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

Welcome to the H2G2 beach, where there's always sun, sea ,sand and surf, and hopefully a few wonderful people to meet.
I'd like to remind you all that this is a HRASC area, so no swimming costumes or the sharks'll get you!



But sit back, relax, and enjoy the swimming.

Sharks my fanny!
I am not going to let this uncontrollable bodymass go uncontrolled!
*Plants her parasol firmly in the sand, way out of reach of any suicidal sharks and whatnots*

-B-

Urm... Fair enough
So, welcome to the beach for the second time Bumblebee.

(Hmm, if it is uncontrollable, why not let it be uncontrolled? Or is that an impolite question...?)

<BB<

I'm not going to answer that.

*tips down her sunglasses and looks around*
Is it possible to get a drink here on the beach?

*pours *

Here you go.

Yuo see - it's amazing what you can get on a beach.
We've even got a barbecue around on a different thread, but this one is all about sitting back and relaxing on a beach.

*Pr. C. Tonks comes walking down the Beach, just on one of his strolls, and notices some people. Before they see him, he quickly presses a button on his Watch and goes invisible...*
*Erm, that's including him and the clothes...*

Is it just me, or is a digital watch floating about over there?
It's not DD and one of his SEP fielded JCBs again, I hope.

Yoo-hoo everybody!
Why have you moved the Beach?

Hiya!
I moved the beach as at 500 posts, it was a little long, and sometimes it's nice to get a new perspective on things. The last beach thread wasn't overly beachy

<BB<

*splish splash*
Shall I unsubscribe from the other thread then?
*glub glub*
AquaMarina the Mermaid

You can if you want to, but I don't expect many people will use it much anymore.
They can all find a happy home here.

<BB<

*splish splash*
well I am happy here!
*glub glub*
AquaMarina the Mermaid

I'm glad.
So, what do you think of the beach? Nice place for a swim?

Do mermaids build sandcastles?

<BB<

*splish splash*
I love this beach!
And if you show me how, I'd love to build a sandcastle!
I never venture far out of the water though.
There are a lot of cats and Pirates in h2g2!
And though I can swim very fast in water, on land I am like....erm....a fish out of water?
*glub glub*

Okay, if you're able to go onto the shore a little, I'll help you build one. We don't have to go that far from the water's edge if you don't want to - or we could build a sandcastle with a very wide moat around it that you can swim along if that'd help?
Don't worry - you're safe from s and s here.

<BB<

*splish splash*
Ooh! A big one with a moat sounds fantastic!
Can I stay in the water until the moat is filled?
Then you can carry me to the moat, and I can help you build the sandcastle!
I'll go get some interesting shells!
Thanks, Bluebottle!
Watch out for and !

*The Pofessor hits his Watch for not making itself invisible as well, and it goes invisible..*
*He wonders over to where they are building sancastles, and watches, silently...*

I could have sworn I saw a watch floating about, oh well - must have been my eyes playing tricks.

But yes, AquaMarina, you can stay in the water until the moat is filled, and I can dig a channel from the sea to the moat so that you don't even have to be carried there, but can swim to and from the castle and sea as you wish.
*Starts digging the channel and moat*
