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

all of the non-edibles vaporize after leaving the time displacement field of their respective owner. For instance...

*makes himself a three second grilled chicken, plain, with extra cheese, on a honey oat bun, devours it, and non-challantly tosses the crumpled paper over his shoulder, a meter away, it disappears with a "poof" sound*

see?

Ex-cell-ent!!!


Do you make Dim Sum?

SofCofT

I haven't yet, but if you tell me what it is, I can always try.

Chinese small-eats - chickens' feet in black bean sauce, lots of prawny things, steamed buns with bbq red pork, stuffed mushrooms, more prawn things, little pork balls, more prawn things,........
Most of them steamed.

*Chronoshifts into distant antiquity, learns Chinese, goes to China, learns how to make Dim Sum from the Imperial Chef, Chronoshifts back to within a nanosecond of leaving and starts cooking Dim Sum*

Don't you mean Dim Sim?

Don't think I know 'im !
(Spent too long on the one line Limerick conv.)

That depends on the pronunciation of the Chinese characters? Dim Sum is what it says in all my UK recipe books.
Time Travelling Chef

I fancy some Ch'a-shao-pao and Shao-mai please.
SofCofT

*Makes a big plate of Ch'a-shao-pao and sets another plate next to it, brimming with Shao-mai*

Enjoy, this is the most Chinese food I'v ever made in an hour

Traveller in Time on his head walks in he heads for a table near the fountain
"Can I have some slug soup as a starter, I have been too busy lately, I could use a slow down."

Oh! that was superb!
Must go back an hour and have some more! No need to go back twenty years to Hong Kong now. Can have another plate an hour ago!

SofCofT

*The slug soup apears now*

Enjoy

*and the rest appears an one hour and five minutes ago*

How was it?

How have I missed this society up till now? Why have I noticed it now that it's on the front page today?

I know the answers to neither of these questions, but I do know I want to join.

Can I join? Please?

Hi,

I want to join too......

......I think I want to be the keeper of the animals, if that's alright with everyone. I could be the strange girl who sits on her own reading a book with her and and and all sat around her.


And I promise that the sheep won't be any problems at all, unless her brother comes to visit. (What with him being a and everything)

I've never been a member of a soceity or group or anything before, I'm so excited!

"Hi, you will both have to wait for Time Traveller, our chairman. He ususally accepts new members at first<?> sight. We are expected to help him build appropriate offices and rooms. You 'build' your own office, he carves a tile for the main hall. And Who has to link up all sorts and places in his portal."


lurking on many pipes
"I do think 'Geggs Sakkosekken' could use an appropriate name 'Later' for instance?"

As there already is a broom cupboard, I'm going to store my implements in a locker there!

Hello, I would like to join. I notice you do not have an Official Paradox Remover, and I feel that I would fit that role admirably.

Ooh,I'd like to join.I have thought of a position that you are sorely in need of.That is the position of,Erector of S.E.P Field's.Think about it.Somebody goes to the past,walks around a bit,pops off to a pub and gets drunk.There-after he goes about telling people,very loudly in most cases,exactly who he is an when he is from.This alone could cause a lot of problems in space-time,worse than this however is the fact that people need stuff.This isn't a problem untill you realise that people lose stuff.Can you amagine the uproar if people today started finding petrified used gum wrappers dated to be older than the dinosaurs and labled "made in america"?Well all this can be avoided by Erecting a simple,cheap and energy efficient S.E.P field on a traveller before they leave his or her time.There-after the effects of anything they did in the past would simply become somebody elses problem.Thank you for your time,let me know if you decide that you need my services.

That sounds pretty useful, good idea.

Yes I'd vote for you - make my job easier!
