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

Dear Mr Ictoan,

You are hereby notified that the IT chaps in the college have merrily cancelled all the old Pegasus email accounts and handed out bright shiny Outlook ones to all members of staff.

Due to the librarian’s absence for most of the summer period she has lost all her contacts from her address book amongst which was yours. Thus she requests the use of your contacts again, if you would be so good as to send them along to:- alice_adams at talk21 dot com.

Many thanks

The rambling librarian

alice? Who the hell is alice?

I don't believe I just quoted Roy 'chubby' brown. My life is at an end, I shall go henceforth into the wilderness.

p.s. OK, will do!

*prod*

Have you finished with the wilderness yet?

The alice email account is the one I set up when I first made contact with B incase he was a and scary stalker.

Anyway, it's one I use online because no one can trace the 'real' Odo from that address.

s'okay, I'm gonna send from work, but at home today and it's been the bank holiday. I'll send tomorrow when I'm in.

I can understand the use of the email addy, eminently sensible. But the things is Odo, when you find out the other person *is* a stalker, you're not supposed to then move into the same house with them!

You OK? Guess the studnets are back in a week or so's time?

Hope you had a good weekend.

You've got me there. Where do you think I keep my sword? Anyway he may be on occasion, but scary he ain't. Well......

I'm fine; back at work and busy with enrolment which is chaos as usual. The studnets arrive back full time on Tuesday, and to be honest I'll be glad to have some of the second years back again. It gets rather lonely in here over the summer.

Ah, poor lonely Odo, stuck in a big room of books and no one to bother her.

You do realise that is akin to bliss for some of us? Although I'd probably want a bit less about various farmyard diseases than you probably have in your library!

Did you get both emails?

for the emails. All filed away safely now.

I'm quite happy to be stuck over here on my own with the books for a couple of weeks, but after that I begin to get 'cabin fever' or rather library fever. You see it’s not like being curled up happily with a book at home/on a beech/ in the country etc. You’ve got set hours and you’re stuck there for them no matter how nice it is outside.

Of course being a reasonably conscientious person I always feel guilty if I spend too much time in here reading even if there’s nothing else I could possibly be getting on with.

But if you ever want a good place to hide you’re very welcome to a hidy hole.

Hiya,

Got an error msg from your mail server at college.
It's a good one, it says:

"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at .
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out."

I know how it feels!

It's giving a 'user unknown' for your college addy. Can you send me an email from it? just to make sure I have the correct external address?

Interesting!

Ok, message on its way.
