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

Fossil rosie here....flares, pink floyd. Just thought I'd drop by and say Hi. So hi. As a matter of interest, "wish you were here" or "dark side of the moon"?

depends on the mood at the moment for me ...oh sorry, you weren't speaking to me....i will just go get my cup of tea and finish up with some knitting i have, hhhhmmmm...might go better if i actually learned to knit first. they tell me that at my age i should be doing things like that but for the life of me i just can't seem to figure out how

I'm feeling dreadfuly confused here

Your confusion is forgiven.
An Agony Aunt that knits and listens to Pink Floyd? Sounds like my kind of lady (if lady it is — these days its diffilcult to say)

'Dark Side of the Moon" — I toured with the show in early 70's— can't be more specific, memory is failing you know — (see fossilisation occurs)
All I seem to remember is a gargantuan mirror-wheel being blasted with 10 'Super-Troupers', wonderful.

regards
Fossil

i am most def. a female ....and no i am not normal (as the Post keeps pointing out every chance they get LOL!!)...

Dear Aunt Agony,
Oh Good!!
I'm in need of a new towel — Do you take orders?

Perhaps a subtle shade of grey… to match my complexion.
A few pink dots arranged to suggest an improbability sum would be nice… then I wouldn't be so fearful of dark places and bathrooms.

Fossil

Dear Aunt Agony,

PS: Rosie might like one too!
PPS: My God!! You could make a fortune… GO FOR IT GAL!

my dear rosie...i think i can handle the towel and it should be no problem to add the pink dots, give me a bit of time to get used to these knitting needles (for some reason they just don't want to do what they are told ) and i will be right on it .
now for you my dear fossil...for some strange reason i am having difficulty with your order, perhaps it is because my hearing is going or maybe i am just dozing during the important parts (i tend to do that quite a bit here lately ). as for making a fortune, i'm not so sure about that...i mean what would i do with the money if i had it? a few years back maybe but now?? hhhhmmmmm, maybe i will find some use for it

Dear agony aunt,
Perhaps some nice monograms in the corner as well?
Fossil- thanks alot for the thought I was in the line for a new towel anyway as I seem to have worn mine out. That is I would of done if a slight accident with an infinate improbability drive hadn't resulted in it turning into a rather pathetic looking turnip. Not that urnips aren't perfectly nice in fact it was treribly nice but did in its eating laeve me rather toweless (not to mention still hungry).
I se you also freequent greebo's, see you there!

Scene but not Touched!?

Dear Rosie , would you please have a word with that senile old lady who can't hear very well for me?………Aunty Abalone or something.
Tell her that the money she makes from her tangled webs — grey with little pink spots and maybe a subtle hint of petunia in the corners (I'm sure Petunia won't mind… since her last date spread himself fashionably over the surface of Magrathea she's been a bit reclusive, poor thing, she can't seem to keep up with fashion trends these days)— she will be able to afford the most potent hearing-aid in existence!!

Yes, freequently a FREEquench is a available at Greebo's- we've never met though- probably a good idea- I might not survive the encounter, especially since you are on the dark-side whilst I am on the bright-side — which is how I like to view life (thanks to Brian), bathrooms are bad enough.

Am I on the dark side?
I purely said that I would defend his right to have a baby!
I'll have a word with aunty agonising about Petunia for you If you like but you'll probably end up being given a bowl of Petunias while she goes out to the Garden to plant towels!
but remember its not just a question of looking on the bright side of life its a question of walking on the sunny side of the street and making sure your umbrella is upside down when its raining pennys from heaven.
Tell Brian we have his sandal
love Rosie

Dark side of the PLANET, silly! There appears to be at least an eight hour time difference twixt postings, if my maths serve me right.
I am currently at Longtitude 102ºE so I calculate that you must be at Longtitude 0º'ish

I probably deserve the Petunias — I WAS rather offensive to the poor old dear, wasn't I? I feel awful! and she was kind enough to offer to knit you a towel, too.
You may be onto something there — if you could devise a method to GROW towels, then dear Aunty A wouldn't have to go through all the trauma of learning how to knit, would she?
Then VIOLA! YOU could make the fortune and buy Aunty A's hearing-aid for her!

Brian was delighted — he say's he'll drop by when next he's on this planet… and when I finally get a fix on your Latitude.
ROMFORD or MILTON KEYNES springs to mind immediately… but then I'm often wwrong… in this instance, I certainly hope so.

Actually its Rickmansworth.. It really is and thats not just an amusing reference to Fenchurch. I really do live in Rickmansworth. Nearish to London. I do know someone who lives in Milton Keynes actually, he's quite nice his name is louis. So you wern't that far off.
And you? Whats you latidude this fine day?

Tell Brian the best time is tuesdays after six and if he likes he can stay for lunch. i promise no salmon moose.

Going to the garden to plant towels
love Rosie

Are we getting into Mornington Crescent her, or what?

RICKMANSWORTH!!@@!! Gosh!! I have been led to believe that it was a place that people 'came from', not 'went to'. What a bummer after Paris. I sympathise with you and your plight.

PLIGHT — what an interesting word — sounds like something the Irish find on their potatoes at times of great famine.

My latitude is 4ºN — if you can work out the where of it… then you are welcome to pop round for tea; say tomorrow… 4:00pm OK? No later than 4:30 though otherwise Brian will have eaten all the turnips.

(Musing quietly to himelf…)

Rickmansworth — Poor Girl — I need a drink… think I'll go to greebo's.

Take care.

growing towels....now there's an idea....and we could use the roots to tie them to us so that we would not misplace them quite as easily .....
