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

There's a storm overhead: I had better come offline for a bit!
I'll be back.

Hullo again folks. I am just popping in, and am amazed to see you are still going. Hope no-on gets hit by lightening! Anyway, if he comes back on, happy time in Oz Mr. Q. I'm off to watch my latest purchase, a Dangermouse video. Woohoo!! I'll go and have a look at the backlog too. Enjoy the hangovers!

*finally able to get back, albeit shortly, hastens to bar and grabs glass of... ?

Is the guest of honor still here? Quarthon, here's to you! *raises glass and drains it*

Got to go-bad weather...Later! *hurries away from the party*

*rushes in*

Looks like I've missed several threads... Oh well - I'm back here now... Anyone still around???

*hurries back in, puffing from jogging over from the Cafe*

Hi, Alien. How's the party going? *looks around, sees it's thinned out a bit, decides to peruse the last thread*

I think the party's going great!!

*looks at all the silent people around*

On second thought, I'm not so sure...

*decides not to peruse the last thread again*

Then there's no better time to have a large drink and a little snack! Ampton-Single Malt, thank you.

*food!*

*Walks wearily in, grabs a beer and some of the snacks which are left and plonks down on the sofa.*

Sorry for missing most of the party, but I've been out all day and just got back. Had a most wonderful but tiring time doing most of a scuba course

Now to leave work and go home to bed!

Sounds exciting, Phil. Are you diving in deep water?

*enters refreshed from the Guest quarters*
Hello all! Hey QMike, I know your out there, I can see you in the who's online window Anyway, if you don't stop by before you go, have a good one from me. Here's a wee prezzie, btw. It's a multifunction penknife. I found it invaluable when I was over in Oz, though what use it will be in Urban life, other than opening bottles of wine. perhaps you could carve your name on the side of something,
you know, leave your mark
Kick some Aussie butt for me
*wanders over to bar and helps himself to a bottle of Flying Scotsman beer and a Laphroaig Single MAlt chaser*

*jingle-ingle**enters smiling-has bells on shoelaces*
Hi, all.
*notices WM has refreshed the carrot cake plate-scampers over to table*
*jinga-jing-a-ling-a-linga-ting-a-ring-ding*

OK, OK! *grins as removes bells-notices Odra's pack and puts them in*

*scoops up remainder of cake and heads for defensible location*

Did I miss Bon Voyage (3) never mind pass me the drink so I can make up for it.

*mumph-mumble-mufflemph**swallows mightily*
ahhhhh. Good stuff.

Haven't read the guest book in it's entirety, now all the cards and notes from well wishers. Did see a thing or three that caught my eye, tho.

Didn't catch list of proposed names but, was Rosie (of the Jetsons) tendered?

Thought I saw somebody shaken, not stirred, earlier and I believe I read something recently about (of all things) martinis having more antioxidents (or healthful benefits or something or other) when shaken rather than stirred.

Geez, I just can't comprehend the mindset that went into funding that particular bit of research.

Ok, so it was only two. Sue me.

Is there any of that milk left?

*reapears direct from thread one*
My this pint has lasted a long time
Why is it every time I try to come over here theres an alabaster quake?
*Hope its not me causing it (the curse of the test engineer )*

*quickly goes over to the barrels and refills glass whilst the going is good*

Hmm Qmike seems to have gone and I assume Lil is still thunderstruck, (I hope thats not literally).

I wonder if Qmike going to the same bit of Oz as Bruce resides in that could be an interesting RL meeting you never know what tricks the nipper could come back with

*heads back to the bar*

Ampton, you're the best. Another Single Malt, please, with a sidecar of irony.

Hi jr, and welcome DD
Yup, QMike has been and gone again, Lil appears to have ducked back throught to her private apparments for a while, but the foods still good and the drink is still plentiful.
So how goes it today DD?

Babel surely that is just Welcome back I ws in 1 and 2.

It goes fine. Thanx for asking. So the lad is in the Air at present then.

Well he's probably on the way to the launch pad.
I wonder if Oz imigration read this site? if so he might be in for an interesting interview

Indeed.

*Waves at any nice immigration people who may be watching*

*finishes beer*
Time for me to depart
So bye all
