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

Robert Rankin e mailed me to make sure I'm OK, i.e. hadn't gone a killed myself and to check was going to Brentcon1! So yay that's boosted my ego for the night! Scare the hell outta me and made me feel guilty for having my favourite author think about someone like me.

I'll reply to it tomorrow so I can spend a while on it so I don't say something dumb.

That is so cool that he emailed you! I've only heard of RR since I've been on hootoo (since Nov 2003) but I really want to read him now.

Wow...

I don't know him tho, shall perhaps look him up at some point

~waves at Hellie~

I'm afraid all indications are that he's not published this side of the pond, vixen

That's so Kam! Hm, maybe you can ask him if our guess as to why I can't find him over here is right

WoW!

That is very .

Kudos Stealth, kudos.


Geggs

Stealth, that's fantastic.

I'm really pleased for you. What a great guy he is huh?

Oh ok, thanks for telling me Amy

In the US you can get Robert Rankin novels from Amazon.com and can save a few $'s by getting them 'Used or New'. I can recomend titles if anyone wants.
http://www.sproutlore.com is the official fan club website, there is also an edited guide entry on him and then there's h2g2 fan club I tried to get and running with info too.

But yes it is a damn fine thing to be e mailed by Robert and Sally.
Confirms what we already knew Rachie, that Robert is good to his fans.

I haven't been at the computer all the while I've been connected so I still to get a reply sent off so I don't appear rude.

Will have a look in the second hand book store, don't hold out much hope tho, they don't seem to have any rhyme or reason the way the stack them.

The books are crammed into available shelf space and in piles on the floors and any surrounding window shelves! They seem to be in a kind of horror, reference, thriller, childrens categorical order but that is very loosely adhered to...coz customers tend to wander along with a book and then stuff it somewhere when they find another shiny..

I wouldn't hold out much hope then... I'm yet to a Robert Rankin book in a second hand book shop over here. Though Suz did find one recently methinks.

The books are on the list of ones I want to get when I get round to it

Hey its 2legs!

~waves like a mad maniac dervish~

*waves legs like a mad creature

*falls over as the legs are no longer holding him on the ground I started my assignment today... and finished it

Blimey that were quick, I'm not very good at assignments..or deadlines for that matter...

for 2legz!

Well, deadline, is strictly speaking, Monday; Sunday I'm traveling up to the course in Bristol, and Saturday is the meet, and tomorrow morning I've an interview in the morning, and getting ready for meet and packing for Bristol and cleaning house in afternoon its just a case of getting going with me, once I'm going it doesn't normally take long Right, its 9.36 PM, and I've dinner to cook, and I think it'l take a while to cook the sauce I want to make to use up the pasta, tomatos celery and mushrooms I've got, quite some time, so I better get going think I'll make enough for tomorrow night

Hope all goes well

Feeling quite tired tonight, went to bed quite late last night, and the night before I only slept for an hour or so at least I seem to be getting everything done though, and I even managed to cook a rather nice meal tonight; left half for tomorrow night, so one thing less to do

Haven't been getting much regular sleep myself...

I tend to go through 'phases', at the moment I'm totally irregular sleep, some nights I'll sleep a decent time, others hardly at all, then I'll hopeully get back to a sensible 'phrase' soon, and get pretty regular for a while...
