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

Heh heh heh...

Yep, something like that.

Yes, RE. I'm not doing Philosophy because they're not doing a Philosophy course... Nor are any other colleges anywhere near... I just have to make do with RE.

¦M¦

Hmm... so, I have to get my revenge over you in every forum we meet?

*Begins thinking up possible ways for getting her name on every modern fighter plane.*

Aw heck, that's bad. They do a Philosophy course here. But even this course has some overlap with religious issues...

What? No, don't be ridiculous.

Tell me if you think up a plausible one!

*starts seriously considering moving... *
Well, yes, a lot of philosophy has stuff to do with religion. The question over the existance of a god is a prime example of that...

¦M¦

It's just that you seem to get the upper hand sometimes in most forums. I'll get my own back, believe me!

Will do! This could take some time though...

Yeah, well, I knew that!

So I go AWOL for a week, come back to my homespace, and collide with a conversation half as long as the Guide itself. Maybe I was away too long- I guess I'm just not quite as involved in H2G2 as you guys are.

But never mind! I'm back!

And the things that did leap out at me as I skimmed through the mountain of text was Ms. Ming's escapades- designing parts of fighter planes, taking five AS- levels (Does that include General Studies?), and, of course, the novel writing. How you find time for it all i do not know. You know what, I think the only reason why I do almost all the same things as you is that you do everything!!! And wait- you're doing something in engineering? Guess what- I want to be an electrical engineer. Arrgh! You're my twin!

Prof. Tonks, the idea that you've got a website dedicated to your novel is impressive, to say the least. It's getting late right now, but I will read all about it at some stage. Gordon Bennet, though, I don't even let my family read my novels, yet you've got your's international exposure?!?!?! I'm in your shadow here.

Well, that's Hotblack's entry for another week. I should have stayed dead- it takes less effort.

I'll see you next time I bother to show...

Thom

LOL! Half as long as the Guide itself indeed... you haven't seen anything yet!

Smileys: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/Smiley

Do enerything? Me? Good grief, no, I'm far too lazy for that...
And who said anything about me writing a novel? I write short stories... although admittedly I have made a start on what I hope will turn out to be a book.
Argh! I have two twins!!
*grins* I never show my stories to anyone either. Except people on h2g2...

*grins again* Don't worry, the Prof is currently in Paris, and from this Sunday I'll be in a tent in Sherwood until the 11th August... so you won't come back to a lot of backlog for a while! :-

¦M¦

This is more like it. I come online, and there's just one posting for me to catch up on. Don't get me wrong- I love all your words of wisdom, but when there are more words of wisdom than I can comfortably count in a lifetime, it starts getting a tad difficult to catch up...

Thank you!

So wait... You don't write novels, but you are writing a story which you hope will turn out to be a book. Now, I may be a little unclear about the definition here, but... ()

Does that make me part of a triplet? Or is your other twin an actual twin?

A tent, eh? Give me a house anyday. And gai Paris! Fantastic city. I went there for a weekend a couple of years ago, and thanks to my Mum's organisational skills, I got to see most of the famous Parisian landmarks. But we ran around so much that I needed a holiday afterwards...

Hope you both have/ had a great time, anyway.

Hotblack

LOL! Ah, you get used to a lot of backlog once you've been on h2g2 for a bit.

They're always updating those smileys, you know. We recently campaigned for a D'oh smiley, and lo and behold, here it is!

Well, novels are usually longer than some books, but... I can see where you're coming from!

I think by second twin she means me, for various reasons. That would make us twins/triplets, Hotblack!

You're right: Paris is great! I got back a few days ago but somehow lost this conversation. I was going to write about what I did there, but now I'll just settle for uploading a few funny photos taken of myself in a drunken state.

Hello everyone. It's me again. The internet messed up for a long time and I've only just got it back, so that's where I've been.

Novel writers, eh? You're all budding Jeffry Archers (hee hee hee sorry).

I can't believe the appallingly terribleness of the name of the new star wars film - "attack of the clones" - what's that all about? It sounds like a 1950s b-movie or something.

Well, that's about all i can think of saying.

Except...

goodbye.

Yay!! You've come back!
Damn connection... *frowns*

I am not going to comment on this matter.

Ooh, there's a new Star Wars out is there? Is this when the really annoying hype hits the headlines? And we're informed of people queing up two days before the first showing to see it? Strange lot, they really are.

Well, I'm back from camping and feeling much better for coming back on h2g2.

Wibble!

¦M¦

Hello.

I can't think of anything to say.

I want a gun.

Hello!!

I just want to shoot as many different types as possible... I think...

¦M¦

What ho, JCDenton, and welcome back! Sorry to hear about the connection.

Jeffrey Archers indeed! Deary me, his situation does make me laugh - a liar all throughout his life, and now finally in jail!
Of course, it isn't actually a good thing that he's in jail (taken from the perspective that no one should have to go to jail anyway), but he deserved it, methinks.

Hmm, I ought to take up guns at some stage in RL. That'll keep me up to date with my VR self!

Is that really what the new SW film's called? Goodness me...

I'll say one thing for J. Archer: He knows how to make life interesting. I heard he's been getting threats in prison. One time he had to defend himself with a cricket bat, and now he's hired a violent bodyguard who he pays with £5 telephone cards. But then, I read all this in the Daily Mail. Don't really know if it's credible or not.

I had to ask this: What were your GCSE results? I know Mr. Denton's, of course, but I've got to know how Prof and Ming the Merciless fared. I got seven A*s and 2 As (Geography and English lit.) Can't complain - I hate Geography anyway.

And about this Star Wars title: does "you can't judge a book by it's cover" apply to Hollywood films? I hope so, 'cos we're all going to see it eventually.

Hotblack

The Daily Mail? Credible, probably not...

Hey, well done!!
And how did Mr. Denton fare?
I got three A*s, five As, a B and a D. Almost what I wanted.

Yes, I expect it does. But then I'm not really one to judge, I hardly ever go to see films...

¦M¦

/How/ may A*s??? Goodness, just look at my user page...
Still, it'll get me into college, and after that GCSEs mean nothing! Bwuahahahahah!!!
Plus, my skills lie in fields not creditable to GCSE exams.

But yes, well done Hotblack!

I know someone who is going out with someone who got 10 A*s!! But then she's at a private school...
But yes, once A-levels are done GCSEs mean nothing, and A-levels are rather more specialised in what you're best at.

¦M¦

Precisely!
*Leans back and waits for all the Physics, Maths, German and Computing to just wash over him. *

Well, i got 4 A*s, 4 As and a B. That damn English Literature. If only i could have done World Domination Strategies instead.

Oh well.

Prof. Tonks do you play online games like Counter-Strike or Day of Defeat? If so I'll have to challenge you to a game.

Anyway...I'm getting new drum stuff!!! Hooray.

And yes, i do play the drums. I try anyway.

Hey, those are good results, JCD! Well done!

Indeed I do play online! Unreal Tournament mostly, but Counter-Strike too.

I never took up the drums. I'm very good at drumming on my desk here though, and can get quite a complicated beat going. Not drums though.
