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

Hi I'm spelugx (just call me 'x' easier to spell (thanks Irving)).
Welcome to H2G2. I'm am Assistant Community Editor (ACE) and I'm a sort of official greeter. I hope you find lots of interesting things around this site. To help you get started go and have a look at our newspaper (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/thepost), especially the links page where you can find all the groups and meetings places.
Personnally I like to hang out in the Aroma Café where anyone is welcome (http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A202924).

If you have any questions just reply and I try and sort them out for you .

Skip the boilerplate.....

x - a *friendly* person

Hiya x. Nice of you to drop by I've had a look at the newspaper(less) and found Hullabaloo there too. I have one question for you: would you like to join the club? If you have a look at Hull's poetry (another one should appear in the Post tomorrow (Thursday)) I think you'll have to agree that it doesn't get any more vogon than that!

I'll try to skip the boilerplate if you really think that's a good idea but I'll probably injure myself. Here goes ... ... ... ouch! Told you so

Hi

As the editor responsible for bringing Hull's poetry to the masses I feel duty bound to join this auspicious club...
Ok, cutting through the rhetoric... sign me up! I am a great fan!

Hi Shazz and WELCOME to the club! Your name/link has now been added to the fan club page - thereby doubling the membership and making the page twice as nice 8) We're very pleased to have you and Hull will be cockahoop.

Congratulations on a great newspaper by the way. It must be hard work but very satisfying.

O Worthy and Superior Shazz



I'm deeply honoured to welcome you to my humble fan club. In fact I'm cockahoop to have such a respected member of the Refined and Respectable Superior classes of H2G2 willing to condescend from her elevated social position and recognise the work of a poor poetic genius like myself This speaks of taste as well as a good upbringing - and perhaps a touch of vogonity somewhere?. In short, as I believe young people of today say, you're now in the club. Welcome again, and thrice welcome!

Your humble servant,



Hullabaloo, (Poet and Tragedian)

Why thank you Hull

Perhaps I can commision a scribbling from your elegant pen for myself sometime... it's not often one can ask a talented to immortalise oneself!

Maybe an ode to which I seem to have attracted to me since the Dutch Meet? I am getting ewest to them now and they would all be baa-lihooped to be mentioned in print.

Fair Lady,


Is that as in chocolate and sheep or as in chocolate sheep?


Graciously,


Hulabaloo, (Poet and Tragedian)

as in chocolate sheep

They have taken a shine to me for some reason... they are so pretty and look good enough to eat!

They are, however, chocolate coloured rather than composed of

I believe that Lighthousegirl has attracted some ... cappacchino-coloured sheep!


shazz

Shazz -

My goodness, what can it all mean


Hull

Maybe your vogon poetry can uncover the secret!


shazz

Fair member of the h2g2 aristocracy and discerning classes

We shall see. Unfortunately even such an exalted personage as your gentle self may have to wait, since I have no room at present on the top page of My humble Space and already I owe a poem to Beth, muse of my endeavours in the bowels of literature.

I shall also need to await Inspiration, of course.

But fear not, fair maid, now that you're well and truly in the club an ode will be winging your way as soon as Heaven allows.

Humbly yet Graciously



Hullabaloo, Poet and Tragedian

Fear not, gifted Hullabaloo

I am a very patient person... even though my Pentium Processor 3 blew up yesterday one year and two weeks after purchase of same!

Greetings Shazz Of The Many Emoticons

What on earth were you doing to your poor P3, (as I believe young persons of today refer to it as)? Did the Fan break down? Art thou angling for a new computer for Christmas?


Hullabaloo, (Poet and Tragedian)

I believe that it was the fan indeed!

Methinks that there will be a roaring and gnashing of teeth at a certain store here later today...

Meanwhile, I have most of my database transferred to the other computer in the network... handy having two compies eh?

I think that I may well write my editorial based on these experiences... froma purely (almost) computer illiterate point of view, naturally!

I limited the emoticons to one this time... restrained or what!?


shazz

++ =1??


Thou know'st that thou should have get an AMD Athlon system anyway, dost thou not?

Give 'em Hell


Concernedly,


Hullabaloo

'should have get' being a Postmodernist touch...emphasising the inescapable ambiguity of propositional discourse......

One in my actual posting Hull

My monicker doesn't count!

Anyway... I've offloaded the now!
Just got to find time to put the rest of the Meet pictures up sometime

Shazz

I've dun yore pome. Have a look at me home site.

Gracefully,


Hullabaloo (Romantic Poet and Tragedian)

My own Vogon Poetry... and so complimentary.

That is wonderful Hull

I shall copy it and pin it up on my 'office' wall

Now see what you've done! Emoticons breaking out all over the place!
