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

Just to be clear, I'm not ignoring the people saying hello to me, I'm just sitting back and following the conversation so that I don't spoil the flow by posting something that could potentially derail the whole thing.

Like this, really.

Hello everyone.


Geggs

Geggs, don't worry about it, sometimes there can be several conversations happening at once!

She must be fine with internet weirdoes, she knows our very own Mr.D

And Hypatia, this is the only meet that matters

Pastey, all h2g2 meets are fun. Big ones, small ones and all sizes in between. I will be jealous of all those attending.

But this one will have *me* there

I am not likely to be able to make it over for February, but I am planning to make it to that part of the world ("that part" being the British Isles in general) in the next year or so.

*sips *

Don't make me list all the reasons why I can't come to the Manchester meet.

Geggs, welcome to the atelier! Please don't be afraid of the backlog -- there are lots of people here saying lots of things. On the same note, please don't be offended if nobody seems to respond to a comment you make -- everyone has heard you but may not have a response at the time, or they may not remember what they would have said by the time they get to the reply window.

Anything else you want to know about this place, you'll find at our forum page, A304354 .

I wish there was some way we could see the conversation we're replying to, while we're replying to it.

Welcome Geggs.

Mr D. you and Mrs D really *have* to come. It's been five years since I met you.

I've written an entry!! I've written an entry!!

The Atelier is back to normal! I last posted 3 hours ago and had a 45 post backlog when I came back!

this video is so cool -- look at the owl's feathers! Its expression!

Point us to it so we can take the mickey...erm constructively comment

Manchester meet could be my very first one!

PE. You're so right about early text speak. We used it from the aircraft to the operator on the ground if it was direct stuff. Proper messages followed a strict format.

Candi, call the phone company or check their website. O2 unlocked my iPhone for free.

HELLO Geggs!! Nice to meet you.

Mags, I knew you were an ardent gamer, but blimey! How many gaming toys

*A young mammoth wanders into the salon*

Hello

Eats, I've been gaming as long as I can remember, I forgot some as well. I still have a Snes and an N64 (now that really ages me )

>> Or is she scared of internet weirdos?

Hardly. She came to stonehenge with a a a and a flapper

Ok, she was already *married* to the , but even so...

Hallo little mammoth! Are you any relation to Woolly Mammoth, who used to post here?

Speaking of Mrs. D, I don't even think the promise of her rock cakes could get me over there in February. I'm trying to get out of debt so I can retire.

The mammoth sits down..and looks confused.

Someone seems to recognize me.

I have only just left the Roslin insitutue where I was brought up by a nice so I thought I was one of them. But now Ben has said I'm not a cat. I did wonder why I was so much bigger.

We have a smiley?

Welcome Geggs and Mammoth!
