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

Someone asked me for my middle name on MSN (where my nicknane is Vip). I know this person in RL. I asked whether she wanted my real middle name or my h2g2 name. And I meant it too.

Oh no...


It's Anne, by the way.

as i close my eyes, i feel it all slipping away

OOoh dear, I did have a debate today, entirely with myself, whether I should be fussy about the spelling and pronouncation of my h2g2 name... Z, spelt Z, not Zed, pronounced Zed not Zee...

Guess what? I'm actually in the computer cluster w*rking on my essay! see I made it eventually..

Hope the rehersal went ok, Neil seemed to have enjoyed it...

It could be worse vip, you could have a stupid middle name like I do. In fact I dislike my middle name so much I'm going to have to bleep it out.

Hd

Worse than Quentin Forbes as a pair of middle names?

I'd probably say Hd is a lot worse.

As I don't know what yours is it is difficult comment. And I also happen to think that Quentin and Forbes (especially Forbes ) are two really quite funky names. Maybe better as middle names, but funky nonetheless.

Ok it's Harold.

Mark Quentin Forbes Crosby has a nice ring to it

What;s wrong with Harold? One of the nicest tenors in the music department is called Harold. Or Hector, one of the two.

I've just replied to your e mail VIP...

To me it just doesn't work with Mark, which is why I prefer people calling me Croz.

Well, everyone already knows my middle name. They just usually don't realise it...

Justin is a nice name. It ought to be your first. There's no hope Vip, soon you;ll be talking in smileys, oh wait, you already do that

She even talks in smileys in RL...

That's what I meant!
