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

I can sleep whenever I get to bed, I just don't get there early enough very often. Too much hootooing or TV goggling! Should be there right now but am here instead ah well...

I don't seem to be on here as late as I used to, I normally read for a few hours before bed now hot that I often get into bed before 2 AM, and even then it takes an hour or more most of the time before I fall asleep more than four hours a night and I'm normally alright, and I will kick in a six hour slog through evey now and then, which is balanced by the ocasional week or so at one or two or zero hours a night most I've done without sleep was three days, and I felt pretty tired after that its when I do* get sleep that I tend to feel the most tired all the time need alcohol

Well I shall say goodnight to one and all and be off to the land of nod

Nighty night! think I'll go drink some cammemile and lemon tea now and listen to the radio

Ooj, remind me why you're a member of this esteemed organisation when you live in Texas.

Cos I'm half Scouse, lived in Manchester for a couple of years and Accrington for another, and spent those three years turning out such northern staples as treacle toffee, cinder toffee, winter nips, and brown candy, and was on the verge of moving to Blackpool to go and make Blackpool rock before I headed off back to London.

Where are you now? Do you ever get to come back North?

I've been in Austin since September '99 and have been back to the UK once - for two weeks last November. Even got to visit the Towers and meet the Italics

I didn't get a chance to visit old haunts in Lancashire on that occasion, and I don't even know anyone from my time there any more. Either I've lost touch with them or they've moved away. Well... it was 25 years ago you know, and I'm sure that one or two of the older people I knew will have passed on by now.

You should come and meet with us lot some time.
