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

PS again. Lo! the bicycle spoke , (you started me off here, Prof ,

and the bicycle said so erm OK how about a great bike trail advert.

For those in South East England. Put the bike on the train to Hove or Brighton, walk, or road-cycle it to the seafront, then pick up the traffic-free bike lane that runs from Hove, all the way along the Brighton seafront, past the pier, along Madeira Drive, through Brighton Marina, along the Undercliff trail to Rottingdean (say hullo to the spirit of Rudyard Kipling), and then go all the way back again.

That's more like it, said the bicycle. Which spoke. To me.

Now isn't that interesting.

No? Byeee

thank you for theCC
I don't blushbut I'll make an exception

I'm glad to hear that you and your husband are cycle shoppers.

I thought that my husband and I were the only ones left in the wild!

Hah! the cycle shoppers are everywhere. heheh. Well, actually they're not. We've been teased mercilessly for 25 years. Shall we compare panniers? .

Well, I don't have front panniers, as well as back panniers, but he does. And what else can you carry on a bike? Well, he once carried a hoover. . A couple of days ago he carried a mic stand. Wouldn't go on the road though with these. Takes the long route home, via the river track. And then there are waterproofs. Shall we compare waterproofs? . See, I'm not sure about the front pannier, because .....

zzzz where you gone??

H

Where were you when I had insomnia last night? The one topic that puts me right to sleep: bicycle sprockets...

Ah, the bike sprocket. I have tale about a bike sprocket. Get a hot choccy, settle in and I shall tell you my tale.

2hrs and 14 minutes later ....

zzzzz ah, sleeping peacefully. .

what's a sprocket?

I dunno. I've never stayed awake to find out.

A-sprocket-a-sprocket-a-queep?

a sprocket a sprocket a queep a queeeeeep
will send you to sleeeeeeep to sleeeeep to sleeeeeep

why aren't you sleeping? you guys are all working so hard right now on this h2g2 transition. I'm worried about you. Perhaps we should have an h2g2 chillout space. With roses and things. Swing chairs. Fountains. And a bar. yay!

Definitely a good idea.

We have near-100-degree temps here today, humidity, etc. Even with a/c, my allergies are going crazy.

"Well, I don't have front panniers" - I had somebut no bikeso it was hard going

These are so great, Prof. I love them so much. I love the two new visitors to the flock. I can see them, you know, dancing over the flickering landscapes of the mind's eye.



Really inspiring, too, that list. Uh oh. .I love lists. Lists of funny fragments. Textures. Patterns. More funny fragments. I have a flock of funny fragments, that keep getting mixed up in paragraphs. I keep telling them to make a life outside of paragraphs, but they won't listen.

Uh oh. . Hey Prof, let us compare flocks. Until I can get to talk about panniers again. .

Paragraphs made from flock of funny fragments alert ....

The Spirits of Past Thoughts are flying in a dodgy rhyme formation across the lobby of an hotel that has many carpets of floral design. A caterpillar is slowly crossing the vast plains of carpet, trying to find home in one of the flowershapes.

The grey eyed owl person is drinking coffee, and discussing the meaning of art with ...

what?? The grey eyed owl person?? OK, time for my rest. .

lists! I had a list, but I wear 2 earrings in one ear to correct it

I can't quite put my mind round Imp’horhothon.

What kind of dinosaur is that?

Can we have one that rides a bicycle, preferably with panniers?

it's sort of got 5 legs, one is so elongatedthat you mistake it for a tail with a barb on the end

(phew! a bit of fast thinking there)

actually MVP, after "making" them up from the subject box "angels and dinosaurs" I wish I was a decent artist, as I'd love to be able to draw them to what my imagination would think they look like

I was in Brighton today and I came out of a shop to find myself face to face with a Tyrannosaurus Rex. In fact, there was a whole group of dinosaurs, bellowing and screaming.

They were only models, not Monsters From The Past Come to Wreak Havoc. How disappointing.

how big were they ?

What???? . Ah Brighton. Never fails to bring on hallucinations. hahah. I can't believe you were in Brighton, and I wasn't. Pine pine yearn. They weren't mammoths by any chance were they? Haha. Ah yes, I do love a pessimist. I am changed.

huh? .

wait. I have to change postings. my laptop is doing weird things in the taskbar.
