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

So, umm, Roy, what the blazes did you think my name was supposed to be a reference to?

I'd never picked up on that, , .
I guess it depended on how effective Gan's limiter was at the time, or how much adrenalin and soma Villa had drunk
Was Avalon's other name 'project'?

I can't help but think "that's the name they're paying for."

Oh for a quote button.

'So, umm, Roy, what the blazes did you think my name was supposed to be a reference to?'

I hadn't really given it much thought! I've no idea what Fizzymouse, 2legs or Magwitch are referencing either: they're just online names, much as Roymondo is of no real relevance to a chap called Dave. I now know the relevance of KerrAvon and it's rather cool.

Have you been hanging out on Outpost Gallifrey? Only you're moaning about quote and edit buttons, which is how I feel coming back here!

Nah, not Outpost Gallifery: I'm registered there but am not quite geeky enough to join in!

The quote and edit thing is down to spending a lot of time on the Glastonbury forums. Once you've sampled the way EVERY OTHER FORUM ON THE INTERNET deals with quotes and edits h2g2 does seem a tad anachronistic. But anachronism is part of h2g2's charm. It's still bleedin' irritating though!

It's Dayna Mellanby, isn't it?

Damn, yes, it is, well remembered that man. Braincell killing be my defence.

I would say that you two should get out more, but my presence in this thread would shine a big 'Oi! Hypocrite' light at me.

I have been out more. Mostly tonight - that's why I can't remember Dayna's surname!

Good call Jim Lynn.

And her dad (Hal wasn't it) was Geordie LaForge

Actually, he was Lt Green from Captain Scarlet, played by Cy Grant - a pioneer in black entertainers on British TV, fact-fans!

Well i would think most people would have heard of Nero but The scabbard is worth 10 of the sword said Merlin is a very obscure quote.

P.S.Blakes 7 there is a convention next april celebrating Terry Nation with Paul Darrow as the host

Ooh I had a major crush on Paul Darrow back in the day...and then he appear in an American Express advert and looked so old
