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

presents are hidden in different places... with a bit of luck some will make it until christmas...

I never found where my parents hid our Christmass presents when I was child or teenager.

My left arm is rather sore due to all the shopping I did yesterday.

JA

should carry heavy loads with both arms me thinks...

The Hughee and Ralph flu bug are making their rounds again, (winter tummy bug) and also the the flashing blue box aka the Murpheys effect.


Why is when you want to find something you can never find but when you do not want it always appears. Answer you have had an encounter with the Murphey's Law syndrome. When ever I want to find a pen I can never find one but when I do not want one 6 turn up.

Forget Newton's Law, Boil's Law the real universal law in this galaxy is Murphey's Law even it's effects reach into space, the international space station and the hubble telescope.

Every time I come here, I expect an update on the digibox!!!! Shall I unsubscribe?

Keep on missing words out this week.

*...on the digibox front...*

i can't see any major news on the digibox front until after christmas somehow...

and if there is any unexpected news happening before then, we will definitely start a new thread...

this one has passed its sell-by-date by now... it only started because at the time the firewalls went down for a while...



loup

I'm off then. *waves*

there might not be any news but it is still nice to talk

manda

hi manda...

we do talk...



loup

Hi loup

and I do when I got the time

10 days to christmas

+++++++++ = day off

some days off in this quarter too but so do the kids...

hopefully the extra digibox for upstairs will prove its worth by then...



loup

after you have had a extra box for a short you will not be able to live without it, even after you get your PC
that is what happened to me and now we have two digiboxes and a PC,that is not a bad thing but it does land up pricy

manda

yeah we had to think carefully about the second digibox [well we thought about it since before summer really...]...

it kinda help but it has brought up other problems... hopefully by the time they start their holidays there will be some agreements reached among them...

i can dream i suppose...



loup

I hope there is some agreements reached, else they will two things to Argue about

are you still getting a PC

manda

yep sometime during january i've been told... will have to contribute towards some of it tho'... if not i could wait even longer... and i don't really want any more delays on that front...

also strategically speaking it has to be long enough before one of my daughters' birthday... so sometime in january seems to be the right time...



loup

I hope it all works out in Jan for you

I have got to go now.......COLUMBO.......

speak later

manda

yep... on granada plus...

talk later...

loup
