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

I have been travelling .. and its been very interesting too, Even during the pandemic and Brexit I spent last year in the EU .... also I ended up with a EU German passport and driving licence and now I'm back for a bit sorting out the last bits and pieces before I bugger off back to Germany, OberGau is where I'm deciding to live I like wearing the lederhosen and the alps

Colour me flabbergasted, Jackruss. I did not see this coming. That is the biggest surprise I've had in a very long time!

But hey to you and have a nice life in my old country

Welcome to Germany.

Danka to all! I got so fed up with "merry ol'England" and also my "travel freedoms" well general Freedoms to be more pricice! Did'ent expect it myself, but hay ho!

And after the bashing I got, by British blokes, finally made my mind up!


and also I have a job there too! which makes it alot easier too

Question will be answered if anyone has them

Bashing by British blokes doesn't sound nice

What kind of job did you get?

a mechanic, and it was a load of british blokes while i was on a train in France, though i was German, started to come the old.... and then a
bit handy

A British mechanic in Germany? But German cars never break down

I understand Mercedes need Lewis to drive their F1 racer, but he's not hired as a mechanic

(irony may occur )

Many researchers are blocked form h2G2 by a glitch.

Dmitri showed me a back way in today.

not cars tinker, but sewing machines ....

Are you telling me German sewing machines are prone to breaking down, Jackruss

Paulh, what kind of way?

For weeks now I've gone back to using alabaster. There have been a few days on and off where even that didn't w*rk, but mostly it w*rks far better and faster than pliny

Dmitri said that Ripley works.

Well I have been servicing PFAFF machines (commical ones mostly) and yes they do tend to wear and so you repair! Good money to be made

this sort of thing and more modern too, easy to get parts for all

Ah, yes, Pfaff. Back in the day every housewife dreamt of having a Pfaff and sewing beautiful dresses for herself and others

paulh, yes, Ripley, that's what I meant. Do I remember correctly that you also used alabaster like yours truly?

Good to have you back

Even using Ripley (I'm a Brunelian) is no help when the h2g2 servers are kaput, which they are frequently and for longer periods of time.

That is true, Baron, but I had more and longer downtimes with Pliny these last years

I prefer Alabaster, but since Ripley is the only skin that works for me now, I've figured out how to use it.

Alabaster is a Ripley skin!

I only ever use Goo, which is also a Ripley, and only very occasionally have 404 message.
