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

I say this because I have to go back in a minute

Anyhoo today we have a training

and one of the things we had to do is write down all the things/people who annoyed us with valid reasons why


I filled both sides of 3 foolscape sized paper


Then we had to write down all the people/things we really liked and why boths sides of one foolscape sized paper


Now I'm wondering if I'm just a person who is easially annoyed

I'd rather not even try to make that sort of list.

hmmmm... things that annoyed me... just in the past 24 hours?

airline food
highly uncomfortable airline seats
the insanely long (2+ hrs) queue at Gatwick to clear customs
the traffic jam on the M25
the REALLY hard beds at the Renaissance Reading
the terrible Chinese food near the hotel
PC the internet/phone hog

things I liked

getting the flights over with and checking into the hotel
ing through PC's endless meetings via phone/internet
the Portuguese restaurant on the water we found for dinner
the thought of meeting Light tomorrow
the idea of wandering around tomorrow looking at whatever there may be to see near the hotel
getting to use the Internet whilst PC s

Sounds like a good exercise to me Understanding what makes you annoyed and what makes you happy allows you to go after the good stuff.

I am looking forward to seeing Batty too and hopefully finding another good resturant. Town centre has some nice shops I am told - head for the centre called the Oracle ...

That's where we were tonight for Portuguese food and ice cream..

I'm looking forward to some pub food and some fish and chips if I can help it. Nothing like that at the Oracle. Mostly it was a lot like being in the US..

Great minds think alike - Pub food works for me - see email! I cant eat potatoe or fish so thats not so good for me ...

Okay. I'm ready for pretty much anything... cept that nasty Chinese place we happened upon for lunch..

M25 is famous for it's perminant traffic jam Batty

my recommendadtion would be large sausage with chips and gravey, you have to have your chips moist southerners do not understand this concept at all because they are a bit stange with the exception of Jack who is perfectly wonderful in every way </>

if your having fish and chips don't forget the bread and butter *pokes you gently*

*giggles* I think Light was going to find a nifty English pub for us to go for dinner tonight. I'm hoping PC will be able to come, but much depends on his schedule at the office. At least if he doesn't make it Light and I will have someone to bail us out if we get arrested.

so did you try the fish and chips, although I have to say they are not the same unless eaten directly out of the paper

which is why i joined the paper bizz in the first place

have fun you two

Believe it or not it wasn't even on the menu! I was torn between some sort of sausage and the pheasant.. I opted for pheasant.. oh and I had a pint of local (or possibly you might have to ask Light what it was) which was very good.

guess you didn't eat the phesant off the paper

in dk we call a story that doesn't hold a 'paper duck'

Actually had the duck...

was it cumberland sauasage per chance?

mmmmm, cumberland

hey cal, i hope you don't mind me drooling over the ladies - er, sorry, the food - in your thread?

me thinks they get quite used to it in my journals

what, me drooling over them and/or the food?

my lips are sealed for fear of incrimination

be afraid, be very afraid
