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

NO! Accept the horrible truth. I am not coming to the meet!!

Nor me. London is too far to get to from the South West.

Let's see, if I start walking now...3,500 miles at 15 mph, then a 1,500 miles of swimming a little faster...hmmm I should be pulling into the Thames right on time if I have a tail wind.

From the south west of where ?

I'm comming from another country (well wales)...

Math

Yeah..I'm coming from the Western US..no distance excuses. Saturnine, you suck.

South west of Canada if you are talking to me. We have a rhyme we learn early in school. *A thousand miles of mountain, a thousand miles of plain, a thousand miles of country, and then the sea again.*

Careful, the Master at Arms is in the house...

I'm not coming from the South West of England. Too far, and not enough money or time

I'm not coming from Bristol, because I have no f**king money. And if I *do* have the chance to have cash, I need it to keep my mobile active and to buy supplies to write with.

Not to mention it is January, it is cold, it is wet, and they are starting up the fire strikes again. Coaches are too cramped, trains are too expensive, and I frankly cannot be a**ed to sit around in a pub at this time of year. Other things to do; none the better, but they need to be done more.

NOW. If any of you fancy meeting me, I should be at the Summer one, where I can lie on some grass somewhere, hopefully sneak away in the afternoon and get a new tattoo done, drink and be merry...also, me and Bob are kind of thinking of a Bristol meet sometime. We're currently working out where *not* to go...

And that is ALL I am saying on the topic of meets for the next month or so.

Well..since guilt-tripping you is obviously a pointless endeavor..

Bribes? Abduction? Drugs and alcohol?

We've already offered to make it quite cost-effective for her..but she hath rejected us..

Well nevermind then, we'll have to worship from afar!

Actually, all this pressure is making stuff even worse for me. LEAVE IT YE MONKEYS OF THE DEVIL!! I'll make it to a meet when I can...guilt doesn't work on me...

Shall the Master at Arms shackle and gag all those in the room, miss?

Yes. Do so. And then bring me some cookies...

ATTENTION! Please line up to be shackled and gagged. If you prefer we have handcuffs and tape. Or silk scarves. No pushing back there!


Would you prefer the chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin? I believe we have some coconut bars dipped in white chocolate in the back.....

Coconut? I COCONUT!!!!!

Chocolate chip is good too.

does that mean Saturnine gets shackled and gagged, since she's in the room?

No, because this thread is specifically about ME!
