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

Hello WD

I had a about the GR Manoeuvre which I posted to the Scouts egroup, and Anna suggested that put it to you (as you seem to have started the account) and the others who use it regularly.

Here's what I said:

*************

From the GR Manoeuvre's personal space:

"If, however, it is found that the persona is abused, then it will be
deleted, either by Witty Ditty, or in the event that the password and
username are changed, then by a formal request to the h2g2 Editors."

In the event that it should happen, rather than deleting it, how about
simply changing the logon and password and then posting the new ones here on the volunteer lists?

**************

Does that seem like a worthwhile idea?

Hiya there!

That is what I did think at first, but there have been a few cases where open-persona accounts have had their password/username changed, and that's why I wrote that. In the event of not being able to access the gown and scythe, it might be necessary to go to the top to get things wrapped up.

It was also in part to send a message that this was a serious aspect of the Reaping process, and that if anyone wanted to mess around with it, action would not only be swift, but vaguely harsh too... I do see what you mean though.

Unfortunately, as I don't have access to the volunteer lists, that might be a bit difficult... hmmm.

How do think it should be worded?

if I'm sounding a bit vague, but I'm moving house this weekend, and wondering exactly how much more I can eat...

Stay ,
WD

Oho! You'll be needing this then A575606. It's something I began to write after 12 years of being 'man and a van', and then discovered that there already was an Edited Entry covering the subject

I'm getting ready for work at the mo, so I'll give the GRM thing some more thought tomorrow

I've had my fair share of experience in moving house (or in this case - flat), but according to the map it's not that far away; just the other side of a park - so I've persuaded the parental unit to do it in 2, maybe 3 trips

Rather - they persuaded me. I wanted to do it in one, then realised that I simply couldn't

Thanks for the tips! I'll read them in due course

Stay ,
WD

I remember the last time we helped you move house...

Ah - but this time, I definitely have less stuff - and on the map, tis only across the park

So it won't be so bad this time

It better not be... aren't you supposed to be working?

May I ask which park? I still like to keep in touch with things in London, having lived there most of my life, and spent a good deal of that time getting to know it extremely well by driving around it for a living.

Gunnersbury - on the map it looks quite easy....

Gunnersbury you say... are you familiar with any of the riverside pubs along Strand-on-the-Green?

Not yet - but I'm sure I will be in due course....

Any recommendations

Well, I used to work at one of them before I upped sticks and moved to Texas. The City Barge. It's the middle one of three - The Bell is closest to Chiswick Bridge, then the Barge, then The Bull's Head. I don't know what the current managers are like, so the place may have changed somewhat. The managers I worked for who turned the place around and made into the best of the three, moved on to another pub a coupe of months before I left.

It's also the pub used in The Beatles film Help - the bit where Ringo falls through a trapdoor into a cellar with a tiger

Wait a minute... you're a medical student and you haven't visited every pub within a 20 mile radius of your digs?

*Faints* ::THUD::

Well, as a fresher, my halls were in S. Ken, where the beer is expensive and the clientele is so well heeled you would have thought them shoes....

Also, I have roughly 3 areas to 'explore' (read, get ), as I have 3 main hospitals to go to - so give a another 3 years, and I might just wrap things up!

I've done most of the Fulham Road - so give me some credit

That was meant to be - 'when I used to be a fresher'.... long time ago now
