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

As I've now moved up to Leeds, I thought to seek you out. Actually, I lie, I was in the process of organising a Leeds meet, when someone reminded me that I was actually in Flat Cap and Muffler territory these days.

Firstly, may I join your illustrious society, and secondly, is anyone interested in a meet (see A20629622)?

I'll nominate you

Seconded.

Hurrah! :D

And duly added t'throng, welcome chuck, there's an old tradition in these parts when we sign up a new member:





Your round in t'Bar

Pint o' Robinson's mild please

I'll get in there an' get my out.

*pours drinks*

*gets ice for those not indulging in an *

So, I take it these meets should all be named after vegetables?

Happen so. It's a good, old-fashioned, pointless tradition.

oo yeh, nother vegetable nomenclatured meet the Leeds... legume? the Leeds Leek?

Have we done rhubarb yet? I nominate Rhubarb.

And would that meet be in Wakefield where they grow it, or Ramsbottom where they don't, Mr Clive?

Actually we just have some rhubarb growing in the backgarden is all- s'why I thought of it.

Is there anyone in the north that doesn't grow Rhubarb? We must get the stuff together to try and make up some rhubarb wine sometime. The rhubarb grows very well in the garden and could make a very nice dry slightly blush, white wine.

you could loose a small child under the leaves of ours- they're huge!

Mi mother makes a marvellous rhubarb crumble an' custard wi' plenty o' ginger in t'crumble. Can't wait 'til our next visit .
