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

No real conflict (yet)! With the amount of time I spend here it one connection seems a lot really! GD has Broad band at his house lucky person! Oh and it may only be a small point but I cant get even one cable or broad band connection here - ISDN is still mearely aspirational round these parts!

Strange as it seems I actually quite like talking to him for real


* passes round more *

good point Talking to people in RL, is something I'm getting used to again I just don't seem to get the same level of f conversation back at my father's neck of the woods: not that my Dad's no good to talk to; he is really good for talk, but the general level round here is somewhat more interesting than the "normal
" conversation thread's in Lowestoft that doesn't read right I can't figure out NEED MO
RE BOOZE! : seriously: you can't get broadband! : I only got the 1MB service as A introductory offer they just happened (not to my knoweledge at the time) had on at the time I signed up: but this is still slower than I had on "Jannet" (spelt rong probably) at Manchester, and I can't imagine going slower now So, there goes another wadge of my income well It has to be spent on something <?>

What about satellite access? I mean, know it's pretty crap compared to ISDN and cable, but still better than dial-up.

I still have an analogue phone exchange!

and we are looking forward to that 'electricity' stuff being piped to the village !

I had not looked at satalite!

It's not all it's cracked up to be you know...

*Lights a couple of candles*

*throws more coal in the dial-up boiler*

You think its a joke?!?

Oh please, you'll be asking me for a shilling for the meter next

Well actually if you have some that would be great!

I do have one as it happens

how is that!

What's electricty <?> We don't have that* from where I come from (Suffolk), But we do have this strange thing in Cambridge you sort of push this thing in to you wall and you don't need no genrator, no hourse mannure to run it on either I dont undstand myself, "being simple country lad you se" I thought NTL and BT were everywhere nowdays with their broadripoffband <?>

You can't have it for your meter though - it's a 1956 shilling (the year I was born)

*shrugs*

Oh well

*chops up the antique Carver chair and throws that in the boiler instead*

I was going to say other things here, but 'her who must be obeyed' moderated them. Actually she jumped on top of me and wrestled the keyboard from my grasp.
