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

Hi NOGIN THE NOG,
I'm one of the new boys, not so young, just new around here. Trying to find my way around and wondering what to say to spark some interest. If you have a spare minuet or two please call in and see if there is anything worth comenting on. time ,have one on me

*Jumps in surprise*

Sorry. Didn't see you there. Pleased to meet you.

Yes, finding your way around can be tricky to start with; this place is bigger than it looks. I'm one of the middleaged boys, myself, on both counts. Also "retired", though not permanently, I hope.

As for finding something interesting to say, you have to sort that one out for yourself , but it's usually finding the right conversations that's half the battle. Have you tried subscribing to askh2g2 ( A148907 )? That's one of the best places to go to meet the locals and get involved.

Anyways, where are you from, and what kind of stuff floats your boat?

Noggin

Morning Nogin,
Thanks for your note. I live in Harlow Essex although origanaly I came from Walthamstow NE London. What floats my boat? Well I enjoy cooking, I dable at gardening (it either grows or it doesn't),In order to try to keep all the bits moveing I teach Aikido (martial arts)and in the vain hope of keeping the grey matter active I play on the computer. Thanks for the tip on the link, I shall give that a go.
Hope to see you for later

Hello again.

I'm originally from South London, myself, but currently domiciled in Llanelli in South Wales, where I ran A village post office for seventeen years, until I opted for closure about four months ago. Currently assessing my alternatives at the moment.

My main passions in life are philosophy and ancient history, particularly of Egypt and the Near East, but I'm an amateur in both fields; but like you say it helps to keep the little grey cells active.

I do a bit of gardening too, but as much out of necessity as choice - I've got about a quarter acre here and it's been sadly neglected for a few years, so I'm in the process of hacking the triffids back into some semblance of order; and the "lawn" has got more lumps in it than badly made custard Still it gets me out in the fresh air.

Noggin
