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

Have just been familiarising myself with all the conversations on the Ask the h2g2 community and stumbled upon one from ages ago called "Calling all Northern Irelanders" - you probably dont much care any more but Im from Norn Irn, Portrush to be precise, but currently living in Portstewart. Just thought I'd write you here rather than bring the old thread to the fore.

ooohhhh
a Portrush/portstewart person!!

What a nice suprise!!

I'm from Coleraine!!!!

Do you think we already know each other?

I dunno - you wanna play the 'yes or no' game til we find out?

I'll go first, are you under 30?

Just realised that this is kinda unfair in your favour cos my space gives away loads, whereas I cant see much in the way of clues in yours

sorry...did that to keep people guessing - don't want a load of totally scary people pestering me online when i can't control it.

anyway...yup i'mn under 30

forgot to ask something....mmmmmm..

are you a good old student?

Nah I graduated from Jordy in 99. Portrush born and bred. Well I was born in the Route but you know what I mean.

Okay my question - where do you go when you're out for the night?

yeah i get what you mean bout the Route..,..think the sames for me too

where do i go? that ain't a yes or no answer question.

but i'll answer anyway.

got a few meeting during the week soi i don't really go out out then but on saturdays go to Exodus in portstweart.

what bout you???

D'oh I meant to put a suggestion of a place name after but forgot my apologies. My idea and I cant even abide by the flaming rules!

Im a Kellys/Anchor man myself. Dont go out so much these days right enough, weekend nights out can be too busy for my liking and I prefer week nights but I work every morning so I dont go out much then either. Oh to still be a stude!

Okay, a proper yes or no question this time - are you a student?

yup

no doubt bout that one.

i'm in 2nd year at coleraiune uni.

in the library now actually.

ok....question for you....do you like tv?

ok dumb question i know, but can't think of any good ones.

Love TV! Particularly Buffy, Angel, Scrubs, Oz, Fame Academy, Big Brother type stuff.

So are you not originally from Coleraine then?

Oh and Alias, Charmed & Friends.

well actually lived in Coleraine all my life....just didn't want to go away for uni coz there are things here i didn't want to give up.

You're preaching to the converted here medear - went to Jordanstown myself and came home every weekend. I notice you havent asked a question so I'll do the honours - did you go to Girl's High? Inst boy myself, class of 96.

yup...CHS class of 2001.

and by the way.....i HATE bottle green. Can't stand that colour!!

Had to wear it for 7 years - yuck!!

So what didf you think of you're stripey blazer??

Hehehe, bottle green's none to flattering like! Hated the stripey blazers obviously but strangely when on field trips and hearing them being made fun of made me feel all protective and defensive and being a rather large gentleman, the blazer-slating always came to an abrupt halt.

May I ask what you're studying? Law & govt boy myself and I believe they do that at coleraine now so Im intrigued as to whether we've been doin the same course.

actually i'm doing social psychology

and don't freak out bout it...most poeople just look at you funny when you say it....like you can read their minds or something stupid like that.....and they always ask what you can do with it like just coz you ain't doing medicine to be a doctor or something it's not gonna get ou anywhere.

sorry...bit of babble there.

so you were really defensive of your blazer? why? can't imagine too many people defending the bottle green.
