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

There have been Americans on h2g2 from the very start - just look at the 5-digit researcher number of Witty and BG

There's a *lot* of Americans on h2g2, Americans make up for 33% of the total visitors to the site while people from the UK only make up 30%. So while we promote (but not enforce) UK English in the Guide itself, and the humour here has a certain "Britishness" to it, the idea that we're UK Centric is laughable

Manchester was totally awesome.

*You* were awesome!

No, *you* were awesome.

You guys should really come back the redwoods miss you.

We could have a meet in Manchester CA, and double the population!

Okay, obviously I need to go back to sleep now.

I'd love to come back to California and see you guys! It was definitely the best holiday I've had!

Tunnel 1 is repaired, for further incentive.

Manchester CA? Intriguing! And a repaired tunnel? *very clueless*

But best of all: A Happy Nerd

Happy Nurd!

As to 'first Texan at a meet, in the UK'.... depends; Does Gosho count as a Texen? (I think* that's where he's living, but of course, origionally from the UK; he was at the Skanky meet, in... err... er... er... Torquay, knew I@d remember the name of the palce eventually )

I'm still annoyed I never made it to the last, or last two, or whoever many there has been, Manchester meets... I was... a bit tied up at the time, I think

There was a Meet in Turkey ?!

Yeh... yeh... the one* time I spel soemthing korectly!

Oh, I'd forgotten that Gosho went to the Skanky meet. But yeah, he's not a native Texan so I'll still count it.

I'll be the first with a Texas accent.

Goshos accent is great... YOu'd never guess he'd ever* left London
I'm not sure which accet I'll bring to the meet... probably a pirate one, as it always seems to end up sounding 'pirate' whichever accet I try to do

It will be interesting to see if BG and I will be able to understand each other.

By the way, nobody here ever says 'Joisey'.

Oh Wow!! Accents!

I love Witty's accent, and Happy Nerd's, and now we get to hear a real live Texan accent

Texas is weak, Gosho's accent is strong. Texas hasn't put a dent in Gosho's accent. During the time Gosho has been in Texas, there's been a statistically significant regional increase in the production and consumption of real beer.

Lets face it; I guess, that since Gosho has been there, the Texus accent, has, itself, taken on many characteristics of Goshos accent... He's like the king of Texus really, lets face it Not worthy!

Heehee... Someday he may find thind this threa and it'll all go to his head, which will then become as big as Texas.

I can feel his presence.... lurking over our shoulder, like a giant benevelent force of greatness and accent
