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

... this is also a provisionally hello on behalf of the h2g2 Guardian Angels. I am a member, but I have been soooo busy reading fanfiction (as you can see from our other conversation )that I am a bit out of touch. Anyway, welcome here at h2g2 and have fun!

WHICH CONVERSATION???

I REPLY TO MOST THAT I FIND...

OH THE FANFIC... READ THIS CONVERSATION FIRST....

As an ACE (yes, another!), can I just make a small request? Although you weren't to know, printing a message entirely in capitals is seen as shouting, which is obviously not as polite as you would like! If you want to emphasise a particular word, it is best to put it in asterisks, like *this*, not like THIS. It just comes across better here!

From your Space it looks like you'll fit right in here- sci-fi fans by the multitude!

Hope this didn't offend, and *do* drop me a line if you need anything (though I'm sure your ACE will be there too)

ANY CHANCE YOU CAN TELL ME WHY MY SPACE HAS THREE OF MY LINKS AT THE SIDE BUT THE FIRST ONE ISN'T?

Yup, found it. I analysed your page and found the error.

Here:

I: Apocalypse Now

...you have an extra space between 'LINK' and 'H2G2'(though I don't know if that matters or not), and also you have missed out the A at the beginning of the number, It should look like this:

I: Apocalypse Now

Hope this works!

PS Another thing that makes it easire in GudeML is to space everything out, eg put each new link on a new line. It makes it a lot easier to change things in the future.Just a tip. I couldn't have survived my old Space without that!

I'D FORGOTTEN THE 'A'... THANKS...

Discworld Pythonist. Why do you write everything in capitals? Is your keyboard stuck like that or something?

I HAVE NO EMOTION..?
I HAVE NO SENSE OF HUMOUR..?

I FEEL LIKE A CURRY THOUGH...

I feel with you...

Although, my depress-o-meter is currently in the red zone, so I feel with everybody...

I did an online test to see if I'm depressed, it told me to go to hospital and not think about suicide!

It'll pass. Stuff works out. Just don't let youself look over the rail on top of any tall buildings!

I would never kill myself, I've seen what it does to those who are left.

Me too. If I ever have brief thoughts, I only have to read Nyssa's writings to remind me of that!

Not met Nyssa.
Seen two suicides, my uncle and his wife are blaming each other for one of them, and they have two little kids, I'm worried it might be the end for that family, I hope they pull through.

Oh, that's terrible! Sometimes it isn't anyone's fault, maybe that could be it here?

Horrid thoughts.

Well the thing is that he did it after the wife didn't invite him in, she's blaming him for not being there, he's blaming her for not inviting him in. He hadn't made up his mind to do it when he did, but he'd got a car specially for killing himself with (monoxide) which no one knew about. He's written christmas cards, all the people he'd written to were couples.
It's very sad, he was such a lovely funny person.

It's so hard on everyone involved. Suicide is so easy for those that do it, it's what's left behind that's the mess.

I agree. What's hard is that even the slightest thing could have changed their mind - a smile from a stranger, a hug, the sun being out, five minutes more sleep. It's easier when it's something like terminal cancer because there's nothing you could've done.

I usually find something to cheer me up. Recently, that meant submerging myself in nice happy-ending fanfictions. The bad ones give me nightmares though. Chrismas is here, that means even more depression than usual.
