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

Hello Mr. Czar, I just thought I would pop round and say Hi properly outside of the sarcasm thread. I hope you don't take me too seriously! I read your piece on the evacuation of Guernsey, it is very interesting. I did my first degree in history, with a great deal of focus on WWII so perhaps we should have a proper chat sometime. Pop round to mine if you feel like it or leave a reply here. GUIDE ML is really easy to get to grips with the basics, its a little different to HTML but similar in many ways, I'm sure you'll have it down in no time. Nice to meet you! DDN

Hello Dandanorff. Thank you for your message. I must say that all my postings to h2g2 are done with tongue in cheek, and I assume that others do likewise.
When I wrote to WW2 I did not realise that a reference to it would be shown on my personal space on h2g2. It contains some information that is not known to most of my friends and acquaintances, because I do not like to look back into my early life.
I must say that as a result of being educated in Scotland I did have a very good education.
It is a matter of time to get my head around to HTML and/or GUIDE ML, Although I am retired I am still involved in some voluntary duties which fills part of my time.
Feel free to contact me anytime.

Well your account is there for the whole world to see now Czar . Good, just thought it good manners to check. I hope people do not get too offended by comments there, after all sarcasm is the lowest form of wit after all. Usually I would consider it extrimely bad manners and a breach of good netiquette to write such things but, well it is the sarcy thread and as long as it doesnt breach the rules or get too personal I think its just a bit of fun. I am abit of a newbie here but it is an interesting and friendly site would you not agree?

What is it like living in Guernsey? I know very little about the place?

Just read your latest message. Thanks.
Very expensive living in Guernsey.
Will contact you again but getting late now.
I will be out most of tomorrow as I am going to an A.G.M. and we have a lunch before the meeting.
Meantime you may be able to get the following on your computer, they may give you some interesting information and lead you to other sites.

Hello Dandanorf. Did you have any luck on any of the Guernsey sites?
Are you O. K.? Haven't seen any postings from you recently, but perhaps you have been busy. I have been having trouble getting through to the various threads. Connections were very slow at times. Hope to hear that you have found something of interest on those Guernsey sites.

At the risk of being rude - can I butt in. I am fascinated by your contributions to the various threads. Other than sailing through the Alderney Straits on a dark and stormy night and watching a rather large aunt being thrown from side to side of a somewhat small boat - vomiting copiously - I have little actual knowledge of the Channel Isles. I had my education beaten into me at a minor (direct grant) public school in the middle of England.
That said I would love to talk further.

P B S. Thanks for your message Which I have just read.
You may find the following to be of interest to tou and it may lead you to other sites. Please let me know whether you have success in being able to find this and other threads related to Guernsey.

Hi Czar, yes I have been rather busy at mo but still an ever pressing work load that never seems to diminish. I did get time to sneak a look at them articles though. I'll have to put guernsey on my places to visit sometime!

Hope you are well.

Dear Sir
Yes - I did check the site - thank you. Actually I had been there before looking for something one of my students was interested in. There should be more about the wonderful cows you have on those islands - if there are any left. It was a Guernsey that I learnt to milk at the age of about four.

I'm fine thanks. Glad to have been of help to you. When you are not too busy and want a chat, or further advice on cites to visit, do not hesitate to let me know.
