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

I have no idea, but considering all the metal I have in my mouth ....

Well, I promise not to remind you of your age ;->

That's not an age thing, I've had that for more than 20 years now.

Ah yes, I tried that too. I was twenty-two for ten years and then twenty-eight and a half for a little more than two years... But then it got boring.

I meant the metal in my mouth.

I really have poor teeth, always had, and having had to wear braces for four years didn't exactly help.
I've never pretended to be younger than I am, I can't really see the point of that.

I haven't been to a dentist for about 20 years and as long as I can eat I don't really care how extraordinarily bad they are.
That being 22 for 10 years was a joke really. If somebody asked me I'd have said something like "I'm 28 1/2 now for 2 years now and before that I was 22 for 10 years", so it was not really pretending...

But that's the point: my teeth are so bad I recently couldn't eat for nearly two weeks, and that cost me about three kg - which I can't really afford.

As a last resort there is always still mashed potatoes
In our magazine there's also been someone with bad teeth (I think it was Gemini) and she didn't even dare going out any more.

That's awful, and I sympathise.

Well, I didn't really know her - just the way I know you...
And I don't know what has become of her...

Maybe she went to the dentist and now she's going out again which doesn't leave any time for chatting to strangers?

Or maybe she was just a well disguised alias - you never know.

True, if you never meet, you can't know.

Whereabouts in H do you live?

You mean HH - H is Hanover.
Alsterdorf, ca 200m from the Israelite Hospital

And I take it you mean Hannover? Hanover is in the USA.

I thought you are supposed to write English here? Hannover is only the German name for this village. Btw - in the USA there is almost every town that is originally in Germany. And Kalifornien and Brasilien are both on the coast of the Baltic Sea!

We had the Hanover vs Hannover discussion in at leat two guide entries now - I can't recall what we agreed upon, probably the English version. I myself would always refer to Hannover, though.

Well, my mobile phone only knows Hanover when T9 is set to English
Fortunately we don't have to discuss this since I live in HAMBURG!

Yes, my mobile phone is set to T9 English, too. I recently had to send a text message in German - that was awful

Where's the problem? You can always set it back to German, can't you? Or is it a case of "women and technology"?
