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

Congratulations!


So, fancy volunteering at the Guide with all this spare time?

Maybe you can the ports to a few

Here's to Pierce and his future!

[ to see what air fare to Denmark costs. ]

Thank you one and all. Muchly appreciated

re 43:

after 42 years (I kid you not!) in the news bizz I think I'm entitled to a few weeks without researching, writing, editing and the like. But in time I may indeed write a little something - or two - for the guide

Rest and enjoy your time!

+= port, += port, += port, ,

I'm bored

Oh well, I'll just go back to sleep then

Okay-okay, I'm up now. Got a busy schedule for my first day in freedom:
1. Brew
2. Check HooToo, Fb and mail
3. Shower
4. and
5. Make table reservation for tonight's party
6. Lunch&Nap
7. Party

Damn you, Pliny

4. and [croissants]

Here's a croissant:

Sometimes I fear there won't be any retirement for me.

* lack of colleagues
* proposals from the responsible authorities to raise the retirement age. The last pensions prognosis I got suggested I should work to 68 or 69 to get full benefits.

I decided to leave for a good deal less than full benefits.

1. We may have more than one life, but I fail to see the evidence
2. I didn't want to die w*rking after more than 42 years on the labour market
3. I am of the last Danish vintage that can leave at 60 - I feel obliged to do so in solidarity with all those younger than me - including you,
4. Sadly I didn't make room for another employee, but I may have saved someone from being fired

There are lots of other reasons as well

re 54:

Thanks, TC

*munch munch munch*

When I was a kid, I misbehaved so much that I often had cross aunts.

they were trans parents
