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

Hello Ændr (hey, it works!)

im awfully sorry thinking of you being male but being male myself it wasn't meant as an insult.
Admiring your personal space i think i'm not the firtst one thinking you're male
how can i make up for that?
offer you a (_) ?
a chocolate doughnut?
sing you a song?

maybe you prefer the doughnut

very regretful,
ringo

have i done it twice?

i'm really sorry, all i can do is apologize for that.
Or let me know if i can do anything else

please forgive me
ringo

Ringo,

*I'M* sorry.... I haven't been on h2g2 in 4 days so I only just saw your message.

no worries - I normally publicly rebukepeople once a month so others don't do it

yup you're right about you not being the only one

but you are the only one who did it previously and forgot again

but I'm not upset... just being pointed, pointedly...

have some chocolate cake

there you go, Ændr

glad you're not too mad about me. Fancy a piece of black forrest gateau as well?
btw, what hat size do you have?

I could easily get mad at people who don't realise that I run the cake and other food establishment at the Forum and Firkin... you should visit us in there sometimes if you are a cake eater

6 and a half
why?

i'll visit you soon, 'though i should take care about my weight

6 and a half, hmm this can't be inches, can it?
i asked because i always have problems with finding a nice hat in size 62 ("diameter" in centimeters)
i love wearing a hat, but i don't like seeing my hair when i have to take the hat off

have your head sized, only hatters know how hat sizes work

and you won't tell me, do you?

sorry, sworn to secrecy

tell me, pleeeeaaassse

I am sorry, I really really can't. It would be like telling the tabloid press someone's deepest and darkest secret... oops that happens every day doesn't it?

it does, indeed
and i am not the tabloid press... but i see your point
so i have to stay stupid (in this case)

so i have to find out by myself what english hat size i need, next time i'm in the UK

put your hand on the back of your head and feel the bumpiest bit that sticks out furthest. Measure your head around that bit to just above your eyes, trying to stay horizontal - someone else may need to help you. Measure it tightly in centimetres and then add 1 centimetre and tell me the answer.
