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

Only coz you showed me how clive when you gonna be an ACE?
ab

Just wait until you start acquiring odd looks from your fellows and co-workers when you start referring to pictures as "BLOB tags."

Hmmm I'm undecided. Coco-pops? 2 eat or not to eat? (Now IT's the mornin' for-gods-sake? and to not do so, means I have to go and put the milk back in the fridge.)
(Yes, I am hungry and bed seems eminently too sensible )

????

ACE - well i asked Peta - she said she'd get back to me.... *still waiting*....

Thanks though
oh now you've gone and made me

I can't remember, how did you find out about this site? I know I met you over in Yahoo, but was it you who signed up for a few hours before h2g2 went off line (or was that PF: MoD?)

Coco pops sound good to me an'all, so i'm of to bed with norman mailer
(he's good for my insomnia) I also think the guide should have a resident philosopher, tell Peta who was that guy from the Discworld(tm) Lyn ti weedle
nite clive ab

The resident H2G2 philosopher ACE (Academic Climate Excellent.) Hmmm,. Has promise that one, I feel.

G' Night then

Clive

Hi clive
I found h2g2 about 18-20 months ago but did'nt register because a serious illnesshad left me with restricted functional mobility(I was'nt able to sit at my vdu for more than 30 mins or so)but I used to love surfing through the guide when i was able, my favorite bits were the rpg's, do you remember "only you can save the universe"..
Anyway, i'm a lot better now so in feb i decided that i no longer had an excuss NOT to sign up....long story short, i ended up at yahoo. I'm glad i did, if h2g2 had never shut up shop maybe i'd never have meet you and pf and dragonfly and shea and happy and all the folk who make this community *special* and for all it's faults, regarding the mods, what is or is'nt copyright freedom of expression Ect. This place is (as far as i know) unique
ab

Glad you finally decided to join, ab!

umm... and that's all I have to say for right now.

Thanx Amy!

Hi AB,
(Also bows deeply to Clive, and waves to Amy and her wolves)

Love the page! The pics are brilliant - and thanks for the link! I will forgive you for inciting theft from mine whilst I was away (only a fool crosses the Grand Vizier). Incidentally, it was me that joined just before h2g2 disappeared, and I agree totally with you that it had a definite silver lining. I think it may have taken me much longer to get into the whole h2g2 experience if I hadn't met such a load of splendid people in 'the other place'.

BTW, I had a good look around outside Bush House the other night, but I failed to see any shady-looking people scurrying in with sackloads of square brackets, so I contented myself with shouting 'Yar Boo to Moderators' and running away. I now suspect I may have made an error, though, as a friend pointed out that they are probably all Mary Whitehouse-style old ladies with horn-rimmed glasses. [ to THEM]

Anyway, I for one am NOT an insomniac, just a very bad sleeper, so I am off to bed and will see you later on Sodit evening...

pf (MOD)

ARRGGGHHH! Work in six hours!

at thought of drunken retail management exsec. standing outside the beeb doing a Rab c Nessbit.
Thanx for saying nice things about my page, Clive spent *ages* showing me how to use gML(twitch)
BTW as MOD i think you should hire a captain of the pretorian gaurd to protect the warlord from assasins::looks from side to side and says sotto voce, "there watching us you know"::
good nite Pf, don't dream about customers
::Salutes formally::
ab

Assasins? oh dear.

*dons the (cross-bow bolt proof) Spikey Helmet of Warlordship*

darn ok that was a rather cool picture of me but i forgot H2G2 doesn't display empty spaces.

Rats.

I'd really like one of those hats your Excellency(h2g2's refusel to display ASCii notwithstanding) if you could spare a few Acturian $'s from the royal coffers that is.
ab grand visier (sans spiky hat)

I thought Grand Viziers wore sort-of-pointy-turban hats, along with swirly robes and neatly trimmed goatee beards. This is very important when suddenly turning on a cowering minion with an evil chuckle.

pf (Ministerial Bowler & Pinstripes)

Yes minister you are correct, but some idiot stuck my tuban in the washing machine with all the undies and now it's gone all pink.
I can't be expected to plot against counter revolutionarys with a pink bloody hat on
ab(hatless) grand visier

Well, I could lend you my spare bowler, but it might undermine the air of cold, calculating authority....

Has it got a spike? ops, you'll have to tell me later, my toast is ready. see ya later
ab hotbutterdtoast grand visier

How about going bald AB? - that can be very effective I hear for striking terror and obediance into minions (V. stern looking but a bit nippy in the winter months...)
