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

it would be nice to hear bahb playing again - however i think that the sax go tired a few hour ago.

*appears from the storeroom, looking slightly dusty*
Hi RB, hello Barley.
RB, I couldn't be bothered trawling through all the feedback threads, as they had grown so big over the weekend, and I just don't have the time just now. But that is a good piece of info.
*helps self to fresh coffee, to clear the dust from his throat*

Yeah, Barley, the IIEM comes through pretty well. It created my special coffee blend.

I think Lil keeps the donuts under the counter to keep Pierrot from taking them all.
*reaches under the counter*
Ah, here we are. One sugar donut for Barley.

So are you getting acquainted OK with h2g2? It can be a bit confusing, but I think you'll find it's a whole lot of fun. And the cafe is a great place to hang out. Friendly people, good coffee, tea and donuts, and a few interesting resident creatures. Have you met Ook and Pierrot?

hello - did you find anything , besides dust that is, in the good old storeroom?
any strange goodies for tomorrow morning?

i dont thing that i have meet them yet - there was a cat in here yesterday.
*wipes white power off chin with a giggle*

Yes, the cat is Diogenes and belongs to Odradek.

Ook is the blue sumatran orangutan that's currently beating me handily at scrabble. He doesn't say anything more than...
>Ook: Ook!<
That's right, Ook, but he's very bright, a killer scrabble player, and also good at crosswords and tiddlywinks. Vlad, one of the regulars, was trying to get some blue sumatran coffee from the IIEM (Infinitely Improbably Espresso Machine) when it was acting up, and Ook appeared, and has been mostly living here at the cafe.

Pierrot is the Norwegian blue parrot that's been giving me bad advice in the game. He's a bit more talkative...
>Pierrot: Awwwk! Barley, hops, beer!<
No, Pierrot, no alcohol is served in the cafe. You know that!
Anyway, Barley, Pierrot belongs to Garius, I believe, and provides Ook with some company when nobody's around, as well as trying to get any donuts he can grab.

Sorry Barley, i wasn't ignoring you there.
Nothing interesting, just empty boxes, so I was breaking them down for the recycling, hence the dust!
The cat is Diogenes, (Digi for short) he belongs to Odradek and can be quite surly. He also loves Strawberry-Kiwi yogurt!
Lil, generally brings in the fresh pastries in the morning.

Damn yer eyes Redbeard. I was trying to avoid a simulpost with you again, but to no avail!

G'evening all.

Terrible cat story Lil. I guess that means you won't be wanting an autographed copy of my upcoming blockbuster, "Zen and the art of battery maintenance".

Of course she will, Looney, she will read it, but just won't use it too much!

I'll take Lil's copy, Løøny! I'd love to have it.

Sorry B-17. Simulposting is just a way of life around here Isn't it amazing, though, how you get just that slightest bit of satisfaction when yours shows up in the list ahead of the other person's!

No, 'cos mine always seems to be second!

Awww, B-17. Too bad.

Ok, Ook... you beat me again
Not much help there, Pierrot!
>Pierrot: Awwwk! Good Parrot! Bad tiles!<

Well, got to get going. See you Løøny and B-17. Nice to meet you, Barley!

*washes mug and heads out the door, pausing just long enough to see if he simulposts with Babel *

ya, as much as i would love to hang out here all night, i've got to go home and do some laundry. yuck!
the tea was great, and so was the company.
see you guys later.

Thankfully not this time, as despite the fact you are still online, I have been in another forum and only just got this
Sleep well RB.

Bye Bye to you aswell, Barley.
Drop in again soon

It's quiet. Oh well, my turn to posta fresh thread then. *lets cleaning bot out of cupboard. Clears tables, cleans counter, washes cups and mugs. Throws out old papers and cardboard boxes, for recycling* Ok folks, its over here now: http://www.h2g2.com/F26140?thread=58693 Race you Ook and Pierrot. *picks up Digi and runs....*
