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

*in her own personally scratchy-ish handwriting...*

Happy Birthday DD!!

...see you in London soon..

*taps her pen for a little while trying to think of anything witty she could write...then decides it's best left to the experts.. *

*wonders if the allusion to experts should really have *him* replying next... But....*

Happy Birthday DD!!

...see you in London soon..

*wonders slightly if he isn't having a deja vu about that... *

Nah...

Anyway... all the best... Have a nice day...

*tries to think up something witty*

Happy Birthday me!!!

....see you guys in London soon.

*Still lost for the witty comment*

Ah well maybe the expert will appear later.

Here expert, expert......here expert, expert....

perhaps it's like what they say about buses? that you spend ages waiting for one & then 3 turn up at once..

Like the shorter name E.

*laughs* Never seen that happen with buses... I always spend ages waiting for one of them... and have to walk in the end...

Hm... and E's shorter name reminded me of something... the campaign's over?

*smiles* I suppose it is...

Well... in that case... I should change my name back...

*grins* That was the first time I added something to it... Well... and it's a little pointless to keep it now...

Actually... I'd wanted to be the only person on the h2g2 who never had any comment after his name...

..but I couldn't resist in that case...

I'm shortening my name in stages...it seemed too drastic to do it all at once..

..and PP...I'm touched you thought me a worthy cause..

*smiles* Well....if that wasn't a worthy cause.... there would be *no* worthy cause at all....

*smiles* But... I admit that I was a little quick to do away with it...

*smiles* Couldn't do it in stages... Because.... well.... as I said.... the only worthy cause might have tempted me to put something.... well... which shouldn't be there....

*smiles* If you know what I mean.... I think you do...

...but DD might not... I always wonder how you understand me when I say only half of what I want to say....

sometimes i wonder how *I* understand you...even when i know the other 1/2....

..and yes..even this time, i know what you mean.. ....and...well....you can put anything you want there..

*smiles* Yes... sometimes I definitely say even less than half of what I want to say....

*smiles* But.... I'm sure that you *do* understand....

*smiles* And...... you shouldn't say I could put anything I wanted there.... unless you really wanted me to....

*smiles* Because.... well.... it's too tempting....

*smiles* And.... it would mean I could forget about my principle of never putting anything in brackets after my name...

*smiles* Of course.... it would be for the only worthy cause there is...

You're right...i *do* understand you...

and...i mean it...you can put whatever you want on your homepage...

honestly...

*smiles* Are you sure?....

And.... I think we were talking about putting something after my name, in brackets... and not on my homepage...

Well, so I suppose what I put after my name will appear on my homepage...

still... what I put on my homepage won't appear in every single forum I'm in....

*smiles* So.... I'm still wondering if you're sure you know what you're saying....

Can I put whatever I want after my name? Perhaps some 8 words.... Which you won't guess anyway, so you won't know what they are unless you agree... and then... the rest of h2g2 will know what they are, too....

*smiles* It's too tempting to do it right now.... but... you said I could put what I wanted on my homepage....

...I want to be sure you know what you're talking about....

Pavel...I trust you to put *whatever* you want to put in brackets after your name...

anything...absolutely anything...

*smiles* OK then....

*smiles a bit more.... then even more.... *

If you say so....

*smiles* OK.... I said it would be 8 words.... Here they go... one moment....

*grins* OK.... Changed it...

*smiles* And.... at least for those who read this forum... it pretty much gives it away....

*smiles* Not that they couldn't just go to my homepage & open any of the forums I've recently posted to....

*smiles* I wonder if that's what you meant....

If not... well.... it's too late....

awwwwh...

*smiles*

you really shouldn't worry about doing things so much...

*smiles* You know.... I'm glad you say that....

...only..... I can't worry less... I'm just a worrying kind of person....

*smiles* At least about things like that.....

*smiles* Well, I hope I'll be able to stop myself from asking you if I could do every single thing on Tuesday....

*smiles*

Don't ask me...asking wastes time when i'd just say yes anyway!!!

*smiles* OK....

Then again..... You're so sweet when you say yes..... *smiles* I wouldn't want to miss that.....

*smiles* So I might end up asking, after all....

*smiles*
