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

You must be joking! It never rains in Hyde Park no matter what the subversives want you to think Mudslicks are unknown in Britain as is unseasonably cold weather. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be reported to the authorities immediately!

Joe aka Arnia

Big brother fishies

I'm going to try and get there.
I've got a ticket for the Buena Vista Social Club gig at the Albert Hall later in the day so I won't be able to stay late.
Did we agree on a meeting place?
Oh yes, Hyde Park.
That'll be easy then.
I won't be in superhero gear so it may be harder to spot me.

I know, I know, I know!

We just walk up to someone who looks likely and say "Aitchtu"
If they say "Jeetu" then we know they're one of us!
If they say "Bless you" just say "Thankyou" and walk on

Simple!

Or we could each carry a fish...

Would I have to have it in my ear?

*considers this*

Could be a bit messy

Well last time I was in Hyde Park was for the relays and it sure was muddy off the paths, ie where you had to warm up.

Subversive!!! *screams for assistance from Greebo*

As for where should we meet at the Albert Memorial?

I'm on mobile 0467 225365

Good point, we'll need an initial meet point then someone's going to have ot be contactable as we move on from there.

I've already said that at 1pm I'd be at speakers corner. Complicated Huh. And then I expect my mobile will be dead cos I've been posting my phone number everywhere.

Should we contact the police to increase the numbers?

I would say meet at Speaker's Corner since we will blend in better there

What we'd all have to bring laptops or WAP phones to 'fit in' at Speakers Corner.

Just as long as someone remembers to bring a bat and ball

Haven't you ever played Arnia's Air Rounders? You don't need bat nor ball... just a VERY good imagination and a strong cup of tea.

Won't we all have to give updated versions of mobile phone numbers. There won't be any starting with 04. They're all 07 or something now aren't they?

Mine already is.

Mine is too... has been for a while.

If people want my phone number then they have to ICQ me for it. I have recently had a set of threatening prank calls and am not in the mood for more.

Absolutely - I agree. Obviously you can all do what you want but I think it is very unwise to give out your mobile number on what is a very public forum. I am only guessing but I am sure that the rest of the Editorial team would agree.

Hence the reason some of us haven't yet.

i hate to sound offputting but i don't have a mobile, i always thought them somewhat townie things but the thought of one of those you can get h2g2 on does excite me a little
