A Conversation for The Official h2g2 Winter 2002 Party
Campaign for Real Time
Tube - the being being back for the time being Started conversation Oct 15, 2001
I hereby start the H2G2 Campaign for Real Time.
The purpose of the campaign is to stamp out time travelling and its consequences.
There shall be no more sentences like
"This year [i.e. 2001] the party is going to be held on Saturday January 26, 2002."
Come on! Join the Chorus!
"REAL TIME! REAL TIME! ..."

Me, make a grammatical error? Never! Everyone knows that us Italics are super-human - it's totally impossible that we ever make any mistooks whatsoever.
Okay, you caught me Tube. I've corrected it now. I guess I owe you a beer then?

So are you all coming to the party then? I'll see what I can do! Of course the BBC budget is supposed to be spent on nice nutritious sandwiches, not pints. Do you think they'll notice?

I didn't really intend to debase the Italic's Super Hero Status.
But I'll accept the anyway Thanks! 
Beer's nutrious. Couts as "liquid bread" in southern Germany. . And I don't think the BBC'll notice. Not unless you give them a hint in, say, a public forum

Just teasing you Tube.
The BBC might notice? Well maybe, but I don't think that they check the corners of h2g2 too often. I guess this is one way to find out, eh?

They give me a budget Tube, not a blank cheque! Now that is a shame isn't it? I wonder, nah....

Don't you call me a "budget Tube"... 
I'm an expensive premium Tube 
There's a budget for entertaining and running around with resserchers in RL?

Sure is. The coolest one was when we got sent to Miami. We just *had* to hire a gold convertable. An essential community tool that was.

Most certainly! An unforgiveable error not to have supplied you with one straight away! Makes you wonder what the BBC "employee travel service and community communication tool supply" department is doing all day long.

It'd be nice to have one to come to work in too. Maybe I should ask. Maybe not!
The BBC have been very good about taking on the party thing though. They didn't know about the real time event budgets thing when they bought us! Still they've taken it in good grace and paid for the last Summer meeting. So to them!

Can we not sneak a free bar out of them, by calling it somthing they won't recognise? like Hmm, entertainment?
