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

*pulls nose out of the latest Harry Potter adventure*

hello and welcome to h2g2. We are glad to have you with us. This is the thread where you can meet other researchers old and new and ask about anything you want.

The kettles on so make yourself at home

Cake, anyone? Sandwiches? Albatross?

I’m Researcher 143346

If you want to be my pal, call me ZOE

Buzz me

Hang on to your towel and enjoy the ride!!

PS: Tnx for the reminder Aby

I brought my mug (a humungus one)
You know it is the next best thing to a towel to have with you.
Hope you got coffee I'm addicted to it.

Donuts? rescued from the whatever it is in the hydrogen at the donut stall?

Fantastic - I shall make a fresh pot!

We should get some more newbies in here! What we are planning to do is get the italics in to explain their jobs and have a cuppa of course!

*fills Zoe's mug with incredibly strong coffee* How's that?

Good idea

But I'm sure you're bold italics...

*DD brings in his deckchair and a good novel*

Ah, the joys of being on Annual Leave from by public duty. Hiya Zoe, I see it's the usual crowd around here, has the kettle boiled for my imminent arrival.

Hello all,

I have been reading the acres of newsprint about H***y P****r wondering what the attraction was & at last, thanks to Abi, I know. You get a free nose with every book huh? Cool! I'll have a large cappucino please.

choccie topping?

What??? Abi's still here.

Oh, there you are hidding under me in the who's online window.

*Starts to make a fresh pot of tea*

Hi Lemmyhead I'll let Abi sort out your coffee.

Thanks for the warm greeting, Abi... ironic though, that one whose name is short, succinct, and to-the-point should be my door greet

...umm ... before I waste alot of time doing a statistical analysis of subject threads... is the Quest For The Blue Fish an official sub-culture here?

I'm confused. What is this forum actually for? Other than offering people digital food items? I was invited here but have no idea what I should say. Apologies...

Hi Jamie - this is a forum where you can come and chat and get to know some of the other researchers... and what better way to do that than over a nice, strong cup of tea?

Oh...well, that's nice. But it's night where I am so I'd rather a whiskey if it doesn't put anyone out!
This isn't much like the guide in the books is it...

*passes Jamie a whiskey* There you go, don't tell anyone...
The basic idea is the same as the Guide in the books, it's a kind of electronic encyclopaedia... the only problem is that you can't carry it around with you unless you have a WAP phone. It does, however, have "Don't panic" in friendly letters on the front page...

Digital Food Items. I like that. It reads like something that should be in hot-pink neon lights, flashing in the storefront window of an internet-cafe somewhere.

Well whiskey is my speciality.

*pours*

|_| there you go.

So Jamie what sort of Whiskey do you normally drink?

Black Label, naturally! He he! But I'm not averse to Famous Grouse if funds are tight!
So, are you all guide veterans or what? Any importnat stuff I should know, other than the stuff about submitting entries which I've read to death?
