...hoping there is one.
Driver teleports to counter avoiding jingle noise from substandard door. Thinks that standard " Happy to open for you." message must have been disabled by new owners.
Two or three shady types occupy table by window looking out at estate.
"It's not for sale." Driver says, thinking shady types look like hitchhikers from thhgttg, towels casually strewn around a dead giveaway.
"Cup of coffee, two sugars and a donut please?" he asks and sits at a nearby table, setting his mobile ( insert suitable object later ) beside him on the table top.
The wait-droid arrives with his order, he looks up. "Marvin, nice to see you, see you got a job then?"
Marvin sulks....

My, my! I thnk you've been drinking shandy haven't you? That's not a robot that's the frothy coffee machine. But here's your coffee and a nice jam doughnut.
Oh, ignore those two blokes in the corner. They aren't hitch hikers they're just street sweepers who normally pop in here for a warm and a cuppa when the weather is cold.
Do you take sugar in your coffee?

Don't really want to be downbeat about this, but why not....
I would try to bring in HHGTTG bits to stuff I do in here, but I've only been here a couple of weeks, maybe that will pass.
You had 2 researchers, or 3 ?, call in to talk about tea and towels , to suddenly call them road sweepers is something else.
I tried to introduce a character who I thought would put a bit of interest into your cafe, by having the robot "marvin" as the attendant, you turned ths into a tea urn or something.
Maybe you havn't read the books or something.
I can't see where I've gone wrong in this.
Talking doors?
Towels?
The spitfire flying in the window may be more Dirk Whatshisname than hhgttg, but that wasn't me who contributed that.
Thought this could have been good...
pity it hasn't worked.
bye.

Hello morgasta and other personalities, If this is spelt wrongly I apologise.
I spent a long time thinking about my reasons for replying to this the way I did, so it wan't childish pique, adolescent ignorance, or any other age related personality disorder that you care to come up with.
I do really feel I have a right to be annoyed at you asking how old I am. That has really soured this whole episode for me.
If you go back to the beginning, this is h2g2 and it is another part of the book/record/computer game/radio series/television program from the imagination of Douglas Adams.
So you have COM.CAFE, a new researcher, then "Door Bell Jingles", the first visitor.
Then you arrive and you're the one who mentioned towels, there's Spitfire, and me.
I thought it looked good and added a bit, which got me into this.
The point is,
At least one of the first visitors was female.....Two blokes in the corner,
Researchers/hitchhikers/towels.
I'm getting tired of this.
Go back to the start and look at it again, and f you still feel the same, then I'll take my bit out and forget about it, It's not worth the sxxt this is generating.
bye..

C'mon mate...don't be offended by it! Sorry if you took it the wrong way but you've got to admit that thisi s getting a bit silly now, arguing over a made-up piece of text on a screen!!!
Just accept that we're all human and this isn't *really* h2g2 it's real life...
Why are you offended about me asking your age? It really doesn't matter.
What do youwant us to do to make you happier?
