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

Fair point. Alright, well I say Ford Prefect then, wildly optimistic and inclined to ober-commit and get into trouble. Although, a bit Arthur Dent as well.

Oh, I definitely don't take it personally

I just won't play if gender is a requirement for participation

Hmm, interesting set of questions. I'm keen to know how you will use the information.

Cassandra Mortmain from 'I capture the Castle' due to her detached view on life.

I'm male.

P

Alice from Alice in Wonderland, don't know really why, because we all live in wonderland I guess
I'm a male

Cameron Colley, from Complicity by Iain Banks.

oh yeah and I am a fellah....

Interesting question.

I've been told I remind people of Arthur Dent (THHGTG/Douglas Adams), in *apparently* the bumbling way I carry on regardless, and like to know things are just *so*.

I think I probably am akin to Rick Deckard (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep/P.K Dick); I strive for betterment, not realising where I am sometimes, enjoy humour but can also be self-centred and ignorant of others feelings.

But then I have a different persona for my work life (children's nurse), which is more like Peter Pan (Peter Pan/JM Barrie). I have a natural sense of fun and youth (I'm 30 but look and act a whole lot younger) and don't want to grow old, yet also have the ability to let children feel safe and trust me. There is a an underlying sense of responsibility to my friends and colleagues, but I often hide that with jokes.

I am male.

Erm - I know/have known @ least 4 females called Bob or other derivatives - wasn't Blackadder in love with a girl called Bob too?

Post 11:

Um - answering question:
Author: Damon Runyan
Character: Alice (as in Wonderland and through Looking Glass)

<looks under skirt and winks

I heard about a dancer in Spain who could wink *and* blow smoke rings from under her skirt

I was motivated to ask this because of something I heard ont eh radio that said men tended to relate to strong, male, capable characters in fiction. Whereas women were just a likely to find paralles with themselves and make heroines of dizzy, female airheads who were genrally a bit wishy washy like Bridget Jones.

From the handfull of response it apaears that this isnt true or atleastisnt true of the people round these parts.

To be honest, I was going to say Dan Dare, but my arch nemesis has blue skin, so the parallel just doesn't hold water.

"wasn't Blackadder in love with a girl called Bob too? "

No, that was Kate. Which was short for Bob.
