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

Thanks for your advice. I'm printing off those icons thingmeees just know. I find this all a bit weird. I don't know who the hell I'm talking to, where they are in the world and if I sound rude when I butt into conversations. But I want to make friends and get familiar with the way of things so I'm faster and know what I'm doing when I go to other web sites. My computer up until last week was an Amiga 1200(OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH). Want to buy it? Spare external drive and EVERYTHING!!!!

Hi ....Sorry, didn't see you there. Hope you liked me page

Nice try, Nyree Rose, but no thanks!

All Conversations are open, so you won't be butting in.

Two precautionary rules for the internet generally - only give out your e-mail address if you're certain it's going to be OK. If you give it out on h2g2 there are thousands of people who will then know it (members) and many more who can read it (any number, including trash-mail companies, porn etc and general creeps). And never give your home address to anyone you haven't personally met. Then you'll be OK and be able to have a safe, enjoyable experience on the net.

Look what I can do.
I've been on and off all day today. I think I might be becoming an addict!
for advice. Read some of your scribblings. Great. Had a good laugh at it all.
There are some WEIRD conversations going on in here, eh? Does anything ever get out of hand or does the jump in before that? I haven't got myself sorted with a internet deal. I think my phone bill might have gone up a bit.......Ooooops.

Hej ! ('tis the really way of saying hi or hey these days or so it seems)

Glad you enjoyed me stuff. See you can do the smileys now

Some people on this site pride themselves on being weird, on being addicted to Douglas Adams' books, and above all to being addicted to this place but they're OK really, or at least relatively harmless. rules !

I see you're getting addicted That means there's nothing you can do about it, you've sold your soul to the just for a bit of worldwide chat.




Hull, aka dollface

ps to you too !

Hello Dollface
I've been having probs with connection I think.Last night 19 Feb I couldn't do anything. I edited my space and when I went to update, thats when my computer went mad - flicking from page to page - kicking me out - not recognising me. Then I noticed that (according to my PC) no one else was on line. Does that happen often?Is it my set up? Is it a prob with H2G2??Help.......
FYI Hej is swedish for Hello. My brother goes out with a swede. Hur mar du? means how u doin'. See not just a pretty dollface!!

Hey NR, Doll, Hur mar du? The site server computers have gone temporarily mad - I've had trouble for days - right now they've changed my skin from Goo to Alabaster. More info at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/F77636?thread=167829 ..it's not you, it's them. btw my theory is that hej is the origin of hi in North America....not that I'm always right, of course... Nice to hear from you, sorta glad you kept off the site for a bit, but addiction's better.... Hull aka dollface

I've managed to update my space now. Had an 'orrid dream last night and have shared some of the details in my journal...The paranoia is setting in.I was having a look at the poetry page..Is it seriously only one poem per poet??Shocking!Maybe I'll just send one to you?? See you doll

Hi, Nyree Rose - Doll in a TWNC

Nice to hear from you again .

One poem per poet means for Appreciation - you can send me all the poems you want(I'd like that), but I wouldn't be able to comment in detail unfortunately

If it wasn't for the One Only rule, I could have someone's Life'sWork sent for comments

I've mosied on over to your page and it looks really good. Shame about the nightmare, but it does show promising signs of h2g2 addiction


Hull

I've tried staying away and had a go at finding some live chats. But they were awfulLots of pervy boys and horny girls.I'll send you something later.Keep in touch.I'm not having much luck talking to folk.
Bye doll

jus' keepin' in touch.

I've posted a message towards the gardening calendar.I have a rather "crammed" balcony which brings me great joy. This year I had a particularily bad years with "beasts". All these treatments for pest problems were rubbish!!I found a ladybird which I adopted in the hope it would gobble all the greenfly!The wind and snow has been vicious so far and my beautiful bulbs are on a "go-slow".But patience...patience...

Hope the weather is more kind where you are..

Nyree

Hi Nyree,

Very windy and very wet here in North Buckinghamshire....but nothing to what you guys in the North and West have had to put up with.

I hate gardening but I love gardens and garden boxes of course...actually I wouldn't mind one of them, I think I could manage.

We have had crocuses for a couple of weeks now and the daffodils are virtually bursting through

My brother now lives near Oxford.When I was down in January, everything was starting to bud.It just shows how much of a climate difference there is. The weather was so bad up here the other night, my windows were leaking.....On boxing day,1998, my roof blew off....wrote off someones car....smashed through someone elses roof...had to move out for months while the council fixed it....wasn't insured(learned a sore lesson).But despite all that, I still love weather.I've even seen three tornadoes from my living room window.Obviously not huge ones, but it made my day.

H.

I'm listening to Harry Potter on book tape whilst perusing the guide.Its a bit lame.Don't really get what all the fuss is about.Doesn't seem like anything new to me.Give me Dragonlance any day.
I had to force myself to take a break from DL recently cos I was having reality problems(Hmmm, you could say I have an addiction problem). I read a series of kids books by Philip Pullman, as my friend had recommended them.He actually won the Whitbread prize with the third in the series, the Amber Spyglass. They were aimed at kids but most definately appealed to older readers...much recommended.With fabulous cliff hanger endings..BE WARNED!!!!Get all three books at the same time.You'd regret it if you didn't!

Hi NR,

Do you mean the book version of the H2G2 by Douglas Adams ?
The book/ radio series/ tv series/dvd series this site is based on?

This is basically a fansite for that. The book's very British and sardonic, an anti-fantasy book as much as a fantasy one. I love it.

Hull

Eh??? I was talking about Harry Potter not H2g2.
Sad to hear of the death of Spike...
Goodbye...Goodbye....We wish you all the best...Goooodbyeeeee Bye bye Spike...sniff...sniff

OIC...no, Harry Potter does nothing for me either...tried reading it twice...nothing. Still, I'm not 7 years old.

Spike, one of my all-time inspirations and heroes...I miss you


Hull

I loved the Goons. Much too young to have heard them originally though!I did a huge project in English. I researched The Goon show but mainly Peter Sellars.Funny, funny people.I think they are directly responsible for most of the best comedians around.
We had snow again last night and its bloody baltic!Brrrr!
Thats me finished work for the week and have two hours to myself before I have to go back out to Band practice.(I'm in a samba band and a folk band!Don't laugh!)I made my first online purchase last night...oh, dear....take my bank card off me....Let me know if I'm boring you.....NR

Hi NR,

We had severe gales of up to 90mph a couple of nights ago, but now it's a bright, calm sunny spring day down here.

About your purchase...that's another good thing about h2g2, it's free...

Spike.....I've written a short poem about his death on my home page, if you'd care to across sometime.

Not boring me at all. Keep up dat crazee samba rhythm
