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

I've read the book. Beautiful story. That tale about Baby killer Kelly made my eyes burn with tears. Damn, what a pity.

Thanks for the tip.

Sorry, I've only temporarily abandoned h2g2. Yes it's a great book,& so glad you enjoyed it. New Years Greetings, as I'm a bit late for Christmas. How are you?

I'm fed up with the so manieth version of 'Winter Wonderland', but then I'm an incurable malcontent. My winters are never to be made glorious by the sun of York. No, no such luck here, heaven forbid. Good to see you, Vi. Hopefully by now you've forgiven, alas not forgotten, my previous lack in diplomatic skills. Politician! I should wish, then I would be enjoying my winter holidays without a financial care in the world on a nice sub-mediterrenian island, toasting towards a tequilia sunrise.

Anyway girl, many good wishes for the next year for you and your boy. Did you return to Europe or are you celebrating New Year's Eve with a veg-barbecue in your backgarden?

I can't say I noticed any lack of diplomatic skills???! I loved our cleaning lady! Still in Oz, spouse bastard got 7yrs 9 months. Divorce is on its way. Have to stay till that's done & house sold. THEN- it's France for us. The ex will get no forwarding address. We've both had enough of him.
I'm a touch of a malcontent too. Yes, I hear you're having a siberian winter! Keep warm. Love to you, Vi xxx

Ah yes, did you hear that wonderful story of how Ethel did strike again on Christmas Eve?

There you go Vi, cheers to the next hurdle.



Ethel jumped a fence at the Vatican to give that pope a piece of her mind. She intended once and for all to bite his jesuit head off in retribution for the last 2500 years of institutionalized male perversion and corruption. Unfortunately she was grabbed by the neck by one of the security guards. In the ensuing chaos one of the cardinals broke both his legs.

The Vatican propaganda-machine immediately tried to smother the truth and manipulated Ethel's motives into a silly story about how a woman crazed with love tried to kiss the pope. In an item at the Eight o'clock news at Rai Uno, Ethel was shown in a short flash in which she was heard shouting: "Like Judas kissed Jesus? You filthy pansies!"
