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

is that illegal or just fun to do?

I guess it depends on what you roll into them

.. uhmm .. roll in ??

ah that !!

interesting

I am devastated!

Got a grape vine and a hops plant as a farewell gift from a dear cow*rker, but due to the long and cold spring and the sudden impact of drought and very hot weather both have perished

Next year I'll buy new ones, plant them in an orderly fashion and tell nobody about it

disaster .. grapes and hops .. vitally important ingredients

Indeed. Now I have to pay good money for and for another whole year more than I intended

ah .. what can we say ..

I believe patience is the word you're looking for

Ah yes, this is which started this thread in the first place, wasn't it

Yes. I thought I might as well share the link here.

Good idea. Next time I'll be in Tallin you must give me a guided tour

Deal!

I had to find my own way through Tallinn

like Chris Columbus .. he didn't need a guide either .. and only ended up some 20.000 km from where he wanted to be

Yeah, what a bummer. He could have been in Goa instead of the US

just think what it would have done to global economy and politics

Maybe Sitting Bull would have had to fight Putin instead of General Custard

I'm not sure if he'd have liked it better.

I found myself wondering today, if there actually are real places on this planet, where the sand is white, sea is blue and palm trees grow. It doesn't sound right.

I believe Onassis had an island with these qualities. Mind you, he had the sand shipped in from somewhere else. The original stuff was too coarse for his sensitive skin (and that of Winston Churchill, Maria Callas and Jackie Kennedy)
