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

I know, I always keep a bottle of water handy...it's terrible when you get headaches from w**king too hard

You have to keep your electrolytes up, not to mention bodily fluids. Do you work up a sweat when you w**k?

As a general rule I'm a "slow and steady wins the race" kinda gal, especially when it comes to w**king....I'd rather do a job well than fast...but a couple of times I have needed to (and occassionally wanted to) w**k as quikly as possible...and it can become rather sticky business...

Don't forget to take zinc suppliments if you're a furious w**ker.

Oysters work very well as well! (Due to high zinc content - better than taking supplements)

Ahhh, but I am vegetarian. therefore seafood and meat are not an option...as a result I *should* be taking vitamin supplements...but I never get around to it..too busy w**king, you know

Zinc is a mineral, not a vitamin. Anyway, gals shouldn't need zinc supplements

Just discovered this very apt sentence (for vigorous w**kers) on your PS, Tanzen:

"There's not a lot to say. Idle hands are the devil's playground apparently...so it's a toss up between...."

Well that is what I was told...and I suppose w**king is the perfect example of keeping one's hands busy...whether or not it is Godly or Demonic is a whole 'nother question...

Well, "you need Hans" is possibly only true in germanic speaking countries, but don't forget there is a digital revolution going on worldwide. Anna Log is apparently on the way out, which seems rather sad, i hope she gets a decent pension, people have been w**king using this method for a long time.

I know, you get used to w**king one way, and then they introduce new ways to w**k faster and more "efficiently".

Call me a big screaming hippie, but when did w**king become something we do because we *have* to...rather than something we just love to do ?

I totally agree. As John Lennon (RIP) would say " "A w**king class hero is something to be"

Well, I've got a theory that 21st Century Western (so-called) civilised Man has made a rod for His own back with all the w**king we're supposed to do. Years and tears of w**king at school, then at University then at proper w**k. Why do we hHAVE to w**k so hard for so long? In the good old days when we were cavemen it was sufficient to kill a wild boar which would keep a family unit going for a week or two, before the alpha-male had to go out and kill another one.

It seems like we w**k so hard that we don't appreciate it any more...it's more of a chore than anything else...every day I come to w**k I absolutely hate it...I keep forgetting that, back in the days when I wasn't w**king, I was going because I had nothing to do.

yes, the w**kers in the grade above mine get paid a pittance extra but because they are salaried the company seems to expect them to do 60 hour w**king weeks
I'm happy with a little less money and some time for myself

I agree, I would definitely be happier with a little less money, as long as I had less stressful w**king conditions

well I w**k for a living, I don't live to w**k like some people seem to

I think that's the most important thing to learn to balance...some people w**k too hard, and I would go so far as to say there are some people who just don't w**k enough!

We've discussed how some people w**k and some people don't, how some live to w**k and others w**k to live. We've talked about differences between a fast or slow w**king. How important health is related to w**king. How more than one person can w**k at the same place and time.

Personally, I'd just like to know what happens at those *City W**ks Yard* places!

Yup, the balance is the really difficult bit. I mean, think about tightrope w**kers, they w**k for a living like everyone else; they have to perform in public, get really high in order to do so, often they can't even use both hands to steady themselves 'cos they are holding this great long thing...& they are doing all this to entertain the rest of us. Not Fair really.
