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

Of course you could run all the way into the woods... and then you would run all the way out of it again...

When you reached the half way point...

Ok, one more time. Here's a little scenario:

You and I are standing in the middle of a field, there are woods at the far end. You run into the woods. From MY perspective, you just ran all the way into the woods, no matter how deep into the woods you ran. I will now drop the subject.

This smacks of a riddle ... "How can one run all the way by running halfway?" ... "Into the woods, of course" or a building, warehouse, yard, etc.

~Greebo scratches her head~

Welcome back, Greebo!

Here is a Krispy Kremex doughnut (all the rage in the States, lately) for you, and one for Courtney for filling in.

Why thankyou d'Elephant... tis just what me needs... ~grin~... shall me look after Courtney's... ~sly grin~... me has a very good place to keep it...

In your tummy?

Welcome back, Greebo. Hope you modem feels better.

Er... my tummy seems like a good place... ~grin~

Hmmm... my modem does not like me a lot now me thinks... maybe Pledge was not a good thing to use to clean it...

Aagh!
I can't see Wednesday 1st November's page, yet it was there earlier!
Anyone else have this problem?
*hopes it's not just her*

I cannot see the page either. Perhaps it is overloaded with smilies again?

No wait! it's back. Take the "&latest=1" off of the URL and it loads ok.

I did that, got the page up to post 20, but when I tried to read the post after mine...got another blank page! thanks for your help!
Any ideas how we can view the second page?
I noticed another page earlier was showing "XML ERRORS" I hope we're not heading for a shutdown?

Yes, I see what you mean. It's gone again.

But now this works:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F51431&thread=85621&skip=0&show=25
I suppose we can just keep changing that final number.

that link didn't work for me, sorry, and now I am getting "XML ERRORS" all over the place

Ahem!
Excuse me Greebo, but see Wednesday 8th November. I pointed out in post 11 that you had the question round the wrong way and yet you awarded the mark to the person who said so in post 14.
Ever seen a fish sulk?
I'll just sit here and drink all the bolly.

Pssst, Coely. Wasn't that your 2nd answer? Only 1st answers count, remember? And pass the please.

*looks at the floor and shuffles fins*
Um, well, yes, I suppose it was. But still....
half a point?
*passes the bolly bottle over, but it is nearly empty*

Hmmmmmmm
I am sulking too, as a few people thought *my* answer was correct.

*Passes the bottle over to GB*
HIC!

Cheers!
hic...ooooooo!
