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

If you wish to be met outside Southampton Central station, please say here. Also list what time you will be arriving, from where, if possible, the train company that you will be travelling with, and describe how I will recognise you. Cheers!

<BB<

Er, I wish to be met, I guess.

You'll recognise me because er, I look like Big Mad Mr T...

Don't know any more details than that! But I want to look involved.

Okay - well, if you could let me know roughly when you'll be arriving...?
Preferably on the 23rd.

<BB<

I will, you know me, but I can't give details yet. But I will.

Right. I am going to have to be extremely vague about this.

You might remember I had an orchestra rehearsal on the sunday. It got moved (yay!)

Trouble is, choir has seen that there is a free day and nabbed it for another rehearsal ().

But, I may not have to go as I am not going on tour or able to make the concert we are rehearsing for. Plus I'm leaving soon. So I might be able to get out of it. (yay!)

So, I am going to have to say I might be there, I might not. So if I'm not at the station by, say, 1430 (if that's okay, BB, tell me before friday if it's not) I can't come.

More complications- I'm only online this morning (tues) and friday morning so I can't pick up any messages after that. I'm so sorry I'm being so awkward!

Anyway, I'm hoping desperately that I can come, but don't hold your
breath!

Love and hugs to you all,

Ah. The awkward thing is that, for me, something has come up, and I am unlikely to be in Southampton on Sunday morning. (Its my friend Daniel's 22nd birthday, you see.) So, when I am going to return to Southampton, I do not actually know - depending as it does on whether I can convince someone to give me a lift to Cowes on the Sunday, and what ferry I catch.
I hope to be there, but I cannot guaruntee I can be there by 3. I can try to convince the Fish to meet you, hopefully, but he has flexible timekeeping, alas...

<BB<

i will be getting the train (if i go) and so if it's a case of you dont know where the library is, we could meet at the station

it is pretty likely that i can go

unfortualtely i wont be on the internet again until sunday morning, but if you say what time your train gets in and where you'll be and what you look like etc, i'll read it on sunday morning and wont need to reply cos it'll all be ok (is this making any sense?)

if you have a mobile phone (if you want to ) you can email me at [email protected] and give me your number (then i'll text you with mine)

hope to see you there!

This is going to be interesting, n'est pas??

For anybody who is coming to the station, I will get to Southampton Station at either 1424 or 1351 (train times and lateness etc allowing), and (hopefully) be wearing white sparkly fairy wings and waiting on platform 1.
Lizzie has my mobile number (but I can't give it out over here coz of the mods)(fair enough).

But, I don't have a clue about Southampton. I don't know where the library is, or the pub. But I'm sure we'll muddle through.

See you all soon,

VIPx

Hello.
Sorry I didn't meet you by the station, but we met in the end, which is what matters.
