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

Coffee, tea, sundry specialties, doughnuts, brownies, and above all good conversation. Join us!

Oooooo, I'm first here.

Could I have a majik tea, please, Lil. I got one from the IIEM on the last thread, but I could use another. The IIEM did give it to me in a blue cup with a moon and stars on it. The moon and stars twinkled, impossibly. See? Could you put my new one in this cup, please.

My goodness... those doughnuts moved fast... ~grin~... have no worries though... me has tracked them down...

Hey peoples Is this seat taken? Oh, and could I have a Espresso please? I need something to keep me awake until X-Files comes on later- David Duchovney

Question- how do I engage Ook in a game of scrabble??

~ m

*freshens Garius's cup*
*espresso for somat*
*Greebo Special for the wily Greebo*
*sticks head outdoors*
Yo, Ook! There's a customer wants a game!
*Ook drops to ground from nearest oak tree and shambles excitedly on to porch*
Here's the box. Good luck to ya.

Love that cup, Garius. We ought to get an overhead rack in for people to keep their cups. That's how pus and inns used to work in the old days.

Cheerz Lil

So.. Ook, I'm a scrabble master- I'm going to kick your ass

~ m

Me is not wily... ~grin~... me has a smooth coat...

*rolls her eyes and pours self another cup of milky sweet coffee*

Ok, I know when I'm beaten- Ook, you win, but next time....

So, Lil- do i have to refresh the page to see the new messages? Anyone fancy a chat? I've been studying all day and im bored

~ m

See, I told you. That ape can play. Are you school or university? What have you been studying? You're a Brit, right?

I'm a Brit, yup, from Edinburgh I'm still at school, my Hgihers (A-Level equivalents) start on Tuesday so I've been doing lots of Maths and English today but i also have Phycis, biology and chemistry over hte next few weeks

Keep the espressos coming

~M

And don't forget the milk... ~grin~

Greebo Special ---> (%) with straw
Espresso --------> c(~)

Well, I keep studying even into middle age, because for a start the Code Gods keep inventing new programming languages and upgrading the existing ones, and for another thing, cool but complicated new apps keep coming out.

gods preserve from ever having to understand physics again.

I have to understand it tomorrow and tuesday, thursday and friday, moday and wednesday of the following week, then I can forget all about it again 'till August.

Hot white chocolate please, Lil

How're you?

I'm doin fine, Joanna, nice to see you here. How is it I utter the word "physics" for the first time since I subbed your article ... and you show up. Are you psychic?
|`| <-------- hot white chocolate. So now I have two Scots in the cafe, along with a cat and an orangutang. Just another Sunday afternoon, with the sun out and Prairie Home Companion on the radio.

Lil, I'm not the Princess of Darkness for nothing of course I show up when the word physics is uttered! I can't help it...

*sips |`|* thanks!
two scots?
Its seems wierd that its Sunday afternoon for you, Its a lovely evening here, and there was a big enormous rainbow stretched across the river... I'm sure it ended in our garden, but unfortunately my physics course tells me I shan't find any gold...

Oh right, you're at Durham. Close to Scotland but no cigar.

But you're far enough north that there's probably still daylight at this hour. I lived in Edinburgh for a while and remember those long long days.

You're right, there is still light...
I hope there's enough daylight left for me to get home...
bye for now

Joanna (who keeps meaning to visit her friend in Edinburgh but hasn't got around to it this term either... )

See you later, Joanna.
Any other orders?
*settles back down to finish crossword, but finds that Ook has already finished it* Drat!

i hope you dont mind me asking... who is ook?
