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

HI, can you let me know what you think of the story I posted today and how I can keep from being so lonely. No vistors and I'm pratically two weeks old !!

LOve Bigalthefirst

I'm sending the Aces over, they'll introduce you to everyone...

Hi I am the first of the ace team - sorry you got missed and two weeks old at that. I can remember when I was in the nappy stage - its nice to know some one else is out there - as the other aces arrive the will give you lots of friendly links to visit and believe me there are a lot of friends to be made.

If you have any questions - please click on my name above and visit my page or ask away here. You can go to the front page - there you will find links to the ace home page - why not pop over and say Hi with the words "you missed me" - you make that little smiley by typing : - P without spaces.

You *do* realise that every single ACE is going to come and post here.
That's not a bad thing, but could get very hectic.

We're all really sorry we missed you... it's just that the method we use to find everyone is a little hit and miss, but should be a little better now.

Best way to make new friends (and influence... no.) is to find some articles and forums you like the sound of. If you go to http://www.h2g2.com/info I *think* you'll get a list of most recently posted-to forums, which can be good when you are bored / lonely.

Of course every single ACE is going to come and post here? Such is the power of Peta... Hi there! I'm not the best person to say I'm sorry you were missed, since I should really greet a lot more people than I do... I joined before the Aces existed and remember well the loneliness when noone visited my page for over a month... must stop now before I fill up the server

Wow I had no idea you were so important thanks for sending over the ACES though most of them seem to be jokers-nice people.

thanks a lot

Sorry to cause such a rumpus, her's something that i hope makes up for it:-

My Pretty Rose Tree
A flower was offerd to me;
Such a flower as May never bore.
But I said I've a Pretty Rose-tree!
And I passed the sweet flower o'er .

Then I went to my Pretty Rose-tree;
To tend her by day and by night.
But my Rose turnd away with jealousy:
And her thorns were my only delight.

Cheers Bigerthaneveralthefirst

Hi bigal,

Just wanted to welcome you, as well. Actually, I feel like we're already old friends. I came by to see today's journal entry. I guess I'm a little early yet. I'm off to read The Magical Story again. Just to get that good feeling again.

See you around.

Love,

Ali*

Alicat,

Sorry missed a day too busy, todays is dedicated to you.

Shadow,

Are you related to moonshadow as I'm being followed by a moonshadow moonshadow (Cat Stevens).

bigal ,

Gw7en,

A question how do you synthesize cholesterol starting with ethylene and what catalysts would you suggest using ?

LOve bigal ( you did say I could ask ) ,

Shadow,

OK anything to be friendly I'll cut the slack and you carry it.

bigal ,

Looking forward to all that is the beautiful, wonderful bigal.

Love,

Ali*

Wow! What a wonderful welcome. Thanks everyone.

Y'see Peta, we'll all come running when you want us.

Sorry for the delay in responce time, I only have access during the week while I'm at work, until the end of this month. In regards to my name (Shadow) it's one that was dubbed upon me quite a long while ago and since then I can't recall the last time I heard my birth name. I was JSSOG in the US military and I have this disconcerting ability to just disappear. During field exercises where we were to avoid being killed or captured, the instructors and OPFOR's started saying...he's harder to get than...(yep, that's right) your own shadow! And the rest as they say is history.

And thank you Peta.

Long may your grumbles dangle and your crutterbucks grow until the declining light of Zog dies peacefully and night descends on our cosy little hamlet of the web.

Appreciate the great welcome all you ACES, JOKERS and vegiman, of whom it has been said that's vegiman.
