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

Hello Cal....

How are you today?

Nice to meet you and do some semi-serious relaxing Roleplay in the forest...

My name is Peter and nice to meet you mate

*jumps*

Hello come in have a cup of or do you prefer ?

Well I shall have to find some cookies Just a sec

*goes over to a large cupboard near the window, opens it, it is filled to the brim with several varities of cookie, he pullsout a packet and empties the cookies out on to a plate*

Help yourself

Cheers mate and I am a person myself.

*takes a seat and grabs a cookie*

sorry for startling you and I hope you don't mind me popping over?

No No

I went away from hoo2 for a while and when I came back all my friends had either left or didn't have the time to drop by so hardly anyone comes by now. So you're not infringing or anything.

*Hands him the plate of cookies*

thanks...

*munches on cookies*

So I see from the ID number you have been around for a bit but are new to the shadow realm... Nice to meet you.

I am FS, Flamestrike or Pete...

How are you today mate?

fine

I'm trying to explain to my dad how to open his e-mails over the phone and it's very trying

I bet.... well at least he isn't asking you to setup the e-mail account or have you had to do that already??????

Up until yesterday he was sending e-mails from my house (he just writes the things so I use the term 'sending' loosly, I went to pick him up yesterday and he told me he wanted to buy his own computer. So off we go get him a dell, I set the whole thing up for him put him on AOL and show him how to get access to the syetem etc. My final parting words were do you want me to write it down for you. No he says I'll manage o.k. Which results in the half hour phone call I've just had with him, what makes matters worse is I have never used aol so I don't really know how everything appears in their browser.

Are you based in England? If so completly different from any other web page ever... It is set up like it is a website for children with all pretty colours, pics and drop down menus for access to everything and the annoying habit of only allowing you to view the internet from one window at a time...

I hated it... in fact come to think of it I think our company intranet is based on it....

yep in England

I'm on Bt Broadband so, but that was the only isp on his computer and I never thought about it until we were setting it up.

But it's gonna be a long hard slog cause he has a terrible memory. e.g I asked him yesterday if he could drop me off at the railway station on Friday as i'm going to London. he said this was fine now he swears blind I said thursday. Daft as a brush my father. Its just as well he can only use one window it would completly confuse him if he could open numerous ones.

planning on introducing him to hootoo and see if he melts down????

cool... have any hobbies or interests besides online RP? Are you a student, worker etc?

I now work from home, whilst looking after my nephew while my sister is at work. I am also studying to become a website design manager.

I like motorbikes and have a thunderace, boke my leg badly last year whilst riding it (not my fault car driver said 'he didn't see me')

Cool.. well I wish you the best of luck mate at your studies....

Non-driver myself though there does seem to be a lot of motorcyclists online here....

I am someone who reads, writes and RP's for fun and is dammed to work for the AA in RL....

well it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it.

What do you read

I like stephen king, and james patterson

I love the Steven King Dark Tower series, plus Talisman and Black House...

Also a prachett and Margaret Weis fan...

I really liked talisman

I read some of pratchetts, small gods i think I'm not sure, clive barker i like as well

Clive Barker I am mixed on - I would recommend the guards series by Prachett... have you read black house - sequel to the talisman?

I have got it but not got round to reading it yet

it is damm good... and if you liked talisman will probably like this even more...

Also the Dark Tower series is one that will be enjoyed by people who like the Talisman; Dark Tower story even mentioned in Black House too..

Does it have a good ending sometimes (the dark tower) I think stephen king rushes his endings and I'm left disapointed
