3 February 2005: We're on the Move
The H2G2 Editors Started conversation Feb 3, 2005
Just a reminder that we're moving from offices - from our current base in Central London to work alongside our colleagues in West London - tomorrow. Any moderation issues that arise from tomorrow will not be addressed until Monday (7th February). Thank you in advance for your patience.

In the old European tradition (and a la It's A Wonderful Life) here's:
...so you may never go hungry.
...so life may alway have flavour. 
...so you may always have laughter.
...but then that just points out the pressing necessity of creating bread and salt smilies, doesn't it? 
Enjoy your new digs!

Have fun...
... 'They' (whoever 'they' are!) say it is the second most stressful time of your life, so if it gets too much the 237 bus takes 30 mins to get to The Express Tavern, Kew Bridge Station, Brentford (Kew North By Thames) where I'll treat you to a relaxing 
or .
Hope it all goes well.....

Bye guys! Safe journey! Hope your PCs make it with you!
I'll see you there in a few weeks time. My team are on the last bus out.

I hope it all goes well. Lots of boxes 
to unpack when you get there but you'll soon have it sorted. Put me down as a potential visitor as soon as I can work out where you are.
Is still the plan to have unisex loos?

Of course, as I am not even a little bit talented in carpentry, the boat will surely sink right away. 
Fortunately, I am a good swimmer.

...Unfortunately it's a long way...
This is beginning to sound like a good news, bad news joke. 
It's a shorter distance for me to head East to get there, but only if I go over the poles.
I think I'll stay warmer if I just slip into Coal Harbour and swim around Vancouver Island, SW to the Indian Ocean, through the Canal and then a short spurt to Gibralter. Will you meet me there?

Mu Beta Posted Feb 3, 2005
Ah, yes. Reminds me of the old tale of the Scottish lady who rings her cousin in British Columbia, all excited that her son is going to Canada.
"...his boat gets in at 7pm at Halifax. Can you meet him there?"
"You meet him. You're closer."
