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

I was just reminded of this quote (possibly by W.C. Fields):

"In theory men and women should be able to understand each other.

Also in theory you should be able to catch eels with a lasso"

if men and women where on the same page now and then the world would be a lot better, the weaker sex my bum lol, it was the women that used the rollingpin to hit a man lol.now they take the money lol

Quoting the H2G2 Guide Editors:

"Thanks to everyone who helped with restoring the Edited Guide following the cyberincident in February 2023 "

I second that!

Jim, I can't remember if I told you this before but anyway here goes:

I have many documents and photographs on an external harddrive which is now kaputt

I hope I can find someone who can repair it or at least download all the data on another harddrive

my tv is tv and freeview with option to my dav555 unit disc transfers to it from the tv ,5 speakers cost me £50 lol,4 0n stands one infront over the room door as well.jimbob

I haven't found a repair shop yet. Waiting for a friend to look into it.

Meanwhile I'll be offline for a week from Saturday as I'm going on an adventure with my ex and our kids and grandkids.

Take care of yourself and Rex while I'm away!

have a great time its going to rain here yet again soon so its a washout to cold and wet for me so its a bit of shopping then coffee house

have a good time jimbob

I'm back but I'm knackered. A week with lively grandkids aged 6 and 9 takes its toll. In particular when it's raining for a whole week except for the last day

I'm taking a long nap now and will just rest in front of the telly the rest of the day

The nice thing about grandchildren is that you can borrow them and then return them to their parents when you need to recover from them.

I did. But I had to wait for that recovery a whole week. We (7 adults, 2 kids and 1 toddler) stayed in the same summer cottage for a week. And when it didn't rain it rained even more

hi there couldnt get on in the mornings lol

the ruddy cloud clouded over lol

its been wet here for days so rex aint out much till after 5pm

the lady in the next street loves taking out and claire who came back with rex weeks ago comes tomorrow if weather is ok,

ive started sleeping in the front room on a bed settee but i dont open it its three sections long, time for bus home take care all jimbob

Hang in there.

Weather is okay here now. But for how long?

Good to hear Rex is taken care of. Not good to hear you have weakened. Take care of yourself!

ive been adding to the bradford west a few useful links ie the top market was opened 1930,s but comes down in the next 6 months when the new market is finished being built.

kirgate is also half empty so thats also on the way out to

its roads up, buildings altered to accomadations, only rich can afford
from about £400 a week jimbob

Don't think I'll ever be able to travel outside EU again. Germany, Norway and Sweden perhaps, but that's it.

h2g2 has been a bit unstable these last few days. Anyone else noticed this?

Yes. Quite a few error messages "Gateway timeout", but on refresh they go away. I must print out or save my journals somewhere as I often refer to them to see what I did when.

Entries I'm not so bothered about. I think I've got them saved somewhere anyway.

As George so aptly put it: All things must pass
