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

My life changed forever the day I joined h2g2; I have met most of my closest friends here and I also ended up married to a fellow researcher. h2g2 therefore holds many memories for me and this incarnation will always hold a place in my heart. As sad as I am that the BBC is letting h2g2 go, I'm also very excited about its new home and think we have given our wonderful community a new lease of life.

I've also been asked if I'd like to be a Guru, which I have accepted, so if any of you 'orrible lot get stuck with the new site just give me a poke

So long BBC servers, and thanks for all the fish

Not so lucky to find my life partner here, but I did get a job which meant I could buy a house. Something I never in a million years thought I'd do. and nearly a decade later, I've managed to hang on to it! More than I did any fella.

You're welcome to mine - he snores

I remember hoping from thread to thread, not knowing what I was doing or where I was going...

Then I found a lovely friendly conversation going on in what turned out to be Serephina's journal. You both chatted with me for a long time, and I've never forgotten your friendship to a complete stranger.

Now look where I am!.. Thank you!

Glad to be of service! And I'm happy you stuck around

Has anyone seen the hatstand? I don't need to wear my Aussie hat here and the corks keep getting caught in the keyboard.
