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

Should be - no-one comes out this way much, and the few who do are trustworthy. If we majke sure it's off the beach where the tide won't get it, and safe from the birds, it'll be fine.

<BB<

* puts the hamper behind some rocks well away from the tide line *

* walks along behind BB wondering what they will discover round the headland *

Out of curioisity, is there any sealife you don't like? Such as crabs, jellyfish, etc...?

<BB<

Well I am not so sure about 's and jelly fish, but then I have never met any!

Why?

Just curious. Honest!

<BB<

* continues to climb over the rocks with BB *

What do you know that I dont?

Boo!
jumps out from behind rocks*

Look out, there are some basking sharks over there

Hello 2Legs you made me jump!

sorry hows it going? i had to jump in, literaterlly as its some time since i was in this thread

BB and I have just been walking along the beach, we had a picknic and now we are going on this way. Its lovely realxing in the guest room, but it seems a shame not to explore the surronds!

I am doing good thanks. How about you>

I'm pretty tired, cause i have been on here till about thre or so in the morning the last few days so must get early night tonight so i can try (harder than the last few days) to manage to write up some of my thesis and do some of the research for it as well, which is pretty boaring really which is another reason, aside H2G2, i've been puting it off you are right, it would be a shame not to go along here, its quite nice; and those basking sharks as well, how its just like watching one of those wildlife programs, only better cause we are actually here:
I wonder whats further up past these rocks?

Why not walk with us a while - I am sure the exercise will make you feel better

I dont have to be up at 5.30 tomorrow so for once I am not feeling guilty for still being here at this time!

you normally have to get up at 5.30 in teh morning i never knew that for being such an early riser: what on earth do you do at that time in the morning?
my laptop just had another misshap: the control key fell off a few months ago; the up cursor key just almost went the same way but i saved it shall we continue on; you lead the way:::::

Well apart from the obvious fall into the shower and drink lots of ... I am supposed to be at work for 7 am at least three times a week (some of the people I look after do shifts) and I find it easier to do every day than 3 from 5. W**k is a long way away and the other advantage of doing the journey at that time is that it only takes 40-45 mins. If I leave half an hour later it takes twice as long. Thats going towards London for you

Still that all changes in about a month I will still get up at the same time and have a longer journey, but its away from London and too a much more exciting job

I am glad you computer was saved - that could have been bad!

* continues along the beach, climbing over the rocks *

Well missing the traffic always good, cause its such a pain: its like in Cambridge; leave at an earlier enough time and your fine, five minutes later and the journey is imposible: i don't drive so its not such a problem for me although it does mean i use the trains a lot more than i would like the computers saved for now which is the main thing; soon as my MSc finishes i am going to send it off to have a new keyboard put in; i pressume thats possible
*clambers over rocks*

I think it should be, mine has had all sorts of bits repaired along the way. I must get myself a new one organised - this one goes with the job so I only have it a little while longer

Will you get another from the new Job?

I am not sure if I will get a notebook again. The contract they have sent me is a whole A4 folder full of stuff which includes internet and computer policies and they appear to be very strict about what you can load and access from a machine they own, unlike my current employers. So I figure that it would be better to get one of my own anyway.

sounds like they went for the concise version of your contract read it carefully; who knows whats in the small print Notebooks are alright, but i don't find laptops last veyr long; the keyboard on this started going after about six months; i have a new laptop, but i don't want to confuse it for later by instaling andn seting it up for the ethernet connection here at Uni; only to try and put it back to an ordinary connection in a few months; although the keyboard does seem quite a bit stornger and more sturdy on the Toshiba compaired to this one; the toshiba is my fifth laptop in nearly four years although this time i will keep boht i have and get this (microlink PC) laptop fixed so i have two in good condition where were we? climbs over rocks and looks out to sea*

Yes, good to sea you've caught up with us, 2legs.
The next part of our journey over the rocks will take us past many rockpools, in which will be life that will fascinate David Bellamy for all time, and include all sorts of sea life. They're fascinating to see, but many people get squemish about some species of crab and jellyfish. Jellyfish are quite rare, but we are almost certain to see crabs, of one size or other.
