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

'Fraid it will have to be on deck, not too far from the galley/bar.Would suggest a virtual discussion cabin, with the proviso that those who have to walk the plank will always have a lifebelt attached. The reasons for walking the plank would always be democratically decided. Who has the galley cabin? Is the food good? As for age, as you only have one wooden leg we have one good leg between the two of us.!! Mind you going on a cruise in the Carribbean might be just what is needed to make the legless mobile, plus of course the wonderful sea air. Thanks for accepting me as a crew member. sailor AR1

Welcome aboard AR1. I have asked the shipwright to build a cabin around you right here. You can easily acess the main mess from here, but you may prefer the lighthouse bar in cabin 13 - it is far busier. And the barmaid is a lovely creature from the british isles. They know how to serve and there, you know Go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F70774?thread=144403 As for virtual discussions go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F70774?thread=130423&skip=0&show=20

Oops, I just realised that this thread is not on the ship, but in "MY Space"

Want me to create a suitable cabin for you on the main deck of the ship and guide you to it?

Just say the word

Dear Master , I've been thinking long and hard about my first instinct to join your crew. On second thoughts I think it would not be wise in view of my great age and also the fact that no matter how hard you try you cannot get others to accept that there is some good in aged Thnaks for trying so hard!!. Also reading some of the adivce given to newcomers, my attempt at humour was most misplaced with the plank. It was only thing that I could remember from Peter Pan and the . It must have obviously terrified me. So happy sailing; perhaps our ships of life will pass somewhere else on the wonderful website. Sincerely, the Aged would-be- AR1

Sorry? I'm afraid I don't get it

Maybe it's because I haven't visited the plank for days? I'll just go an have a look.

Anyway: You are free to come and go as you please. We don't discriminate here, you know? Everybody is welcome - provided they are registered h2g2-researchers, of course. We don't care about age, skin color, religion, nationality, sex (well, er, we *do* care about sex, you know - but that's another ballgame - if you catch my drift...)

So please, AR1, do exactly as you please!
