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

I've just read Batty's recipe - and the only thing I can say is

until recently my last post here was 2003

Now that has made my mouth water. I will have to get me some of that

I hope you have got enough for seconds

Thanks Feisor and manda.. it's my own concoction.. I also invented a couple other signature martinis but the Aztec Martini is my current favorite..

Next time I have a party you are top of the list

( Whats in the Aztec Martini )

sorry... thought I had said...

Equal parts of:
vodka
spiced brandy*

I'll often mix this and keep it in the freezer so it's and ready when you want one. Then the glass is rimmed in crushed Mexican spiked with a pinch of chipotle powder for heat..

* the brandy is made by putting cinnamon sticks, cloves and ginger root pieces in the brandy (you may need to have a good slurp of it to make room in the bottle ) and letting it sit in a relatively warm (but not hot or near fire) location for about 2 weeks.

Is the membership list still up to date ?

was it ever?

I think its up to date to within, say...1 or 2 years

.... or it will be .... eventually .....

No - I've put off updating it indefinitely. That'll be my *second* best example of procrastination. My first is that I wrote a letter to the Procrastinators Society of America asking for an application form to join up... about 15 years ago, and I haven't got around to mailing it off yet

So - filled that form in yet ?

Or am I going to have to buy my own pen ?

It's just that I'd like to start this list of things to do.

and another thread rises from the dead ....

Hello. It would seem that both this thread and I still exist. Who'd have thought it.

Filled the form out? No, I still haven't mailed off the application for application form yet Must be coming up on 15 years since I put that stamp on the envelope. I remember where I was living at the time.

Problem is, it's got a UK stamp on it but now I'm living in the US. Hmmm... it's a 30p stamp. How long has it been since the surface mail postage rate from the UK to the US was that price? And yes, the return address is the one I was thinking of so it's got to be 10-14 years ago - I lived there from early '93 to late '97.

No idea. The domestic postages rates confuse me enough these days. There's no way I'm going to remember international ones.

Nice to see this thread come back from the outer darkness, mind.

And it's also nice to see some of the names who were around at the beginning surface from time to time. I saw a post from Solnushka just last week.

Really? She was my ACE. Almost five years ago now. Dear me, now it flies.

Flies? So that explains the buzzing,
and there was me thinking it was tinnitus.
