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

Thanks, I turned on C5 to see what was on and found...

...wait for it, wait for it...

Ya beauty!

I get a great channel 5 reception, well, my arial is fourteen floors up and on a hill!

I'm mrs H V I'll have you know, also known as elsie, but never TV, I don't look good in mens suits. Too curvy. You gotta have a figure like Radclyffe Hall to get away with that sorta thing
hxx

Aha! Thought you could keep this from me did ya? Well, let me see, the 21st? That'll be directly between They Might Be Giants and me holidays across the pond. Hmm, let me check the other threads, before deciding I don't need sleep, or indeed cash, before going on holiday.

Right, I shall provisionally say that I will be there if
a) You actually advertise this to more than your dearly beloveds (cause that leaves me with Jamie 8-0)
b) You decide where it is soonish, so I can book the old travelling options.
c) It doesn't snow

I think we can manage a and b, can't promise anything for c though.
Did you say They Might Be Giants?

*Disturbed at the thought of being Munchkin's dearly beloved*

And did that boy say they might be giants, are am I going to have a munchkin to stand on my shoulders so he can see?
hxx

I did say They Might Be Giants, they are on somewhere in Nodnol on the 14th and I have a ticket, so I am told

We'll be there, god it was like "cancel everything, they might be giants are in this country!" round this house! Hxx

Watch yersel EV, she's moved in, but she's only after your suits.

What? In Nodnol? You don't want to do that! its big, scary, and has lots of blinking lights everywhere. Perhaps I can arrange to miss you, in the same way I missed Phil at the Fleadh

Nodnol has blinking lights? But.... How will I make it when I go there for the meet-up, then? I'll be like: "Oooohhh... Pretty lights!" everywhere I go.

Don't go to the light! I can't help it its so pretty!
We wouldn't go to nodnol, but they might be giants aren't going anywhere else!
hxx

Except America, and we couldn't possibly go there.
*puts blinkers on LiS to direct his attention away from the pretty lights*

No, we could, but it would be a bit sad to go all that way just for a gig. Now if they were playing somewhere I'd really want to visit like San Franciso, that would be cool!
hxx

After much soul searching and wallet wrestling I am forced to come to the conclusion that I can't afford to come up to this, what with being in Glasgow two weeks previous and then off on my hols less than a week after So that is Nodnol, Manchester AND Glasgow all doing stuff over the summer I can't go to Heigh ho said Rolly. Have fun y'all, and take loads of pictures. Oh, and don't let Jamie drink anything.

I'll look after him! But I will still see you at they might be giants won't I? That can be a mini meet!
hxx

Looks like I can't go now either. Those expletives at w**k have right royally expletived me over. We move to 12 hour shifts on 10th July.
I had that weekend free beforwe, now I will be slap bang in the middle of 4 nights of 12 hour nightshifts, and with people off on holiday, there is no way I can see, short of dying and coming along as a spectral apparition, of making it. Sorry. Life will never be the same again. Off to sulk now and a little.........

I would add an expletive here as part of my sympathy for B-17, but it would only get taken away. Have a instead. In a manly way of course.
Oh, and on TMBG, we will indeed need to arrange a miny meet. As the venue only takes 2000 (according to my source) it shouldn't be to difficult.

Dang. Sorry to hear that, B-17. This is precisely why I want to stay in academia for as long as possible. Still, I think I have a stunt Munchkin badge somewhere...
