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

Soap opera part two.

Went innocently out to the launderette & guess who i bumped into? Yup, Bloody Philippe! He accompanied me to get the washing out then b*ggered off again, but not before leaving me his new phone number & having a good old moan about his new female friend.

This weekend may be interesting, ACP may or may not be visiting The Ex, it's "make your mind up time kiddies!"

zdt*& he thinks HE is stressed out?*tries extremely hard to donot

hi

Hi Terri
theres too many Patricks and Phillippes in the world, or at least in Angouleme!

Yup, i seem to have my own private collection, maybe i should frame them up & hold an expo? I was about to say "mount them" but maybe that would be misinterpreted

I also know at least 4 Veroniques, some of whom are connected to the Patricks and Philippes, so it gets even more confusing. Would make life difficult for a screenwriter!

And don't even contemplate the names that start with Jean...Jean Claude, Jean Francis, Jean Michel, Jean Jaques, Jean Paul, Jean Louis.....

Got a bit of backlog to catch up on here yet, but that'll have to wait because I'm logging off in a second... anyway, just wanted to post you this: http://www.hang.ch/en/produkt/index.html
It's an amazing instrument called a Pantam that I was introduced to today - basically percussion, but with a very unique string-like sound. I'm afraid they're ridiculously expensive but maybe one of your talented friends could make one?

& (&)

Gotta rush!

Hmmmm....looks very!

Now i come to think of it, i've got a couple of woks lying around.... difficult choice, curry or !!!

for that lady P. You will be shocked to discover i finally got round to sending something in the post to you yesterday; i sent it to the address you gave me before, hope that's OK?

It's bloody hot here today, about 35°, just ventured out to the shop & gave up, i will have to try again later when it's cooled down a bit.

used to be an advert on telly years back:- go to wok on an egg!, always wondered what that meant

Hah!!!

Hi lil *waves*
I have not spoken directly to you in a while.
Wanted to get back to animals page to post a hello to you

In the interest of time and energy I will here.
Hello !
******

Lady P interesting link
Your postcard collection is growing
I think you may have some Rocky Mountain cards, if not I can send some when my house is sorted out again , I will find them.
*wonders when that might be*

Terri I do not feel so bad about mixing up some of those names!
Plus they all have nicknames.
I do get confused sometimes!

The worse mistake I made was thinking the Viking was ill and unable to work. Sort of tweaked me he accepts all the stuff that requires *your money while he does not work.

Maybe he is not feeling as entitled (? assuming is better?) as it appears. Is this particular topic a case of us lot not understanding because we only get one side when you are unhappy about things?

I will drop it if you are OK with it. Just because it bothers me ,does not mean it's a problem for you.
Guidance needed Terri!

Yes, you do only tend to get one side of things on here; i am guilty of coming on here as an escape when things are and whinging! When things are going well, it usually means i am with him doing nice stuff; so "no news is *usually* good news"!

Anyway, the latest is: he has made his choice at last and it's me so who is going to open the then?

There is no way on god's earth this is going to ever be an easy relationship, by our own admission we are *both* difficult people, particularly in that we are both stubborn as hell! But on the plus side..well, there's a lot; very good solid stuff on both sides; it's very difficult to explain someone's good qualities & pretty damn easy to detail their negative ones.

Ok, here's a great RL example right now of the general situation! It is bloody hot here, we have the fan on full blast, he needed to do some washing a wanted to hang it directly on the fan; i said "No!" but he went ahead & did it anyway, horrifying noise; me be screaming fit to bust which believe me has an impressive decibel rating; thinking his fingers got minced. Nope, it's *just* the end of the plastic hanger. So, once i realise he isn't minced, i start yelling "You daft twat, you nearly broke my fan!!!" he is "ah, it's ok, " but by then i am & barge out to walk round the block & calm down; it's an improvement on stomping off further afield, which we both used to do. I return & he has successfully managed safely to hang his wretched washing on the bloody fan.

So now it's "You silly bugger!" "you obstinate little sod!" ...and him suggesting maybe he should put his willy into the fan to make amends? "No bloody way, why the hell do you think i am interested in you; it's obviously not for your brain!" "No, i am a genius for thinking of this solution to drying clothes, i should start a laundry!"

Gawd, we both aspire to but usually end up with a bizarre combination of & !

So, an inside view of life with frog vikings & zen devils. Aren't you lucky?

*Stand on the table to wave to abbi*

Hiya!!!





Terri, I would have called him a few more choice words too

(Finally caught up with missed backlog... my, your life IS complicated, ain't it? )

Ooh, Abbi, are you sending a postcard as well? Yay!!

Lady Pennywhistle, do you collect post cards? I might have some I could send you. Will have a look and let you know!

Not exactly collecting, but I've started a sort-of project: F1134023?thread=632565

Well I'd be happy to send you a Chicago postcard! I'll pick one up and get it posted over the next few days.

*waves at PC*

Hiya Terri! Was just popping on to leave you a quick message. K's picking up our friend Tim (another guitar-playing Geezer, who dislocated his shoulder recently, so Geezers aren't practicing this evening... instead, the three of us are going to watch a DVD), they stopped to pick up some chips and soda and stuff.

Anyway, long story short... the company that shares the building with mine (my boss's uncle owns the building and rents us part of it) manufactures clock hands. Sounds weird, but hey, clocks need hands! So, I gathered up a bunch of them, a pretty filigree type, some unfinished metal and some painted black. Thought you might be able to use them for a cheesebox?

I'd like to post them separately from your CDs (of which there are several at this point), just in case, being metal and pointy-ish, they don't make it through a customs inspection. I plan to send them off within the next two weeks.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!

Sounds absolutely brill & fits in beautifully with an idea i have had festering for a while......

I should think they will get through, every other odd item people have sent me has been fine.

Can you let me know when they might get here 'cos the latest complication is i *may* be away from 1st week july for a month; but it's only maybe; but if a parcel arrives it has to be me myself who picks it up from or they send it back after a certain time.

& with the job situation!*

Those sound like very good items for cheeseboxes PC and Terri!
(clock hands)They could be used in many ways and gosh you already have ideas

Making clocks that are works of art are easy if you use the small battery box thingy on the back
That could be fun too!
