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

Road Less Travelled is good. I don't know if I'm alone in finding something a bit "used car salesman" about Anthony Robins?

Well, I'm honoured to be in your presence Beatrice

I was a bit narked about a month ago when someone on this site told me to "get a life!" because I'd mentioned that I listened to Radio 2 and 4.

And I had to bite my lip/ sit on my hands to stop myself launching into a tirade based on the above. (I should perhaps point out that I'm well in my 40s!)

But then I remembered the Budhist philosophy that what someone says about you tells you more about them than it does about you.

Me too ... Beatrice!

I'm also in my 40's and listen to the world service. Okay, I do live here in Germany.

Also, when I took a view at your PC you very much have a life!!

"I was a bit narked about a month ago when someone on this site told me to "get a life!" because I'd mentioned that I listened to Radio 2 and 4."

That sounds very un-H2G2ish. Must have been a newbie.

Twas. Which was why I didn't over-react.

Thinking a bit more about this, I feel that doing some voluntary work or something "worthwhile" either as a job or in your own time is important to feeling rounded and not just being a taker.
