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

Long time no see. I was wondering, do you still have any spare space at your place? I'm going to be driving over on Saturday, as getting a taxi to largs might just work out a wee bit expensive. If you're full, don't worry about it.

See you Saturday

Jamie. Sorry for te late reply, mate..
Of course I have a free space for you, amigo. To be honest, I don't think I'll turn down anyone that asks for some floorspace, unless there's like 25 of us meeting up tomorrow. WHich at the moment seems highly unlikely.

Groovy

Er, have you acquired a spare watch? I can't find mine, and I have a feeling I left it on the table in your front room. If you have, no worries. I'll pick it up at some point

I haven't noticed it.. I'll have a look when I get back home today.

Jamie.. Found it.. It was hiding under the table. I put it back up ON the table, so hopefully it won't run away again.

Cool. I'll try and drop by sometime and get it - it'll be a fun run on the bike. Which reminds me, must phone up insurance company...

Damn you! Why'd you have to mention the bike? Now I'll be all jealous and stuff about that...

Speaking of bikes, what's the insurances like on bikes over here?

Generally as good (or bad) as car insurance, really. I'm paying just over £200 this year for TPFT cover, and that's with two years no claims. And the bike is fairly low risk as well. At the moment I'm not riding it because I forgot to send one bit of the paperwork back for the renewal, and so the certificate hasn't arrived yet (and the cover note I have has expired). So I think I'm insured, but have no way of proving it at the moment

I was talking to a friend who was making me jealous by mentioning he had insurance covering his car and bike, fully comp., for about the same money. Then again, he is over 50...
