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

All this talk of has made me thirsty

So I've just whipped the top off of a Mac's Copperhop ~ and it's deeeeeeeeelicious, especially when it loses a bit of the fizz ~ why are antipodean ales so ing gassy????

Allegedly working, Linus. I had a colleague called Pterry who used to do that, he'd wander around with a piece of paper all day, but he had a refinement - he *Looked Worried* as he wandered around the building... His name was Pterry, because it was short for Pterodactyl, then he wetn and joined the Pterritorials, which was just perfect!

ah yes. the 'looked worried' is good. If you can manage to ask a few questions so much the better and if you can ask a question that can't be answered and then tell them that you can't go any further until they get an answer then you have just struck the jackpot

All of this was fairly easily achieved as i was working as a consultant on a new and rather large financial application package.

I managed to drink DeBretts dry of Black Macs while i was there, so you can't say i wasn't productive

*Leaps over backlog....

Happy New Year everyone!!

Hope you all had heaps of and and can remember at least some of the night




(tell me I'm not the only one still doing this...)

Don't you mean Shirley

Hi, Jesi - and to all, a Happy New year! I have reasonably clear memories of the Datsuns and Pepsi Countdown..
I take it all back (well, most of it) It's ny and hot! 26*c, according to the Herald. You know what the Yanquis say - it's not the heat, it's the humidity!

I was given the Datsuns cd for xmas

Not bad! I have decided I actually like Bic Runga (I'd never properly listened before.) I especially like that one where she's walking down Cuba Street, singing about how:"I want a lawyer/I want to talk to ya"

Hi all

It seems from the posts the Auckland doesn't know what summer is. In Rotorua I've been burnt so many times that I've lost count. Now I'm a golden brown. We've just had our first rain for at least a month. A whole 15 minutes (and now it's all dry again). I spent christmas eve and christmas night in Whakatane and it was so hot I couldn't get to sleep 'till after 1am.

Cuba street! that's been bugging me for ages. I've been thing "where in welly are those buckets"

oooh...oooh the datsuns are wicked! with any luck they should be touring next year

The bucket fountain deserves to be known all around the world and be as famous as the Trevi fountain!
Uncle Heavy, when you mention the Datsuns turing, do you mean touring the UK?

watching it on a hot day* is somehow cooling









*yes I'm aware it's wellington but the principal still applies

It is the sound of nostalgia in metal... Sigh, whisper. Like the Toot'n'Whistle in Kuirau Park, or or Ringo Starr narrating Thomas the Tank Engine - or the early seasons of Dr Who...

do do do do, dodo doo, ding ding

Wellington has been hot for the past 6 days, which has to be some sort of record However it should rain tomorrow
