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

Well, we may live in the same house, but at different times. ie, I work in the evenings, and everyone else works in the mornings, and Ian & Fiona always seem to be elsewhere at weekends now that they've apparently got a car - not that I've seen it!

We did used to leave friendly notes for each other, but that somehow turned into random complaints saying things like "You are not allowed to use your clothes horse" and "my cheese board is for cheese", which are very amusing, and as far as I can tell, no-one takes them seriously, which is probably a good thing.

I'd still like to know where my other 2 coca cola glasses disappeared to, though...

Ben for the last time you can either be a guru or a llama, not a gnu

If you'd like to see the car just ask or talk to us, we keep saying hello so you could have easily asked us. Likewise with the notes I believe it was you who kept leaving them for us and the actual phrases were you telling us not to use your clothes horse and you telling us not to use your cheese slice...

But anyway, as we never talk at home, if we go to Bens on Saturday morning would you like a lift up there? Makes more sense and saves monies and stuff...

........... *goes off to sulk.....*






......Hang on....... I can be a Llama!!!! WOW!!!!



*Bounces round the room several times...*




.......*gets dizzy*

I often say hello - I speak to you more than I speak to most people I know. Afterall, I was the one who was called an "anti-social recluse" during a parents day by my form teacher - when I was there opposite him. I'd say that over 30% of how much I talk is to you & Ian.

I did indeed say that my cheese slice was a cheese slice, and not a cheese-cake slice, as I don't want it bent, but Ian has also said that his cheese board is for cheese. And, as for the clothes horse, the first note was written by someone other than me saying that I was not allowed to use Sarah's clothes horse as it was Garfie's, to which I replied that, although vaguely similar to Garfie's, except it was smaller, longer and Sarah's, it was not, in fact, Sarah's - and that it cost £5:99 in Argos, and as there was so little clothes horse space, why not get one yourself? They're very useful little gadgets, you know.

You know - I'm beginning to feel that you're taking the notes seriously. Don't take anything seriously - it'll only get you stressed. Although Sarah tells me that I'm so laid back it infuriates her... Hmmm....

What time on Saturday would you be planning on going?

*Is happy that people that live in the same house, are actually talking to each other...*

I can vouch for not taking Matt seriously!

The trouble with notes is that they do not convey tone or mood, merely words, so it is easier to interpret notes as angry than someone you are speaking to.

The answer to this problem is, of course, smileys.

"Oi! Sewer breath, when your milk goes rancid chuck it out so the rest of us don't have to suffer a pong almost as bad as your socks. "

Who could take offence at that?

*brings in a huge basket of mufflwhumps--and the basket's even sparkly!*

*feels they're much needed at the minute*
OOOH sparkley!!! Thankyou!
*cheers up*

What's wrong?

Stuff and things, can't really talk about them in here, may email you

In other words, I'll never find out

I *do* have ICQ... Though I've got it set for authorizations, and I don't know if that bit is working... But I only do that from home anyway. Best way would to be to put your number in the email (unless it's on your space?)
