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

I used up all my purple prose on the previous thread heading, and haven't built my hit points back up, so tonight I'll just tell you what you already know, that this is the Aroma Cafe, and refer you to the first post of yesterday's thread if you need a refresher course.
*breathes*

Strolls in.

Hello, Lil. How'd I do?

Gee thanks!

Hi, B-17! I haven't seen you since... the last thread!

RBB in FTTF cup ----------> ^}~{^

Babel, how are we going to get you up to speed on the campaign... I say, you ought to join the OTD list! It gives you the chance to be in touch with many of us without incurring online expenses. You'll find details on my home page. Look for the driftwood. Redbeard, you know about the OTD list, don't you? How about you DD? (Is he still here?) *peers into gloom*

Just because I had to go do something IRL! Not fair!
*tantrum, rant, rave, fume, whimper, simper, poop*
And relax. Obviously havent been to Courtesy38's Zen garden for a while. Can you tell? btw RB, how did the Shakespear Festival go?

Yes, Lil, I've heard about OTB (was also referred to as off-tropic drift on your page, btw ), but haven't gotten around to it.

The Shakespeare Festival opened a week ago, B-17.. rave reviews and the new theatre is incredible! We're 96% sold out for the entire run already, and we've just added an extra week to the run (this with a larger capacity new theatre).

I know I was boring you guys about working on the Program Guide , but it came out very well. If you'd like, email me your snail mail address and I'll send you a free one (60 pages, tons of photos, etc.). Same goes for Irv, who might enjoy seeing it.

*gleefully sips first-to-the-forum drink*

Ain't gonna do it from here, so I shall enroll from chez moi in about 4 hours or so. It will be there for your breakfast perusal.
That way I can stay involved, as this one week on, three weeks off might be more frequent than not.

*Jinglingling*
Hm, where is everybody?
*Settles down with C coffee and a newspaper.*

*Stands up, sreeeetching*
*Walks over to the bookshelfs, reads titles, picks out a colorful paperback*
London A-Z.
IIEM, a strawberry icecreamsoda please.
*Settles down again.*

ingle-ing

*drags in, puff-puff, pant-pant, cross-eyed from reading backlog*

IIEM: [~]k, please

Gosh, I missed this place.

Hi Bumblebee, pleased to meet you. I just got back from a week in London. Can I help you with anything?

Got some RL stuff to take care of, but I'll be back in a bit.

If you could recommend a bed&breakfast or other not too expencive lodgins, that'll be nice...
My daughter is a worryer, she'll freak out if she suss that we haven't booked rooms yet.

I just found this, I'll go and check it out now:

Lil's ISP is not working at the moment due to some cable being cut somewhere. They haven't given a time for the fix, so she doesn't know when she will be back. She can't access her email or get to h2g2. She sends her regrets.

Poor Lil, there's nothing worse than being cut off unvoluntarily.

I have now booked a room at the Stuart Hotel, South Kensington,
Arrival 18th of July.
*The holiday suddenly seems like a reality*
Now I go for a beer.

Bumblebee, we went the hotel route, stayed @ The Forum Hotel, 1 block from Gloucester Rd station. It's one of the Intercontinental Hotels, which are running some pretty good deals this summer. We got room and English breakfast for £125/nite.

There are several web sites for booking B&B's in the London area. Here's one that looks interesting: http://www.londonbb.com/

*refills [~]k, helps self to M==*

Good morning, all.

IIEM, Redbeard's Brew and pain au chocolat, please.
*takes coffee, croissant, and newspaper to table*

Bad news about Lil's ISP. I sure hope it doesn't last long. She'll be a basket case if she's kept out for more than a few hours.
