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

I’m sorry but the name of this room has been troubling me. I don’t know if it’s a national or regional thing in the UK but if someone were to tell me they needed a ride I would automatically assume that they were after some sort of sexual gratification. Just thought I should point that out as I drag myself out of the gutter …

Errrr........I had hoped the intro page would be more clear, but the "ride" in this case refers to a car ride. I have no idea if this is a regional thing, but it isn't a UK thing, because I got it from the "Need-A-Ride Board" at the University of Illinois. It was a board where you could post a request for a ride, or offer a ride to someone who needed one. Of course, the ride was supposed to be a far away location like another state, not just to the post office and back.

I have to admit your idea sounds more fun, but I could get kicked off h2g2 for offering THAT kind of service

Hmm, I don't know mind ... with some careful wording this could become h2g2's unofficial 'hitch-up' forum for those with love on their minds. It has been in the air recently ...

Or maybe I need to sign up a romance advisor.....

I thought getting people to matches was supposed to be my job as team Unicyclist!

I wouldn't worry about it too much - Pip isn't around that often. Would you like your name added to this room? That would give everyone a choice, and we all know that most people will take a unicycle ride over a car ride (at least for short trips)

Yes, why not? Could you? Ta!

Ok Bluebottle, it's done

Ta. I hope you're not getting fed up of me and all my whining... I won't do it again - honest!

No problem I don't consider it whining at all....anything that keeps the Frink's Drinks forums alive is a good thing!

And congrats on the popularity of the Waterworks/Beach

Thanks. I'm very pleased on how it's working out!
Still, I'm aiming to visit all the Frinks Drinks rooms one-by-one eventually, so I'll see you about.

Sounds good to me

Hello? Is anyone here? I need a ride. Or maybe you can suggest a driving route from Hong Kong to London, where I assume the next game will be held?

You could always cycle by sea.

A seacycle?

Being a red blooded Englishman I was a little bit curious myself. Funnily enough I do know a girl called Pip who offers a service more in keeping with the English colloquial version of the room.

Oh well, I suppose a lift to the next game's out of the question?

No, but you may have to wait a while........

I would prefer a unicycle ride...

Really? Well, as the team unicyclist, I must say that I think that is a great choice.
Did you have any unicycle in mind???
