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

sorry if any letters missing, i have two k/boards both old and getting naf, jim xx

Youve worn out the keyboards with all the typing you do

I had to empty my loft not long ago for more insulation and it nearly crippled my wrists for days after, with having to heave myself from the ladders to inside.
I thought that I wouldnt be able to do that for much longer (with age and ailments), so everything has had a new home. Its either in the garage or the charity shops or the council skips.
So its one less place to clear out when I leave this house.

hi helen
-
whats in my loft is all but one item belonging to rats.
-
its ben a nice day, i had two hrs at the cyber, one of my messageboards as turned up.tech probs it said.
-
i rang rats before i went out but no answer, if a mate gordon comes this weekend to his aunts he will call in, so he might get the things down.
-
my k/board is the one i got sent by mistake over 9 yrs ago, the other is from a friend thats dumped virgin for sky, now she aint happy ,inernet she said is yucky. jim xx

I have 2 telepest keyboards going to waste. 1 is hardly used. My daughter had a box in her room for a while, but didnt use it much.
I suppose if I bothered to get them to fix it.......

Ive been having a slow clear out of everything. Im taking a load to church today to be sold off at the summer fair. If I carry on, I will eventually get rid of it all.

hi helen
-
a k/board now if you can find one at things like bootsales are a £1 or two, to say at one time £30 down to £15.
-
rats didnt show up last night, i thought me wouldnt, so have to wait for him to get off his a--e and sort the loft
-
unless my mate gordon calls this weeknd, jim xx

When I bought mine it was £29. I wasnt sure if i wanted to pay that much for anything, but I had plenty of use out of it. It was much better than the remote

Its like a lot of things, they have outlived their usefulness.

hi helen
-
they both need all the keys taking off, and a good clean, i just never get to doing it.lazy and getting old, thats my excuse and im sticking to it .
-
i got mine for nothing, it was a screwup when they did a compitition for the cable mag, i got one sent, but about 50 others did to, and none of us won. jim xx

wouldnt that be nice if it were a holiday competition?

We usually go away for a long weekend in Llandudno in August, but none of the organisers have been in touch, so I cant see me getting to paddle this year

hi helen
-
whats an holiday, the last time i was anywhere, was in july last year at hull for two days.
-
i dont know it you got the jerno i sent on nikita, she is travelling around china, and will from time to time send me photos to link to h2g2 on the jerno.
-
ive been the the cyber this morning, but the email she sent was to active, so i,ll have to cut and paste to the thread tomz.
-
if i get the £700, i will probably invite a mate from scotland down to bradford, i spent a week up there ages ago.
-
i still want my first flight in a plane, so a trip from leeds/bradford to london or somewhere would do it jim xx

I would be happy with a day trip to the seaside, not a major trip to China

We went to Llandudno earlier this year to a Victorian Extravangza. Loads of old cars and fun fair rides and people dressed up. We took our grandaughter(6) and all she was worried about was playing on the sands, which was going to be the final plan of the day. She was worried that we wouldnt get there before it closed for the night.

hi helen
-
when i was yound and first went on the sand, i didnt like it, sand in the oes and wet yuck.
-
im same now, certain things that are yuck and to me are sticky, i tend to avoid, i hate choc all over the fingers ssgghh.
-
i used to like holding a greasey chicking leg, now it revulses me.
-
every thing i didnt like i now hate, things like, if i saw spider on a wall i would run a mile, now i just flick it off, or get into a glass and put out of a window. must be old age.
-
im at the cybercafe later, ive posted two of the photos from nikita, ive still 5 to get to show, before i can put to pictures. they open so far and free halfway, could be the sever on the pc at the cyber, or that they are in mb size, not kb.
-
if i cant get they to fully show at the cyber i,ll.see what it does at the library ones.
-
take care jim xx

this k/board needs a good clean jim xx

you should invest in some latex gloves

hi helen
-
you think, well they have lasted for years, so they will last a bit longer, dont mess or tamper.
-
but the one i use and the spare need the whole keys taking of and the k/board cleaning with something like white spirits.
-
i got caught out today, the weather was yucky and wet at 10-25am,as i went out, so i put on my white fleece, and top coat
-
at mid afternoon, the sun came out, and you could fry an egg on the pavement. jim xx

it was like that on tuesday when i went to my grandaughters sports day at school. i left my kagoul in the car and only took my umbrella. had to leave early and took my kagoul with him. typically it rained not long after

hi helen
-
t one time i would welcome the warm sunny weather, but now it sets off my hayfever.
-
rats phoned last night,at about midnight, to say that he still had the heavy things to take from the loft, i thought as the tubes and speakers wernt in the spare room, he had taken them.
-
didnt you see the photos i got from nikita, in china, ive posted them on a continueing journal.
-
in the next year she is planning to travel all over china.
-
so could be a few links on the jerno in time lol.
-
nothing on the lotto again, its the cyber at 11am, for a few hrs.
-
take care jim xx
