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

I know the feeling, I have a folder called "other" which seems to attarct the oddest of links! (especially its subfloder called "random"!) I may create one called "stuff" as I dont have one!

good plan. I may have that last slice of pizza that is looking at me from Its plate on tthe top of the microwave.... if only to stop it staring...

and an update on the book situation (for anyone who cares, skip this bit if you don't), I went out with mum yesterday, into Oxford, and got "the Bromeliad" by Terry Pratchett,which I finished this morning. It is the trilogy of "Truckers", "Diggers" and "Wings". I also got a book which I hadnt heard of bbefore, somewhat shorter than the Bromeliad, called "Basilisk" by (mysteriously) N. M. Browne.

I've got a few books waiting to be read, some work for the course I did before christmas waiting to be finished, some other work from ages and ages ago to do and more housework todo too but I'm bored the 'random' folder sounds good I might have to have one of those

What's happening?

I've not been up that long got up really rather late actually, about 10 should have gotten up early, I'll need to be up early tomorrow I've so far drunk lots of coffee must do some work today... honest

I was meant to go to bed a while ago, but then Trin came online so I chatted to him, and then I got distracted by a website and now it's getting on for 1am

I'm trying to decide whether to wake up early for a radio interview with a man who's written a book about slowness as an antidote to the speed cult.

8.30am doesn't seem reasonable though.

I'll have to get up by* 8 AM tomorrow to get ready to catch the train at 9.17 to go off to a day of drinking in pubs all over East Anglia with a friend and some of his mates, just because.... because.... we like drinking and its an excuess for me to meet up with the friend I've not seen since before Christmas

Ah, you've got a few hours before you have to go to bed though.

I missed the interview. Why do they put the best things on early on Sat morning?

quiet on here at the moment/tonight I need to go pack a few things soon.... at some point.... I should relaly just log off and go do that work ... maybe....

There's a few people online though. I wonder what they are all doing?

I often wonder about that; if you look at some of their personal spaces, some haven't posted in hours and hours, but others are posting... very odd....

>> I should relaly just log off and go do that work<<

Lucky you're not here then because Hotel California is playing on the radio...

But I am here, arn't I? I think, or am I there? or there? or oer there?

I think you are definitely o'er there.

Although given the radio here is 13 hours ahead of you...

True; but I guess* I could if I wanted listen to it over he net, as i'm on Broadband I'm litening to BBC radio four at the moment, I listen to it most of the time

oh yeah, I didn't think of that.

What's on Radio4?

Some discussion about something at the moment I'm not sure relaly, I'm only kind of half listening, its background noise most of the time hang on I could go check what it is

>>This weekend Spaniards vote on the EU constitution, the first country to do so.  We ask why a  YES vote seems certain when hardly anyone knows anything about the constitution?

And what is the UK government doing to inform the people ahead of the referendum here?

Are Londoners enthusiastic enough about hosting the Olympics?
<<

I can see why you're not really paying attention. Why would anyone think that people would want to listen to that on a Friday evening?

Sad farts like me who ain't out in the pub on a Friday night probably enjoy listenign to it Actually most of the stuff they were talking about has been covered so much recently that it was all really boring though it gave me a chance to yell at a few idiots on the radio Not all the programming on BBC radio four is quite so dull mind Just started, is 'off the page' I think, not sure what its about yet, I just ifnfished hearing the news nothing new there relaly

I don't know off the page - is that a comedy?

It's midday here and they've let the policitians on the radio. I've had to turn it off. Luckily it's only on for half and hour though.
