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

Congratulations to you and Ginger on your engagement!! Best wishes to you both Doug.

Well done sir. Very pleased for you both. Any plans made?

Hi Merkin, thanks. At the moment, as you can imagine, everying is up in the air, but I'm sure we'll start sorting things out soon and of course, we'll make sure we keep our friends on H2G2 up to speed!

Oh, hi, sorry I haven't been around, but congrats all the same. We always thought you'd be the first H2G2 marriage, and now you're one step closer (don't mean to scare you or nothing)

If you scare him you will have me to deal with and I own a rounders bat! How did the exams go? Are you still a university student?

Hey, just call me the comeback kid, yeah
Eight resits and I'm still a student. I'm not about to get cocky or anything though. I need to work this year.
In all I passed half of my subjects, but the pass marks were good enough to drag up the other half. 49% overall for my first year.
I'm well pleased

I bet you are. I should think a summer of working has probably made you want to put off the fateful day you become a useful member of society as long as possible!

Working? Who do you take me for
I'm a STUDENT god-dammit.
I think I'll make a living out of it. Any vacancies for a professional student?

I think you will find most universities have positions fitting that description but competition is fierce!

Hey, it's just like the good old times. Me doing no work and distacting you from doing work too. God bless H2G2 and all who sail in her

I know! I miss Doug being on here because I used to distract him from his work! It is good to see things are back to normal then! BTW I thought it was me distracting you from studying!

Let's just agree that h2g2 distracts everybody.
Where is Doug at the moment then? Did he have his internet access revoked at work, because he was being distracted too easily?

No! He is just extremely busy and so h2g2 has taken low priority especially as any spare time he does have is spent emailing me!

Oh dear, so you *are* a distraction then.
Any idea when the next event will be. A christmas party perhaps

Someone else has to take over that now but I believe Peta may be doing it!

What's the matter? Pressure got too much from the previous event?

I believe I was on the winning team! But no the pressure from that event wasn't too much but I am orgainising an event of my own now, don't forget. Also when I originally organised it there was no community editor to do it for us!

There were no winners in that game. (I'm resolutely believing that because I wasn't on the winning team, and I got caught marvellously way, way in the outfield )

So, is it the Community Eds responsibility to organise events, or just attract information to them?

And have you set a date yet, or is it still too early?

It's on my home page but yes we have - 9/9/00. And we found the place.
