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

Always said when a woman walks down the aisle she's taking on her first child

but i havent walked down the aisle ..

awwwwwwwwww

don't worry..........you haven't missed a thing apart from a good knees up

just a short break for a PSA:

I'm going abroad in 2 weeks, and dont know the situation with the 'net access where I'm going. I may have to let this thread drift.
Looking for someone to take over the calculating.

Qualifications:
must know the rules pertaining to averages, percents, and the basics of using a calculator.
Should also come on often enough to tally up the score and see who's currently winning: The over-the-hills or the too-young-to-know-betters.

Owning a calculator would be helpful too
Thats at least 1 count I'm disqualified on

well, im over the hill, but still dont know any better

Would love to help but only tend to come in when I'm at work so can't guarantee I'd be here often enough or have the time to do the calculations

Hope you find an enthusiastic volounteer

Why doesn't that surprise me Serenity .................

I'm going away in less than one week so I doubt I can help, and it's a long time since I did any maths... but I can keep a log of all that's happened and post it to you in an easy-to-read, digestable package when you get back?

its for a year of study. They dont have access on site, and I think dial-up is the norm in the rest of the country. So I doubt that would work.

Gosh, whatever type of country are you going to?


I'm 56 in 4 days time. Over the hill, but I have picked up speed

watch out for police!

A few days ago Teaswill suggested she is a

I fear I must leave an exploration of the comic possibilities arising from such a concept for another time. But at least let me ask if this is like freelance surgery or roaving gunslinging?

Don't mind me, just glad to see anyone who manages to stay free from full time committments of any kind, especially the working kind.

still looking for an able bodied person armed with a calculator to take over this thread.

<"Have eye chart, will travel.">

No, I don't do domiciliary visits !
The less exciting reality is that I practise only 2 days each week (I know, do I really still need the practice ).

I'm going to put the average down, hehe, 18 years old since april, student (but right now I'm working as an au pair , it's my holiday job)
I would like to help but being abroad I don't have a calculator right now.
