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

But I was so looking forward to grabbing you by the airport... you're just so darned tall...

B'Elana: last time I was there I just blundered around until I found a train! Thank goodness it was going in the right direction!

Finding a train is difficult enough, but finding your way from the plane to the control is like a mission impossible - there are no signs at all

You know, it was only in October, but I can't remember anything about it except that it wasn't as scary as Seoul airport (where I'd just come from)

Ok, so it's not scary - unless you panick because you don't find the way out

Right, I'm just going to sit down in the middle of the Arrivals hall and say "Om" a lot until you...er...grab me by the airports!

I may send a text or two as well.

You'll have to make it to pass control somehow, and that's exactly the tricky bit

Just follow everyone else.

>> Just follow everyone else. <<

That about sums up my plan. I'll also look for the word "Ausgang", which my feeble German tells me means "exit".

RF

that's what I was going to say

RF, do you want my mobile number too?
(gawd, I sound like an internet slapper!)

Sho, yes, please send me your number...I presume you still have my email addy - the yahoo one? (It's in the folder marked "secret lovers and really hunky guys", in case you've misplaced it! )

RF

Oh yes, just follow the exit signs

ahem - you're not the only ones on this thread, you two. We're trying to get organised down here.

Having said that, I've got neither a hotel room nor a train ticket. I'll try booking on line as Sho suggested this lunch time - ... was it a nice lunch, Sho?

oh sorry... are you trying to suggst that RF and I "get a room"

lunch was great, I ordered a mini pizza, got a big one, ate half and will have the other half (with beer) for dinner tomorrow

I really know how to live it up when and the Gruesomes are away!!

I'll mail you... you very tall person...

Hi TC, let us know when you'll be there once you've booked your ticket

Looks like I should be able to catch a train that arrives at 16:08 on Tuesday at the Hbf. Where could we meet at that time? I'll get a ticket for the trams, too, if my train ticket doesn't cover that anyway, and will be able to find you anywhere (I hope!)

Where's the Mad Fiddler - has he left already? He hasn't posted here for a while.

I gess we can come and meet you there

IIRC, the HBf is pretty central in Frankfurt

right, I'm off to bed, all the excitement has fair worn me out!

Got your mail, just replied...

RF

do I have to file it in "secret internet toyboys" or "mad internet axe-wielding people"?

Wasn't mazin' on a tour of Germany already? I've got his mobile number, if no-one's heard from him/arranged anything with him...?

RF

got your mail...
now, we're all going to meet you by clapping our hands, playing with our Indian Bells (DON'T MAKE THAT INTO SOMETHING SMUTTY)

and chanting about n i g h t h o o v e r

because that's the sort of thing you see at airports...
