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

I have been woefully derelict in posting to this establishment for many years. There must be many members who haven't been around for, maybe since 2003. Are you out there? And what are you doing? For me, I've learned how to drive, sing and identify waders. (Avian waders that is.)Hope you are all well.

heh i'm well...I ain't been doing anything new(apart from of corse joining this) sooo.... anything new happen latley??

I have just rejoined, again, I first joined in 2003, came back for a while in 2005, and thought I'd stop in now!

I'm very upset that I can't remember my original password or member name and also that my favourite thread 'entirely without spoken words' appears to have disappeared - or can you help me find it??

Anyhow... Hi!

And since first joining, I've been to Uni, graduated, and taken a travelling gap year... but the H2G2 love remains :D

i used to post on Collective mainly, but after havin full web acces at work denied ....and findin out there is no more collective, i thought i would check this one out

Seems like Spike has done a runner.

"My favourite thread 'entirely without spoken words' appears to have disappeared - or can you help me find it?"

Do you know which forum it was in? <./>Askh2g2</.> or <./>MiscChat</.>, perhaps? I recall seeing that thread somewhere, a good while ago. It was a good long one, with many participants, so if you asked at F19585?thread=612457 you'd probably get an answer.

TRiG.

Thank you!! Will try that

Spike cannot run nor hide but is glad that so many hitchers have come home.

Hello Spike! You still around?

UG

Yup still here (just). Fell off my bike the other day leaving me with a cracked rib and badly bruised ego.

Oh Spike!

Apart from that - is life treating you well?

Life is good. I love the idea of a Universal Granny! My step-sister recently produced a beautiful baby boy so I am now a 'stuncle' and Mum calls herself 'scranny'.

Up until this July, all my grandchildren were at the same infant/junior school (eldest one moves on this year), and I often go and help out at fairs, fetes, cake sales etc. All the staff and most of the children address me as "Granny". I love it! I am not too comfortable with a small tot, who doesn't know me at all, calling me by my first name, but........Granny - that's perfect!

I love Stuncle and Scranny - will you get to see your stephew often?

My stephew's parents are currently settling in to a new house, but its not too far away so I hope they'll pop round some time. Doing fetes and cakes is exhausting (I've done it) where do you get the energy?

I'm afraid that if I "stop" I'll die - so I would call it incentive rather than energy!!

UG

Welcome back Spike!

And let us too add our own warm welcome back salutation Spike!

Spike..........?

Yup... still here. Survived the snow, doing a lot of singing pre-xmas (everyone should join a choir)to keep warm.
