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

it's only mothers that ever call us by our real names isn't it and then only when we're in trouble .... although I managed to get through my entire life without having my name shortened ... there's actually not much you can do with it really ... until I came to work at this place and found someone who called me Kazza mercifully she has since left

anyway ... I really have to go and get some sleep

been good to chat tonight - good luck with your moron tomorrow

catch you again soon

mornin' Mick

don't know whether you're in at all today ... I'll be popping by from time to time to see who's about, so if you get time for a few words then drop me a line

if not, catch up with you soon

Hello you

I must be at my persausive best today as i have mananged to get one guy bail, and the Crown to reduce the charges on my trial, perhaps I shouls buy a lottery ticket.

My house is not completing until Tuesday morning, oh well gives me a free weekend.

So how's your day
x

well done you with all that

If you're not completing til Tuesday now you'll have lots of spare time over the weekend to take the bike out in all that good weather, or do you have your kids this weekend? My 2 are at their Dad's this weekend so I shall have some blissfull peace and quiet if I'm lucky

My day .... well remind me never to say that things shoud go without a hitch ... I've had a transfer of equity that hasn't happened and a re-mortgage that also hasn't happened, so 2 out of 2 so far

I guess on the plus side things can only improve

Still, only another couple of hours and I can go home and start on the mayhem there instead

No I don't have the kids this weekend, and the weather is meant to be lovely so bike will be out lots.

The weather looks like it is clearing up quite nicely which is good.

What you doing the weekend.

x

well, I've got nothing particular planned but I have got some decorating I ought to be doing although if the weather's good I'll leave that in favour of some gardening

other than that I'll take a couple of trips to the gym no doubt - girls are back Sunday evening so Monday I'll have my chauffeur's hat on

I like the gym aswell, I used to fight for Britain at Judo many moons ago, and then found girls and it all went wrong, but recently been back to the gym and now hooked again, 3 nights a week, protein shakes etc etc.

I cannot stand gardening, the only time I will contemplate it is when the machette goes blunt between getting out of the car and the front door!!!!! saying that I suppose if someone else was mucking in and a beer or too, hose......t-Shirt............oooops sorry, where were we gardening, so you got a big or little garden, are you green fingered or doing it to get to your front door.

x

No ... I'm like you and I Hate gardening but I had a small extension built during the winter and the garden is now a total disaster area. Thankfully its reeeeeeeeeeeeelly small which is it's only redeeming feature and I'm manfully trying to get it looking vaguely acceptable ... after all, I need somewhere to park me deckchair

aren't you tempted to take judo up again ... you must have been of a very good standard. I'm more interested in running myself and spend all the time at the gym on the treadmill and the crosstrainer trying to build up some stamina. My goal is to do a marathon but whether I ever get up to that kind of mileage is something else .... I'm up to 10 miles at the mo, so a half marathon isn't out of the question. I really should join a running club and do it properly but that's not really my cup of tea.

now I could go along with the or maybe a or 2 ...

I like the idea of clubs, but then find that when the time comes I can't be arsed, another perhaps more telling reason is that I was British squad material when I was 18, I am now 37 and whilst I like the thought/belief that "still got it, know what I mean geezer" attitude to life, if I turn up at a club, even though I am 6'2 and a fit 17 stone (chest is bigger than my waist, in spite of Tesco's chocolate crispies), some spotty even fitter 18 year old might proceed to throw me around the room at his whim!!!! In which case I would have to run him over, or sue him..................

The house I have been desperately trying to buy (bloody conveyancers)is a four bed in Milton Keynes, with a half decent size back garden, save for someone has put a pond in the garden, having no idea about fish, i suppose i had better find out if the RSPCA can do you for cruelty to fish

yes, I can see that would be a bit of a concern .... y'know what with your delicate male ego at stake I'm not a great one for clubs for all manner of reasons, the chief one being I'm just plain anti-social ... which is probably why I like running

just hang on in there with the house .... as of Tuesday it will be yours all yours!!

I'm off home in a mo so if I can't get back here before, I'll be back 10ish again ....

catch up soon

Have a good afternoon, wish I could go home, I in court in Birmingham in the morning so will probably go and stay in Burm tonight so will not be about until tommorrow lunchtime, have a good evening hun

x

aaah, the going home bit's nice but the part-time pay packet isn't so nice.

Be careful up in Brum although I hear the natives are reasonably friendly ... hopefully catch up with you sometime tomorrow

You have far to much access to computers, I thought you had gone home to do 'stuff'.

