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

Your site is scary!

No more than Shrek saying "Arghhhhhhhhhh!!" to the men with torches and pitchforks.
Actually I am quite benign

Well that's good to hear!

Are you in the UK?

I really have to meet someone on this site who's on the same timeline as me! Every time I get a conversation going someone has to go to bed! It's 5 to 2 in the morning here.

Thanks for replying, anyway.

Casablanca - same time zone for half of the year. Awake 24 hours a day - other than when I sleep

I'm in exam block, so naturally I'm asleep for 12 hours a day, drunk for 6 and watching TV for the rest.

If you work at it you can stay drunk 24 hours-a-day. Keep one drink ahead of the hangover

Now that's wisdom.

Another bit
Exams are best approached with an empy mind

Well that shouldn't be too hard!

And don't watch television.
I don't have one - I have only lived in houses with one for 4 out of 56 years and do not feel I have missed anything really important.
I have two aims left in life.
(1) to die without ever going to America and
(2) to die without ever having seen 'reality TV'

Good luck

I hate reality TV with a passion but I have a huge DVD collection of decent shows. Well, I guess that's a matter of perception!

Plus I'd love to go to America, can't stand the bible-bashing part or their political views but oh, shops, lots and lots of shops with lots and lots of clothes!

*sigh*

I like clothes.

Clothes bore me so I live in a sub-tropical country where the need is minimal and the girls look better. But just for you something entirely diffent and take your mind off clothes and the good ol' US of A:
Somebody started business with Nobody. Nobody did anything but Somebody did everything. The business grew so Somebody employed Anybody and Everybody to do anything and everything. Somebody told them that Nobody had done anything until now but from now on he expected Anybody to do anything and Everybody to do everything. Nobody was to do nothing and Somebody wanted to do something but not everything. As Nobody had done anything for so long, Nobody should be expected to help Anybody do anything .

Anybody and Everybody said that they thought this was unfair because, if Nobody helped Anybody do anything, Everybody would have to do everything on his own. Nobody was quite happy to do anything for Anybody which made Everybody even more angry. Everybody complained to Somebody that it was not fair, so they held a meeting. Everybody said that he thought that Nobody should be expected to do everything and although Anybody could be expected to do anything, Everybody should do something and maybe, Somebody might do nothing but it was not possible for Nobody to do nothing. Somebody said that Nobody had done anything for quite long enough so from now on Anybody was expected to do anything. He also accepted that Anybody couldn't do everything and although Nobody could be expected to do everything it would be better if Everybody did everything.

Anybody and Everybody left the meeting confused as to what they had to do and as they discussed it with Nobody they didn't get any the wiser. Nobody told them what to do and Nobody said he could do anything but as Nobody had been told to do nothing he couldn't do anything. In the end Anybody and Everybody did something but everything didn't get done so they had to go back to Somebody and ask him how to do everything which made Somebody very angry. "Why when I ask Everybody to do everything Everybody comes and asks me how to do everything and I find out that Nobody has done anything and that Anybody and Everybody have done nothing?"

So he sacked Anybody and Everybody and kept Nobody. Somebody still had had to do everything, but as Everybody Anybody no longer kept asking him how to do everything he was happy doing everything, something and nothing while Nobody did anything.
