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

Yes, just when you thought it was safe to return to h2g2! Hello dear, long time, no smiley! , I mean

This is just a quick visit to play with the new smileys. I've updated my home page too, for a change.

And now I suppose I really ought to try to get some work done... See you later.

Good to see your much awaited return

I can now catch a too and have an 80s I'm going to avoid the though, not my scene. I think I'll just read and suck a Mmm ?

How long have these fab new s been around, then? I can see the novelty hasn't worn off yet.

I think I'm in a mode today. Altogether now: "At first I was afraid, I was petrified. Kept thinking I could not research without you by my side. And then I spent so many months working it out all by myself and I grew strong! I learnt that I could get along! And so you're back from USA, you just looked in to see me at my desk and working hard all day. I should have written it all up, should have indexed from A to Zee if I'd have known for just one second my log books would baffle me! Please let me go, walk out that door, go back to Ashford 'cos I can't do this anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to tell me I'd be fine? You think I'd manage, you think I'd finish on time? Oh no, not I! I need more time! I might be done by Christmas if the nice results arrive. I've got all this work to do and somehow make it make sense too. I need more time! I need more time! Hey, hey!"

I think I really need to do some work, or lie down, or seek medical attention , or something...

Right, off I go.

Don't panic! trust me, I'm a Hmm, serious case of withdrawel Hmmm I recomend a course of one a day before lunch

Oh dear I think Angelfeet has an acute case of diva-itis. It's true, on palpation her gland feels enlarged thus resulting in spontaneous outbursts of , this is particularly aggravated by stress.

I don't know how long the smileys have been around, I've not been around much either I love them though.

Me girl

I'm not sure what I'd be using for

Bag of with your 2legs?

Good lord, this is just like the old days, 2legs, deackie and Angelfeet talking about itis and waving random pieces of fruit. Jolly good.

I adore the smiley, it's so me.

According to my supervisor, now returned from his travels, I should be a non-medical in a matter of months, with it mostly over by . That's an idea, I could become a lumberjack!

But now I must away and do some work. Alas, alack, etc.

! It's time for my pills.
