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

hey im bored.... wanna argue with a brit???

ill take that as a no then....

Brits suck, okay? They blow!

the food is terrible, the arrogance is unbearable, but most of all, I hate, hate, hate the....

Actually, i find pretty much everything about Brittain okay.

i bet you hate something about America, though. Most brits do.

hmmm....


where can i start about america...... there just so much to choose from ...

hehehe
ok i suppose america is ok really... the worst thi8ng would be that if i went there i wouldnt be able to drink cos the drinking age is twenty-one (im only a little baby at 18).... ahhh!!! how bad woould that be!!!!

apart from that i suppose its ok... u get better weather in some parts of america than we do like in florida... ( ok just living up to my stereotype as a brit by talking about the weather again. apparently u think we talk about the weather too much but i have no idea if this is true cos ive never been to america but if this is true i thought i might as well live up to it...)


but then again, u have loads of nasty things in america like scorpions and snakes and bugs like tarantulas( ok thats in south america!). but u have the black widows and funnel web sipders too....!!!


ok, what i would really like to know is how can all you americans get through university ( or what u call 'college') without being able to drink!!!?!?!?!?!!?that is a vital part of going to uni here....

neway this has got quite long now so id better stop beofre i REALLY start to bore u...

the drinking limit doesn't really affect one's ability to drink, just one's ability to drink in public. Kids usually easily get ahold of booze, I know for sure I did. (I'm 21.) Our weather is nice most everywhere along the coasts, except in the Northeast, where it gets to be a bit like yours. I live in Seattle and the weather here is pretty damn wonderful for most of the year.

grrrr....!!!!

well, last night we had a big storm and a flood, and today we have gale force winds to contend with....... see why we complain all the time!!!!!

ok... hmmm.... u seem to be ignoring me....i better use my english charm to convince u to reply to me....

ok so i lied..... i have no charm!!! damn!!!!!.....

ill just complain to u instaed... our computer at home is all broken now cos of stupid BT (telephone company) who tried to put in another phone for us for the interent but that di9dnt work and none of the spftware worked either and now when you start the computer up windows wont load or nething so its all completely screwed!!!grrrr....

ok ive finished that great british tradition of complaining ill move onto something else...

i get to go out tomorrow night (yeah) which i havent done for ages. its my friends eighteenth so i plan to get very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very drunk....hehe

ok ill stop boring you now....

p.s the weather here is very cold at the moment....

Hello Laura,

The weather here has been spankingly wonderful. I sat up on the roof yesterday for hours with a couple of neighbors, drinking and chatting.

I'm sorry I don't get back to you quickly enough. I only access the internet from my office, which I lurk about at late at night.

One of my most darling freinds here in Seattle is named Laura. She's twenty-five and a mother of a lovely two-year-old boy. I'm his pseudo-uncle.

I've been getting really, really turned on my Brithish music lately. Elgar and Vaughan Williams. Do you have any other suggestions? Or are you not into that classical stuff?
