Batty, ACE

hello batty, owner of many titles. i am somewhat overwhelmed by your list of links and may just peruse htwo gtwo at my leisure, through people who are on the "who's online" list. i saw your message was full of lots of pretty pictures regarded by the more corporate of us as emoticons. how do put them in my messages?

Nho

i bet my pardon for not reading your original message fully

Hi Nho!

No problem. Just in case you missed it the smileys page is here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/smiley

If English isn't your primary language you may also try the Terran Embassy: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A473898

If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Funnily enough i am not foreign. I'm English. I have been for all my life and all my parent's lives. And so have they. Been English that is. We are about as english as english can be. not that i am especially proud of that. I have at times wanted to be foreign and in real life have been mistaken for an Italian. Nevertheless you concern is taken warmly, and i thank you for trying to help.

Nho is the spelling of my preferred pronounciation of 'no'.

Thats okay.. we can say you're foreign. Where would you like to be from?

Myself, I'm an odd combination (as are most Americans). I'm German and Cherokee. Go figure.

wow. thanks. i'd like to be, err *ponders*.... from the Caribbean. Barbados perhaps. Yes, i'd like to be a Barbadian.

Barbados sounds promising... perhaps you should join our ship, 'The Blood of the Zaphodistas' and suggest we stop there at some point...

'the blood of zaphodistas'?!?! sounds positively alarming. you have a ship? goodness. does it have a big mast? only i'm very particular about mast sizes.

teehee... you'll uh.. have to ask Pierce

here is the page for the ship: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A579684 then you just go to the Captain's Quarters to sign up..
