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

You'll just have to rely on people's memories - "search conversations" is still deactivated.

A non h2g2 solution for finding a thread. If it's one you definitely remember reading, why not use the "search" facility in your History file on the task bar.

This is an old thread but it got a brief revival 5 weeks ago. I wonder if it's the one you mean?

There was a thread where things started off quite nicely and then Della and I showed up started arguing about religion and calling each other names.

Does anyone know where that one is?

Oh, I do like a good belly laugh first thing in the morning - thanks blicky!

You must have been away back then.

There's a link to it on my 'other' page - A795026 - under 'Games &c'

That's handy. I really must sort out my PS...

Thanks for the link, Coelecanth. I can't remember why I was looking for it now, but just after Rupert, when the idea of moderation was first introduced, there was a thread full of double entendres. (I think it might even have been started by Bluebottle - someone beginning with "B" anyway. All about "Linda" - the name given to the new "yikes" button at the time.

Anyone able to find that?

11 minutes ! Now that is impressive.

She is totally amazing - I think the BBC should hire coelecanth as the keeper of lost conversations.

Coelacanth even . . . sorry, that was Noggin telling me how to spell that incorrectly.

Impressive *and* amazing? Look, I'm blushing -->

I had 2 clues from TC.
1) " I was looking for a conversation that was held in 2002 (just after Rupert)."
2) " I think it might even have been started by Bluebottle - someone beginning with "B" anyway."

11 minutes to find the convo from 2001, started by Bruce. I amaze myself sometimes.

Now, BBC, about this job...

So how did you get to Bruce from Bluebottle or B? Did you know him?

Just giving this a *bump* so TC sees it. I went to a lot of effort to find her the link!

How did I do it? I rely on my memory and an ability to make connections between threads I've seen, and I knew I'd read the one she wanted. I also knew it wasn't something Bluebottle would have started, just not his style really. I also knew the thread hadn't been started by someone I'd met, so that ruled BB out too. I remembered the old h2g2 names (Peta's page is usually a good starting point) and started clicking round their friends lists to remind myself of people and then remembered Bruce, the Guide ML genius.
