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

Hmm Thinker, I've been thinking (that'll be that scraping noise you heard) - did you say you work with little 'uns near Chinatown? You don't work in a building with scaffolding up the front and a canal at the back by any chance, do you? Just a thought...

Nope. But do you know St Peters Sq.?
If you see a face at the fence in the odd oval pen in the middle, probably screaming "LET MEEEE OUUTTTT!!!!!" that'll be me....

Aha! The reason I asked is that there's a nursery in the building I work in, (behind the Palace Theatre) and I thought we might be neigbours.

I do know St Peters Sq, but I never noticed an odd oval pen. Sounds like some sort of internment centre.

Unless you are talking about an odd oval biro with faces peering out, in which case - aaaaarrrrrggggghhhhh!!!

What sort of stationary do they provide you with in your office??!!
....But if you could find a way to store a few of my kids in there, I'd be very interested.

You can't put kids in a biro! You

Don't see why not. If it's a reasonably big biro. They might like it. (The kids, not the biro - that's be silly). You'd have to provide airholes and stuff. Anyhow, apparently it goes on every day in St Peters Sq. I must go and check it out.

I'll use a Pentel then, might even be able to fit an extra 3 in there....- You got a problem with that? (very low rent.....)

So that's what that odd construction is then. Somewhere to keep wayward kids and H2G2 researchers

I can see that I'm going to have to take a walk up at lunchtime to inspect this gigantic biro that I have unaccountably failed to spot when I've passed through St Peters Sq.

Wayward researchers? Where?

Oh SOD! Twisting my words again
It was wayward kids and h2g2 researchers not wayward h2g2 researchers and kids...

You don't need me to twist your words.

but you do it so well

*says nothing*















Nothing.
