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

one of the gardening supplies websites from which i receive email newsletters has just sent one offering me a "Rechargeable Wheelbarrow only £99.95!". One of its features is a cup holder.

nice

I wondered whether rechargeable means you can keep refilling it.

A cup holder you say? Well that puts your barrow one feature up on my car. And at less than a hundred quid, it's probably more valuable than my car as well

You have a coxcomb?

Be handy for getting you home from the pub anyway - I say get it

I want one!!!

Sorry Grey, I didn't see you there.
The question was directed at HappyDude.

Your car probably goes a tad further before it needs recharging though? And it can hold more?

I was wondering whether the rechargeable component was the man pushing it, hence the cupholder.

Do you really Incog? 'cos I don't think they'd allow me to give you the link here.

Ooh, ... guess what Lurch bought me on Wednesday.

*waves to McKay, who appears to have eyes today.*

hiya. How's life in the looney-bin?

I'm out on care in the community - who let you back online ?

Did he buy you a ball gown ?

A new laptop ? (Hence your return.)

A longer lead so you can reach the keyboard ?

Nah, I've got a cordless keyboard now. That's why it's so hard to communicate. You have to get it at just the right angle...
and then it falls off the bed

(I'm only on now because I'm updating AVG, Ad-Aware and Spybot on Owl's new pooter - oo-er, spybot's just offered to make a registry backup for me. Should I let it?)

he bought me summat much better than all those


I'll give you a clue - it's green, with a black top and it has a capacity of 22 gallons. (and he's just bought it some grey accessories too)

A silage maker?

Its a portaloo

Nah, he bought me 3 plastic compost bins in the summer(well, one of them was free - from the council) - to go with the three he built from pallets.


And the portaloo is still in a packing case in the shed....


A proper water-butt AND some guttering and a downpipe.

I know - "Little things please little minds"

(Trouble is he's just discovered he needs a couple of bendy bits so he's had to leave the job half done till next weekend.)

Its a brewery

I suppose it is actually, if I put in comfrey leaves or nettle tops. = liquid fertiliser huh?

Micro$oft are taking over the world!

They've already changed the number of minutes in an hour. When I started to download Service Pack 2 yesterday they told me it would take 3 hours and 60 minutes.

Where next?

Spatial distortions?

Micro$oft have always had their own distortions - time being one of them

It's easier to go on line and make 'em send you the free SP2 CD - they really will you know
