latest addition to my family. "I cannae hold this bairn, Cap'n! It's the nappy! It cannae hold any more! It's goin' to blow!"

.... can't wait for the next instalment

Did anyone realise that in a certain other bar they have installed a flap in the door especially for me to go in & out at my convenience? ...

That was really delicious ... hint

Ah, well! Sacrifices must be made...here is the last of the Veronese (Palazzo del la Torre) cute ....I'll just go out and buy some more!

Sacrifice? Well, if you think like that

Don't you reckon I am a rather hard working &, as you say, cute pooch? Aren't I worth it?

for the good quality very much appreciated

OK, dearest , I have just bought six bottles of very nice Italian . An assortment, which I will open as the cute needs them!!

Gentle hugs from someone who will never have grandpups........ Yup, the family line expires with me.............

you are not alone, my father's line ends with my nephew - who will never have pups either

Thought about cloning yourself?

Well thankee kind sirrah ... curtseys ... a true gentleman ... I am truly enjoying the choicest

!

I discovered recently that our new law about names allowes me to have my grandmother's maiden name (or mother's) if I want to. To carry on the name, is the reason. That sounds kinda tempting. I may even consider it, I mean having my ex'es name gets boring and I have lived long enough with my own maiden name as well and anyway, that sounds like fun.

what names can you chose between then?
