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

*chuckles* That is true.

I will agree however, that it is amusing how Bradbury won the gold. I was watching it. Both his qualifiers and the actual event were won because he was so far back in the pack that he could avoid the crashes *G* That takes skill.

I prefer to call it tactics

Hey Loony, i saw lord of the rings finally. I worked out why it was filmed in nz: because they didn't have to use any prosthetics/ makeup for the orcs. rumour has it they all come from a small town about half an hour from where you live

Only one month to the Meet!!!

Yippee!

Linus, talking about (d)orks, I see - going by his loutish performance at the Bafta Awards - New Zealand's Russell Crowe has turned into a fully-paid-up, card-carrying Ocker.

See Loony - even kiwis can improve!!

*orders one rim-shot for Feisor. The drum type rim-shot. Yano, du-dun-chi?*

Meet - I think i should be able to make it.....yippee!!

Senamon - huh? I think that i'm just glad that i have never been subjected to that torture

Excellent.....a sydney meet. I've been listening to the people talking about the scottish one, and was very sad.......

But now, yay!!

Great to hear that you can make it!! The last one we had was quite small - but it was great fun - Platypus wrote a report about it at <./> A640162 </.>

Should we warn the pub to order in more red wine??

Heh heh heh....

oh, and don't forget to remind them to order in more PGGB!!

Hi Shrillian!

I've added your name to the list - I'm assuming you're from NSW

Hey Cafram!

Yes, i'm from NSW - good old sydney...home of the Olympic P**s-up.



Looking forward to the meet. Who chose the place? Looked it up on citysearch....(thank goodness for the net!).....a bit of a backwater in newtown.....or is my map incorrect?!?!?

It's actually withing staggering distance of Newtown station.

I'm meeting Cheesecake at Central station if that's any help.

As long as I can stagger safely, I won't have a problem ^.^ Note: Must remember towel *G*

Yes, towel is essential.....

i've got an idea of where the pub is from the map, and anyway, i'm going to be driving there (in my little bomb of a car), so it shouldn't be too bad - which is annoying too, as i cannot have many many and get

I don't know which direction you are coming from but i can probably help you with directions. a good idea to avoid king st for starters...

Yeah - and avoid Lebanese taxi drivers - the last one that got me to the pub gave me a (mis)giuded tour of the back streets

Last time we identified ourselves by carrying a HHGTTg book, CD etc - but I had my towel too

Don't forget that you are all sworn to secrecy re my identity - and yes, I've still got my bag

A HHGTTG book or whatnot? Erk. Unfortunately when I left the parental cradle I had to leave all of my HHGTTG behind *whimpers* I've got The Meaning of Liff but...I might have to bring that instead....Or maybe subject the world to the horrors of Dirk Gently *snickers*

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!..........Not Dirk Gently!!

How could you do that to anyone??!!

So basically, anything possible related to HHGTTG??....that sounds good....but i'll definitely (try and remember to) bring a towel.
