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

Was it an old-fashioned lamppost, or the motorway kind?

An old fasnioned one... or it would have been... I was lieing about the chinchilla on the lampost...

WJH? nothing... just pottering about on the net and twitter and HooToo in a kind of unproductive way... may have to go to bed soon as I'm running out of internet to read

Oooh, I hate it when that happens! Luckily, the internet has a habit of refilling overnight.

The torrential rain forecast for Saturday just started. It's been nice all week, and then the day we meant to go hiking, heavy rain.

We seem to have had rain most of this week Well at leat its not as* cold as it was a few weeks back Kinda looking forward to maybe getting some sun sometime soon though and a few spring warm days
WJH?: more nothing... I may have to go do something and then think about maybe going to bed

This thread wasn't the same when 2legs was away for Christmas. Even if nothing's just happened he comes and reports all his thumb-twiddles. Leggsy, I can picture you sitting in the lost property office at King's Cross. Scaring wee old women with your USB drum kit thingy.

I just made an improvised dinner of mushroom-filled ravioli, olives, feta, and falafel balls - didn't realise how late it had gotten and didn't have time to cook anything proper!

Awwww thanks
WJH?: showered, exfoliated, washed myself, washed my hair, shaved, cleaned the bath/shower, dried myself somewhat, moisturised with coco butter body lotion got dressed... came down... now trying to decide what to cook for dinner

In researching an entry, I followed links from links from links.

I am not really any closer to finishing the entry now, but at least I know now how the Nabataean camel cavalry worked...

theres no entry on Nabataean camel cavalry either????

What's the entry actually about?

Blimey! I thought my life complete! and now discover the complete absence from my knowledge base of them camel dudes.



I had other things to report, but they lose significance in the face of such odds. . .

Apparently, the secret lies in having two archers per camel, one of them facing backwards.

bit like a manpower heavy version of the Parthian shot???

ah yes, but are they as hopelessly romantic as the Tuareg?

Spimcoot!

Another Post article has been hit by the filther... I am just testing it out

lil xx

WJH???

Nothing

I'd blame 2legs on your behalf, lil, but I've misplaced the thread.

So if a camel has two riders, one facing one way, one facing the other way...

...how does it know which direction to go?

Thank you, Lanza

Who keeps hiding that thread?

Dunno, but I guess we could ask Mala to do a Google search for it
