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

Hi AR1
Just found your space during my lurking around. I'll come back on this thread later on.

Hi Mr. Ancient Brit!
You must also have reached my great age if you know that one of the perks is that one no longer pays for a TV licence!!
I am sorry that you missed my wonderful birthday party. In fact we continued it this weekend thanks to some dear friends.
I am now on the last quartile of my life. I feel, strangely enough, full of joy, happiness and enthusiasm. I cannot think why except that there is an added urgency to do the things that I somehow have not managed to do and have always wanted to do. Like going to the South Pole. Is that feasible.? I rather think not!. Going around the world by ship - only if I win the lottery - learning how to scuba dive. Really I think I should set myself more achievable goals dont you think. I am now going to your homepage to see who you are - and possibly if we share similar interests. apart from getting old rather eccentrically! Oh, but perhaps you are a very correct person and are getting old in a perfectly acceptable manner!!.
Regards
AR1

Sorry to have taken so long to come back but I suppose that at our age 2 weeks between posts is quite acceptable. Please drop the Mr. I go as AB most of the time. Glad you enjoyed your party, I didn't go on the Pub Crawl until it was over so unfortunately I missed it. With no disrespect intended you are the oldest researcher that I have come across on h2g2. Tommy Mac ( U216022 ) of BotF/WW2 fame stands proudly at 73. Read F111306?thread=246247 it tells a little about us. My interests in life are pretty normal. My wife and family come first and from there on I enjoy golf and my computer. I have had a quick look at your space and gather that you were with h2g2 before recently rejoining, it is a most fascinating place isn't it ? It has everything that a computer hobiest needs and I must confess that I get as much from lurking around as I do from contributing.
You imply that you are going to leave h2g2 again because you are going to South Africa, surely you can stay with h2g2 wherever you roam ?
See you around.
Ancient Brit
