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

You're in good company there. It's not really a quiz for me, and I feel excluded, which is why I was only in there at the start, then just ed.

Sorry to hear you're still not better.

Well you've had some good guesses and lurking is probably best because it eats you up.


I don't know what I'm going to do - back at work tomorrow but not recovered yet.

It only eats you up when you're from the UK and remember all those series. I was never allowed to watch much TV, and I haven't a clue about all the British series, so I'm pretty relaxed about it.

I'm sorry you'll have to go back to work without feeling better.

Off to vote now, general elections here.

See you later.

Wow, election on a Sunday


Hope you pick a winner.

Well, they won't get the majority, but hopefully enough for a coalition with the bigger party.

I'm not sure it's such a good idea to have elections on Sundays.
Maybe more people would go and vote if they'd get time off work for it, like in other countries.

We usually have elections on Thursday as far as I remember but the polls open from 7am until 10pm so you don't get time of work to vote.

My big bug-bear is why we close schools to allow them to become polling stations - it's not like we're short of church halls, orange halls, activity centres, there's one on every corner and voting could easily take place there and let the kids go to school.

Don't get me started.


Right - gotta do some housework.

Good evening and Happy Easter.


Hope you're well and everyone at home is behaving themselves (do you still have anyone at home??)

Sorry, missed this for a moment.

I have everybody at home, but they've behaved mostly well recently.

How are you?

Yes madam, you must be terribly busy ... as usual.


I'm glad everything is good at home and you seem to have had a great time at the meet. Shame I didn't notice anything about the Belfast meet, I'm a bit disappointed I missed that.

I imagine you're disappointed. Somebody could have told you.

Oh don't worry ... there'll be others I'm sure.


So how are you?

Tired, but fine.

How are you?

A bit iffy at times but still breathing and still as busy as ever so can't complain.

Monday is a Public Holiday so I'm looking forward to having a lie-in.

We had ours today, which feels a bit like a cheat as most people are off work on Saturdays anyway.

That doesn't seem fair - that's why we have ours on a Monday so that the majority will benefit. Shops will all be opened on Monday though so the rest of us can spend all our money.

That sounds hardly fair for those working in retail.

Anyway, I'm off to bed now. Goodnight.

goodnight, sleep tight.

I won't say when I'll catch you again ..... I'm in and out at the moment.

So am I.

Snap ... now I'm out.

You do that on porpoise, I know that.
