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

It's because you don't post with a northern accent I think! However, I expected it. Good to meet you there.

But I'd discussed where I was from with you before I suppose.
There is a posting of mine in a northern accent somewhere in one of the book nook forums (Various worden about dialecten I think)

Phil it was the northern accent. I handn't spoken an awful lot with you and kind of made the assumtion that you would have a home counties accent, which is what I'm used to. It's an accent I confer on everyone until I find out where they come from.

Fair enough then
I know I talk funny as some people would put it and I can quite happily play it up. I certainly don't want to lose the accent though, that'd be terrible.

Not funny, just differentr. And appropriate after speaking to you for a while

That'll be reet then young mister DE

I'm unhappy about having to leave quite so early though

shame about that. I guess you must have got back to Bath OK though.
Till the next time

Yes, except I walked a little further than Paddington. I ended up going to Edgeware Road tube station and getting a tube instead of trying to backtrack and find where I was supposed to be going

I had about 5 minutes to spare before the train left when I finally made it onto the platform.

Ooops

Good thing I asked someone though, otherwise I would have kept walking and probably ended up in Euston before realising I was going the wrong way. I really need a map for the next time.

But at least you had a towel!
Was I the person who stayed for the least time?

DE - who remembered a towel
Phil - with the most northern accent
Shazz, TM and Kheldar - travelled the furthest
Jim Lynn - signed in as 42

any more?

Don't know about Shazz TM and Kheldar travelling furthest, DD came from Belfast and Dr. E Vibenstein from Edinburgh. I'm not sure which are furthest away from London but I suspect Holland is a tad closer.

Joanna - who blew bubbles
Mark Moxon - brought his own form of money

Hatter - Supplied the Birthday Cake Thank you

Realised DD had probably travelled furthest as soon as I had posted!
Amend it to Shazz etc - travelled from Holland
Pastey - worked before travelling
Menza - best excuse for not playing softball

What was Menza's excuse? I never did hear it

The excuse was limp.
Did anyone actually hitch to get there?

Not that I know of

Or commandeer a passing space ship?

The only thing I could commandeer was a plane, and I was almost too late...
What a disappointment..you think you travel the biggest distance to join up at a party in London.....
It was great fun though
