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

I thought about putting a journal entry and being serious for once.

But! after thinking a while, I came to the conclusion, that! there is no subject or any situation on the planet that I could not make fun out of, in some form or other.

About a year after I'd started working at a chemical company, one young bloke on my shift, who was teaching me the job, took poorly and past away. we, as the rest of my shift and some others, went to the funeral and as they were taking the coffin from out of the hearse, I turned away, one of my mates said "what's up, can't you take it" my reply was "it's not that! but I've just had 4 jokes come in to my head about the situation and I can't get this big grin off my face". Which of course, would not have been appropriate at the time. I know bad things happen all around us and to us. But due to some genes in my body, I can't be serious for long.

So I reiterate, I would never write or say anything that would insult or offend anyone, but some times things might be taken the wrong way and for that, I will always apologise

Cooo! I've actually wrote something serious, must go lie down, medication can't be working

Post Script! (or a bit added after)

there IS one person who I will take the mickey/fun and deride and insult!
ME!because I see fun in myselfso I'll use anything/one for humour.

Also! I look at it this way(49%angle)if you can't take it, don't give it and if you can't laugh at yourself, it does not give you the right to laugh at others

That looked REALLY serious, for all of 30 seconds, Prof!

As if you would intentionally upset anyone.. *tsk*


You dafty

I like the title.

Prof, as soon as I saw the title I just knew it was you I know someone else who has inappropriate thoughts at the wrong time but would never intentionally upset anyone, and no, it isn't PHM

Hope you are feeling better now?

Oh don't worry Prof, I live in a country where there are people who've built entire careers out of looking for offence where none was intended, so they're everywhere.

You are the referee to the McInroe of HooToo - 'You can not be serious.'

Good on yah!

can't take afencegot enough, need a gate though

So you can go through in stile.

Hiya Prof. I sometimes have difficulty not giggling in places I shouldn't. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one. You don't strike me as particularly offensive though.

I also like to poke fun at myself. Possibly a bit of a pre-emptive strike. Life's too short to take seriously. We'll never get out of it alive, anyway.

Lik yo been sirius Proff

butt lik yu bene funy 2.

Spose I jus lik yu, lik evrybuddy els hear doze, reely!

kep upe de gudd w*rk

ah shucks!


friendship links are stronger than steel, by miles

You can seriously insult me anytime you like, prof . You'll find it difficult to offend me though. I agree that we need to be able to at ourselves.

Hope you're well. Van

I actually really like being teased and teasing in return. You have to laugh sometimes to keep from crying. It's better to be happy when you shouldn't then to be miserable when you should be happy.

Don't worry Prof, You're okay by my book!

And what's wrong with laughing at a funeral anyway? I usually do. Not deliberately, you understand...

this story about the funeral reminds me of one of my trips to England, when I was there with my school. I was invited to a wedding, sister of the Lady I stayed with got married. So on that day I was sitting with her husband (not the husband to be, but my "guestfather") and he asked me if I had ever been to a wedding. I said no and he replied: "That doesn't matter. Funerals are much more fun anyway".

(Perhaps I should explain that he was Irish, not English....)

And Prof, I have known you as someone who can see something to laugh in some situation others would moan or cry about - that is called humour and at least it helped me at times.... - thank you

Having received this e-mail- 21/01/2008 at 22.58pm

as follows:-

"I knew that I had this address around somewhere, from somewhen.

No, I was not seeking to call you "in the shadows", to try to turn
you in any way at all. I have seen you to be one who deals with
each person as you see them. Not necessarily how others see
them. I was seeking to quietly say as I did in my final post. That
with several persons watching my every post, waiting actively for
something to 'yikes', I thought it best to close out that thread. So
that has been said.

How-ever, I did read your poem in the Post. And really hope that
wasn't based on things that you have understood about me. If it
was, then you really have been misled. If not, I'll chalk it up to
justified paranoia.

Anyway, no hard feelings in any way. Have yourself a grand time
and life, and I'll see you on the threads.

"Rev" Nick

I have NOT given this e -mail address to this person! and I have only just, as the last couple of week, sent it out as a replacement of my old one! because of SPAM

No1. The poem in the front page is of no one in particular, as it says! every street has one. If Nick thinks it is about him, then I can only say, he is either a sad person and wants to get a life, or he has a guilty conscience. Either way! I do not like receiving e-mail in my private address, unless it's from persons I have given it to and it is not for anyone to pass on, unless I have given permission to do so.

So either my email address has been past on, or it's been got, through a forwarded email, that adds every email address on it


BUT! to use this statement, shows how low some can go
>"I knew that I had this address around somewhere, from somewhen<

I haven't read the poem (I will track it down because I find it worth reading anything that you write, Prof ) but I think it's intrusive for someone not to comment "on site". And to e-mail someone, who hasn't given you his or her email address, especially with such a message... *waits a minute to try to stop * isn't on.

I know it's easier said than done but stay and know that we (I think I speak for everyone in this thread), whom are privileged to be called your friends, will give you a or whatever you need whenever you want it.

Van (backing you up 100%)

I'm not sure what's going on, but I hope it all works out in the end. Drama is not worth worrying over.

I don't know why someone would talk to you like that. You're a wonderful person...
