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

Hi - Bassman here.

I'm on a mission to get more widely known amongst the H2G2 researchers - and to make some new friends. I am employing the "Send a message to whoever's name is next to mine on the Who's Online list" method....

Guess what.... It's your turn today

I see you're a Cynic and a member of the Classic Goo and Queen fan clubs - Me too!!



Bassman

Rockin'!
Yuppers, I join lots of aka's groups 'cos they're just awesome.. and I happen to actually have the required traits for them (i.e. liking Queen, using Classic Goo, eating cheesecake..)

It's fun to go introduce yourself to new people.. I kind of look at H2 as my own personal chat room, and of course everyone wants to hear from me Sound egotistical don't i? (I'm not)

So how's things?

-Peter, the girl.

Things are cool. I'm a little achy at the moment, I gave myself a good work out at the gym today - and yesterday - finding muscles I didn't know I had, or had forgotten about. I've got that content but knackered feeling....



Bassman

Ack! A gym person! I'm very anti-movement of any kind.. Although I'm about to go toss myself in the pool, it's quite hot in here!

Glad you're enjoying your workout high..

-Peter

Well it's tainted by the fact that I'm at w**k right now, could do with being in bed!! Just over half way through my shift.... I can feel a coming on



Bassman

*passes over the *

W**k is horrid, how do you earn your dough? I'm a copy consul at Kinko's.. Not for long, but eh.



-Peter

I'm a Flight Simulator Maintenance Engineer - that's why I'm the Patron Saint of Flight Simulation

It has it's moments. I've been sorting out all the spares we've been supplied with for our new machine, a tedious job but somebody's got to do it I suppose.

A girl called Ben & Lighthousegirl have both been for a little fly, which they both enjoyed.



Bassman

Right on!

Hey tedium is highly underrated.. I actually kind of like having a boring job.. Gives me more time to think.

Hey, flight simulators sound like a fun ride..



-Peter

aww doesn't work capitalised now does it...



-peter

I was sitting watching one of the other guys flying the other night, I thought my single engine flying was much better than his with both engines going!!



Bassman

So you think you're good then eh?

-Pete

I'm not too bad. I'd like to know how many flying hours I've done over the last 22 years, that would be an interesting statistic....



Bassman

22 years? I'm guessing in the thousands?
That it would, sir, that it would.

-pete

If I only did a couple of hours a week - that would be over 2000 Hrs in total. I never thought it would have beenas much as that



Bassman

Wow, that's a lot of time there, flyboy.. (Just joshin' about the nickname)
Although I've probably spent that much time on the Internet.. scary..

-pete

I've probably logged that many just at this site in the last 3 years



Bassman

I wonder how much time at work I've spent on here.. How many hours I've got paid for chatting on message boards..
=pete, whose 5 month anniversary it is today!!

I've spent virtually a whole 12 hour night shift doing this before now....



Bassman

Holy Cow!



I've only spent an 8 hour shift..

O' course not getting paid I've spent like 13-15 hours at a stretch..



=pete

I don't get that much uninterrupted time when I'm not at w**k. You have me beaten - I know my match when I see it....
