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

Can`t be doin` with this 007 tag, Legers old chap, too much of a mouthful on an empty stomach.
Questers? Hmmm, maybe Whatters ?...p`raps not..could be mistaken for lisp... Whatever..welcome aboard , and all that tosh...I`ll put you on the list for the vintage McLurchers at Christmas, if I can remember, that is.
Bridge? Prefer an hour on the putting green meself..but to each his own.. Haaaruuuumph

I say, this is smashing news Chaps! I'm honored to be in the fold, rather. Questers will do nicely Inkers, old chum ... ehm, and thanks awfully for the recco. Dodgers might also be a good choice, but, I'd prefer not to disturb Dickens ghost, may the old boy rest in peace.

Do hope you'll excuse me for just half a mo,' I simply must attend to a spot of bother.

Servants revolting again old chap ?

..... nearly forgot, dashed memory isn't what it was.

New Chaps (and chapesses) need to write a short Bio and post it on a new thread. All ours are up there already at A685983. Looking forward to a grand departure from the world of reality

What's that supposed to be, bluidy homework? There won't be any ink, service being what it is these days, meaning rotten. There won't be any drink! I s'pose the fire hasn't been lighted either! *retiring to library grumbling horribly*

I say Redders.... I resemble that remark about the card-shark....

Huuurrruuummmpppphhhh

Chaps, had to nip out to view a rather good film at the cinema theatre. Do see it if you can at all. The name of the film in question is "The Mystic Masseur." It is all about our fine place in the sun, Trinidad.

Tally ho!

Sounds like one of those films that you'd see on this new-fangled internet thingie ~ on what I've heard referred to as a left-handed-web-site.

Harrruuummmppphhh {wipes spittle from mustache}

It sounds fishy. Some Dago nonsense most likely. *snort*

The only Black and White, non-sensical gobbledy-gook that I can bear is the Times Crossword ... talking of which ...

7 Down: Smells like a small brassica has exploded under the influence, possibly?

8 letters, third letter Q, assuming that "Piquant" is right ...

Only read the Letters page old chap - just to see if my latest rant has made it in the Thunderer if you get my drift.

I also believe Inkers has been known to grab a swift 40 winks underneath the crossword page on occassion what !

my dear lady delicious, i'm quite shocked by your inapproriate choice of words in such distinguished and discerning company. how very disingenious of you to toss in what is not even a farthing's worth and then retreating in such an awkward manner. come now, we must not disappoint our fellows here, what?

questers

What ho questers - well said....



Bassers

That's Pospy for you, old fruit ... daft as a basket full of badgers ...

Ganging up on me, are you ... gentlemen? (manner of speech)

That's terribly sporting of you old stick

i beg you pardon, but, i'm not at all certain i read that right, d? did i now, eh? you best amongst the lot of us, I should think, might be the last to pick such a line of defence. i am simply appalled that you should stoop so, old girl...

Q

*thinks briefly about shoutng Order ! Order ! at the top of his lungs, decides against it and goes back to thinking about serving wenches and ale*

Not stooping, Questers old bean, sitting quite comfortably in my armchair by the fire, thank you, from where i'm not defending, but attacking, long as i don't have to get up to do it.

what a spot of bother ... too tiresome by far. <>
