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

Hello everybody! Come in, make yourselves at home!

Hmmmm, I think I might start advertising this place in my ACEly duties......
BCNU - Crescent

Is this the right place? Do I pick up a nametag at the front desk, or what?

You want a newbie, you got a newbie. Howdy, folks.

Hi! This is the place... there's tea (ironically enough) and cake, and you'll need to put this fish in your ear.

@) ::putting fish in ear:: Ah, that's much better! Now, was that "Tea & cake or death!" or just an offer of refreshment?

Just an offer of refreshment... it's extremely bad manners to kill the newbies. Especially in their first week.

Thanks. You're much more kind than some folks I've met online. Some of them will target you for death for something as silly as forgetting to use a semicolon!

Where is everyone this week? Has the fuel shortage hit h2g2 as well?

Hello Justin... this is actually quite a busy week by recent standards!

Hi Guys!
I know I left it for a bit late in the week...but I'm here now with a fish in my ear and all.

Hello Monster, can I get you anything? Cup of tea? Cake?

I'd like a cup of tea please, since I only got a piece of cake last time. Does being here 3 weeks still count as a newcomer?

You do seem to go to a lot of trouble for all these newcomers who never show up , don't you?

Yes, but if we didn't, then 40,000 newcomers would show up demanding cake and there'd be nobody here for them.

Haven't you thought of a more interesting name yet, R151102?

A cup of tea would be nice thank you. I'll pass on the cake though, as I just ate lunch.
Is everyone looking forward to the weekend?

Hi guys.

Not as much as I'm looking forward to Monday, but that's just me

*pours tea for Monster*

Careful, it's hot..

Hi Lisa, what's happening on Monday?

People have to get back to work, it's the end of a few days of relaxing, you know

Hi everybody, just thought I'd stop and drop by. How are we doing?

Oh look - you lot run this place far better then I do!

*blushes*
*realises nobody has set up a Welcome thread for this week's newcomers yet*

Hello all.

I'm new ~flutters eylashes~

This sounds silly but how do you get one of those happy face things?

Where are all the people?

Is there always a time delay of a couple of hours between conversations?

Am I asking too many questions?
