Now that I'm officially addicted to H2G2, one has to wonder exactly who are the servers and who are the served.
(Should one of those whos have been a whom? See how bad it's getting? Rescue me, somebody. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!!!)

Wow. H2G2 is (are?) so supportive. Thank you so much. I'd been looking for my mummy for years, since she ran off with an imaginary Viking (she liked his horny helmet, apparently). For a moment I thought it might be the wrong one, but then I recognised my favourite piece of peeling bandage (third peel up, outside left foot). My search is over.

Does that mean there will be no problems with the servers for a whole week?

*clutches head* Oh gawd, vikings, vikings....i am mummy to a viking it seems & he has now mystically infiltrated the hamster sanctuary.
So, do we set up a support group for coping with h2g2 deprivation or would it be more positive to start breeding genetically modified hamsters?
meanwhile, here is one they worked to death earlier.
