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

1) Sho's got a rack (putting the "chest" in Manchester, indeed)
2) Pastey's definition of "general knowledge" is fundamentally flawed
3) Mr Nerd's beard is beyond epic
4) There's no Californian translation of the phrase "what's occurring?"
5) Lil gets progressively more scouse the more booze she gets down her
6) Bel's linguistic pedantry isn't confined to the web (I'll amend that slip-up soon)
7) If you put a group of people who've never met together and add beer, the first topic of conversation will inevitably be plumbing (hello Sho, Zens, etc)
8) Phil's your go-to guy for a round, and deserves undying adoration
9) Superfrenchie doesn't smile. Ever.
10) TRiG labours under the misconception that chocolate is a great drinking snack

It was great to meet you - even though you were hardest to understand (this honour previously went to Bald Bloke).

I have a perfectly understandable accent. 99% of the people within a mile would have no issues understanding me!

Bloody tourists...

That might be because of the distance between 603's mouth and everyone else's ears.

I'm glad it wasn't just me superfrenchie didn't smile at: I was worried I'd offended her (I know, me offending someone: like that could ever happen)

Bloody tourists indeed.

I mentioned it to her. She pouted. But maybe she couldn't understand my peasant dialect?

Probably better than me - she lived in England for a while. And I have a few photos of here where she smiles, so you must have done something wrong.

I think you were perfectly understandable 603
and yes Mr Nerds beard was epic

I reckon Iago offended her that much that she didn't want to smile again...

Nawww, how could anybody resist Iago?

Glad you could understand me Anth!

I could understand you. But I'm so me and my "rack" will be staying home in future

Sorry you didn't get your beer off me - but you always seemed to have a nearly full pint in your hand so I think you did ok. (cool t-shirt, btw)

I did brilliantly when it came to people buying me drinks. Which is always a bonus.

I understood you perfectly well, Mr603.

Good! It's disconcerting to have a language barrier in your own back yard...

I guess the greatest surprise to me was that you write in such clear and distinct English, and then you opened your mouth and...

I'll get my coat.

Well h2g2's forums won't render a glottal stop, so I've got no way of writing like I speak.

That said, I've started reading all of Bel's posts in her voice, and it iz making zee postinks zlightly more like dialogue from a bad var movie, ja?

well i think you've got a lovely accent even if it's not a Yorkshire one (which, as any fule know, is the best)

scottish accent is the best Sho, we all know that

sorry, you are lovely and all but ... Yorkshire. 'tis the Accent Of The Beanster (so: not just any ol' Yorkshire accent, a Sheffield one )
