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

Something tells me Jimster won't be stepping away from his desk for so much as a nanosecond for the foreseeable.

Which is going to be nasty for the rest of the office when the morning's works its way through the system...

*clicks heels together* 'I believe, I believe I believe'

You are a rotten lot!

Really? I rather thought that the probelm was we were getting too fresh.

I told that 'joke' to someone, and they actually laughed!

Were they sober at the time?

what does 'sobre' mean?

I'm not sure, but I was enquiring about being 'sober' .

Isn't it a type of sword?

B

Well, it can certainly be as painful as one, in my experience...

I love the way journals can 'topic drift'. It's great to come back to conversations that have veered in another direction. It's like at a party when you step aside to get the sausage rolls out of the oven and come back to find they're all talking about something else.

You have parties that involve food that isn't potato based and comes in bags? My, aren't we the pish one?

Would I be right in assuming that was a typo and not a Glaswegian insult?

Oh. Oops. That's the second time this week I've made an unfortunate typo in a post directed at an Italic.

*preview is your friend, preview is your friend*

Novice! You're supposed to do it deliberately and then pretend it was a typo.

B

Nah. More fun just to insult them directly. I'm a long way from London
