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

Ah, so this would be why your old handle was derived from Red Dwarf and most of our convos concerned Marvel comics and Star Wars...?

When I've got some say in the running of the site then you might have a point.

I just thought, I don't know, he just sounds a bit petulant.

He does know how much DW influenced Hitchhiker doesn't he...?

Yes, Awix I do.

I hate to say it, Jar Jar, but I'm finding it harder than usual to figure out what you're up to. Are you doing the Reggie Perrin thing of faking suicide then lurking at your own funeral in disguise? Why the second account? What's with the rather peevish-sounding new nickname?

You'll find that this is the Fiction Central name used by myself and Verc/Terran for... Fiction Central.

I'm still looking at pages just not hanging around, unless you /want/ ignored.

Should that last sentence read 'unless you want to be ignored' - and even if it should I'm still not sure I understand it.

Are you saying the h2g2 staff should set limits on how much any one topic gets discussed?

I'd answer but my clearly terrible English grammar would be illegible so I won't waste my time or yours.

I think you mean unintelligible not illegible.

Classy.

I'm sorry, I just don't understand why you're acting so cranky. Is it something I've done or just the state of the site generally?

I'm not cranky. Just seemed to be a rise of Who plugs on the site that looked to be more the I-talics jumping on a chance to feed their Whovian appetites with new series as an excuse rather than trying to get new people in because of it or an Adams allusion.

Looks like it's stopped now anyway.

I must say I hadn't noticed. It'll probably all kick off again when the next series starts!

Anyway, it's a popular show right now, and doing DW stuff will probably attract new people to the site, which is good, isn't it?

I told you! You should have used "display Whovian tendencies" instead of "feed Whovian appetites".

Nobody ever listens...

Oh, and hello Awix, long time no see.

Hi Psyc, nice to hear from you too. How's it going?

Not too bad cheers, I'm actually quite content with my lot in life for once.

Nice to hear. I'm currently slightly hungover after my leaving-job-drink-round-town yesterday, wound up in a pub with a late license doing interpretative dancing to Pink Floyd (so at least I didn't make a fool of myself).

Yeah, would have been tragic if you'd have actually done something embarrassing...

Well, there were three of us doing it, I was quite touched by the size of the turnout (more than three, I hasten to add). Got a bit sick of all the geisha girl jokes, but there you go...

Sounds like a laugh. Glad you had fun!
