Hey ho people! I know I'm not *really* new (joined last week), but I just thought I'd drop by and see how you all are. Judging by the fact that no-one else is here, I suppose you're all doing so well that you don't need to visit things like thissmiley - smiley! Either that or you are having problems finding this page...smiley - sadface

Ah - I've only just put it up. I've now put a front page link to it, so I expect more people will be along shortly.

Welcome to the Guide Justin. How are you finding it so far?

I'm finding it pretty goodsmiley - smiley although I sometimes have a tendency to get a little carried away with the smiley - smiley's.

Oh yeah - why is this toilet only for new users? Do the old users have their own toilet, or just incredibly good bladder control? Answers on a postcard, please...

Ah - so it's just a toilet for the people who haven't *yet* been done. But why is there only one? Surely the queues must build up during the day? And the smell must be pretty awful too!

Interesting isn't it -- we're only a few entries down a perfectly sensible thread and already the topic's off along some weird tangent. Very typical for H2G2, I'd say (not that it worries me - on the contrary! smiley - smiley)

A short "hi" to everybody smiley - fish

HELLO ALL COMERS! New and Old! I think Peta's done a great job here, I think the page is great and I hope it takes off! Anyhow, as I've just dropped in to say "hi" and to relieve myself...

Have a fish, everyone smiley - fish

Yeah, this page is great. I hope it will make ACEing a bit easier - not that I'm not going to drop by people's home pages of course.

Hi to you both. Did you see the lunar eclipse? Cloud blocked it out in the UK I heard...

Didn't see it myself - I was fast asleep. *ZZZzzzzz...*
The sky seemed pretty clear before I wen to bed, though. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did suddenly cloud over for those hours of the eclipse.
