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

I know it's early, but we haven't had a proper, well attended meet for ages, so I think we should pull out all the stops to make this a memorable one.

May 12th ok for everyone?

I mis-read that. I thought it said "well tender meat".


Don't mind me.

Is it OK if I plan to come then whimp out at the last minute? I've got a good track record at that sort of thing.

(not Scottish but currently got Shang-A-lang in my head)

Like you did last year, you mean?

Along those lines, yeah.

You've got plenty of time to save up y'know And remember, booze is cheaper here in Scotland - cos we make it all!

I'll put it on my calendar, but like Roymondo I often wimp out at the last minute. Depends on so many thing you see.

I'm still terribly unsure about this 'man in sky' thing. It's wrong I tell ya!

Get a train then

But it takes bloody ages, costs a lot and goes through ... *shudder* ... Newcastle.

If you book it now instead of spending all your cash on Amazon so you can ogle at your postie, you could get a cheaper ticket - and you could also book an express train that doesn't stop at The Toon

But that would involve ... *shudders again* ... forward planning.

Don't make me come down there Mr Mondo! *rolls up sleeves and starts swinging her fists threateningly*

On the other hand, you'd fit into the SRG just fine with an attitude like that

Bloody Mackems. Why don't you just get a Virgin train up the west coast and then you don't have to go anywhere near Newcastle?

Weegieland !!!!

I thought Virgin trains were a tad random & rubbish, or have I been a bit too quick to believe that devil bloke. You know, the creepy one off Watchdog.

They're better than GNER. They're British owned, for one

12th May is a week after the elections so aye That me alright wi' me.

I'll see what I can do. We're planning on biffing up to Scotland sometime this year anyway.
