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

* currently being renovated*

Would you borrow a screwdriver, Linus? +

*Drops in on her way to the Figurehead...*

Hi Linus! Welcome aboard, mate! Do you have an assignment?

We're supposed to get an assignment? Gee, I just seem to be sipping with the Captain in my cabin ... hmmm...

That sounds like a pretty tough assignment to me Shea

I prefer to remain unassigned at this stage...

It must be unasign of the times .... all these people with no work to do .... Hi Linus! Welcome aboard!

Oh, Kes ...

*strolls by*

Not to worry, mates, I just gave Linus here a very tough assignment

I was curious to see who would claim #42 for his/her own. I might have guessed it would be you, Linus - welcome aboard!

I was surprised it was still vacant actually.

Cellarmaster Pierce?

What on earth made you think i was qualified for that

Finding the Coopers Dark wasn't a problem. I'm not sure if keeping it all in the one place is a good idea though. I might move half of it somewhere else for safekeeping. Now let me think...a large vacant space, preferably cooled...hmmm, i might have to move it up here once i finish building the bar/cooler room against the wall over there.

Sounds jolly good! D'you think you could find space for a couple of kegs of English ale, Linus?

I'm sure i will be able to maintain a veritable united nations of beers Kes

Jolly good. I think some Adnams would travel well .... and some of their bottled strong ale (Broadside) would be appropriate

Since you have Cabin 42, Linus, do you also have all the answers? Cause there are some things that I would like to know... Like, why is Australian football so different from the rest of the world? And how come people can't get tails cloned on if they want them? Huh? Actually, I'd love it if we all had skin like an octopus, that flashed colors according to our emotions. HA! Wouldn't that be something? Nothing left hidden anymore. Do you have a nice large vt about? We could discuss these things in comfort. And clouds! Have you noticed how lovely and fluffy they look, but when you fly into them they are all bumpity bumpity? How come?

The answer to all those questions are contained within this (rather large and soon to be luxurious) cabin. All you need to do is consume enough or and the answers will become apparent.

Remembering them the next day is the hard part

I'll make a start on part one of the process with an or two ...and worry about the second part another time. What was it again?

Something about Mari having trouble flying through clouds i think...probably just needs to update her broom

She could always ask YP, the cannoneer. He has just shot himself through a number of clouds

About that beer-hold thingy, Linus. I was wondering: Why don't you just this as a guest room and live in one of the holds? There are plenty of them. And as you'll know some of them are extremely large.

Linus! You and I are going to be friends in this forum, or I am going to have to haul off and give you a good . I may do it anyway, you need a good



Here, let me fill up your glass with Cooper's Dark.

friends? ...well i'll try anything once

Pierce, i will be living on the mezzanine level. The ground floor will have the bar and cooler room at one end. There will be bar stools and a number of comfy couches and lounge chairs. Also a pool table at the back.

The mezzanine will be reached by stairs and will be screened for privacy, apart from the balcony which will look over the bar. It will be guarded by my Australian cattle ...it will, of course have a bbq on it.

I told you it was a big room

When we rode elephants we were friends, remember? and before that we were friends inside a whale's tummy.

*Looks around admiringly* This is fantastic! Would you like any wall murals painted in here?
