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

Ha! Got my first approved entry and a graphic-thingy and it's under the editor's recommended bit. That's fab. (Please excuse me if I sound over-excited but I've had a morning like you wouldn't believe.) I shall now go and concentrate on looking smug!

Typical. I've written who-knows-how-many articles and none of them so far have been given a graphic to accompany it. Well, all I can say is well done - and I enjoyed reading it, even though dolls houses aren't really my kinda toy.
Honest!

<BB<

Yeah, congrats!

Somehow, when I saw it on the top of the front page, I just knew it had to be you!

Must be psychic!

How did you guess? Hopefully it's out of my system now.

Maybe you could combine two favourite subjects into one article... The Little Doll's House on the Prairie.

Actually, that sounds more like an extension of the drunken rambling that happened on Saturday! Kinda made some sense at the time. Seem to recall something about Mary Poppins, too. Mmm...

Hope your daytime TV and food session was cool. Work was OK, server installation reasonably smooth. It was taking so long that I had to leave it to its own devices. Have to go in early tomorrow to get things ready for everyone.

Oh yeah, where's that email you promised? I could do with one from a real person, as opposed to today's batch of :

LEGAL CABLE TV DESCRAMBLER
MAKE $60,000... IT'S LEGAL... IT'S EASY...
and


Anyway, you got ICQ? Mr Cynic and I had a chat last night during which he kinda told me off for not adding my ICQ to the ICQ researchers page that I hadn't heard of. He seemed to consider that a rather feeble excuse, so I hit him with a barrage of Monty Python quotes!

I hope so. So, did you have a dolls house that you played with as a kid? My sister ended up with three - and she always kept them in my room as hers was no bigger than a dolls house...
But I didn't play with them, honest!

So when your friends came round, did you have fun explaining "Look, they're in my room, OK, but they're not mine, right?" "Yeah, sure, whatever..."

Or did you just not let them near your place to avoid the hassle?

I used to play with my mum's old doll's house, which was stored in my grandparents' house. It had a bit of dodgy wiring, but you know, that was from the 1930s! My excuse: I was about 5, and I thought of it as a gadget. Always had a passion for small stuff.

jd

No I never had one, please feel free to say "Aah" But now I have three... I sort of got given them and don't like to give them away as it might seem rude. I collect sheep anyway, I don't have room for Dolls' Houses too.

Boys; they always have an excuse and no one ever believes them!

Collecting sheep - that's a nice idea. Any particular reason?
I collect bees, and fish. Except I don't have many fish, but Abi has. She has a nice bee-like fish, and it's great.

It's because they have stupid faces that amuse me. I really don't know...I had a few and now friends keep giving new ones to me. Also the idea of something which grows wool is endlessly fascinating

Well done..... I envy you that and I envy your ability to choose the funny drivers northern line tube.

Your envy is mis-placed. It's all luck I promise you!
