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

Oh well, I know little enough about horses as it is. But a quick glance at the site seems to suggest they are not quite as hefty as shire horses, it's true. Still, noble animals!

Hey - look what I found! A book full of excuses for being lazy! I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly also from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

'The Importance of Being Idle' by Stephen Robins

And how very true that is! I'll betya the washing machine was invented by a lazy person. And as for the dishwasher...

On top of that, I almost never get anything done unless I'm supposed to be doing something else... And I enjoy doing nothing so much more when I have something I have to do...

Mmmm... I guess that's why I enjoy spending my time at h2g2 when I'm at w*rk...

Ho, yes indeedy... But at least now we have Agatha's blessing!

We're waiting for youuuuuu...

Are you riding in the coach or on Gandalf? I'm eager to get back to the Atelier! (It's not a very long conversation yet, just 22 postings so far):

Would you mind an awful lot if we don't make it back to the Atelier, but instead get distracted by the sound of an explosion and get diverted into the Majick Forest instead?

That would be <./>F38024?thread=139229&latest=1</.> - but I won't go there unless you are in... I think we are currently a bit confused by the coach vanishing so suddenly (before it even started) and, since we're not going back the same way we came, we might get a bit lost, if you know what I mean...

Sounds good to me! Off we go...

Phew!

Could you please have a look at the GuideML in an entry here: A966189

Had a look. It says 'test' in the top left corner and, um, that's it. What's it supposed to look like?

Well, did you read the text between the tags when you look at the GuideML tags?

Well, now it's got a blue background. What text between the tags? What tags? *Exestential I know nothing about GuideML worth writing on the back of a postage stamp crisis*

Oh dear, oh dear... here: <./>test966189</.>

Right. Got it. How terribly embarrassing... Message received and understood.

'Fins are known for their hot Finnish blood in Russia' made me curious - could you explain about that one?

Sorry. Had overlooked this.

It's the Russian stereotype for Fins and a sort of short hand for rowdy young men.

I thing it's that bits of Russia are a popular stopover on the booze cruises, really.

Ah, that explains it - a bit like the reputation partying, drunk Swedes had in Spain until the Brits took over