I am sitting here reading a proof of evidence, no honestly I am, alright you got me, my secretary walked in, and as she can't see my screen, believed that I was hard at work.

Talking of natives. I have heard of the bull ring in Brum, but never been, have you, or do you know what it is. Talking of that, and because I am bored, what would be a good day for you. I like going to places i have never been before and then trying new food, if the mode of transport is a Busa then even better, don't think I can get away with turning up in court wearing leathers though.

xx

I have just been told for the third time this year i look like Phil Mitchel, I am getting a complex, need counselling

you're right .... I spend all day on a computer at work then come home and voila ... back on it here - it's sad, very sad really but I don't always get the chance at home until the girls are in bed. Fortunately today I've just dropped the youngest round her mates for a sleepover and eldest has her boyfriend here so they're otherwise engaged (revising or so they tell me )

I've beene to the Bullring once ... got a friend who comes from Brum ... it's just been re-opened as a whizzy new shopping centre so unless you like shopping probably not the best place for you to visit. Apparently before they redid it, it was a complete eyesore - not sure whether it's an eyesore now or not .....

A good day out for me would be .... let's think .... I enjoy a day at the coast, not necessarily on the beach - I like walking so a walk along the coastal path is good a good blast on the back of a bike in the good weather is a buzz I quite like places like Hampton Court, Blenheim Palace but have to be in the mood ... or a pub garden, a cool lager and some good company would win my vote any time. How 'bout yu??

... could be a new career for you opening supermarkets in that case

I went to Warwick castle with the kids once, it was great, I think I enjoyed it more than them. They had horse back jousting and alsorts, can you ride a horse.

I went on a holiday to yorkshire to learn to ride a horse for a week, you know the whole looking after it thing, I have got some right funny stories, but enjoyed it.

Well the whole going out thing, I enjoy going places I have never been, I like exploring, I would rather a walk alone a cliff top than a theme pub, bike intsead of car (weather dependant), couple of friends instead of a large group, witt rather than philosophy, like watching a sunset but wouldn't want to be in a woods a night (I know i'm a big girls blouse).

So who do you look like,

well, I've been doing 'stuff' and thinking about what I like to do. Funny isn't it ... it's not something I give a lot of time to usually and I think one of things I like doing best is exploring new places, you're right - I was going to say London, not the touristy bits - done them to death - but places like the back streets of Chelsea, Greenwich, those kinds of places - but it's not only London - I think I just like places, mostly places with buildings (I'm a bit of a townie at heart)

*hmmm - note to self 'stop rambling'*

I've been on a horse twice in my life so I don't think you can call that being able to ride

and who do I look like??? Darned if I know ... I'm short by your standards ... 5'4".... short dark hair .... average kinda build I spose - blue eyes - sometimes a bit like this after a late night ...

Your last post made me smile, thats a good thing, the whole scary eyes, god knows where you got the smilely from.

I must admit going on holiday too ranble across some god foresaken countryside day after day, wouldn't do it for me, but a walk in the country during the holiday would be good. I was looking on the internet today, I was born in Northern Ireland, my dad was staff sgt in Militray Police, before he joined Beds Police, and I was born in Antrim during the troubles so was shipped out after 6 weeks and have never been back, Easyjet fly there from £28 return to Dublin, I am not sure about Ireland but the whole 'never been there or done that, lets have a go' philosphy suits me, that's what got me on the whole.....I like to see places I have not been before.....now who's rambling.

I think if I was to run 10,000m I would die, I have been considering this since you mentioned it, and that is my considered opinion, how long has it taken you to biuld up this amount of stamina, i think I could prabably do 2,500m, not biult to run I don't think.

it's 17.05 nearly time for me to escape.

I'm glad to have made you smile that's the nicest thing someone can say I reckon The smileys are all hidden away in a thread all their own ... when you reply to a post if you look down there (no down arrow, damn) you'll see Full Smiley Index written in blue ... click on that and a whole world of smileys all at your disposal ... but then you probably knew that anyway

Dublin's sposed to be grand ... you should go - in fact the whole of Southern Ireland is sposed to be pretty nice so put it on your wish list.

10 miles is about 15,000 m ... I've gone from not even running for the bus to this in about 3 years or so... I never started out to get into running tho, I just joined the gym to get fit, swore they'd never get me bl**dy jogging, then found actually I quite enjoyed it and it's built from there. I can be quite boring about the running so best not to get me started

well, nearly time for you to exit stage left ... I can hear you shuffling those papers and putting the pencils in a neat row ....
