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

it was a reward for being one of the top stores in my last job ......i stayed long enough to win the holiday and then left!!

can you imagine it -all expenses paid. let's just say the flowed very freely

but i haven't been abroad since and that was almost 4 years ago!! awwww
*a single tear trickles down her cheek*

For the lack of travel opportunities. I never flew til i was 34, bloody hate it too, but i love the places i go to, so no choice really.

Good travel chances once you pass your degree though Quark, most of the Astronomical work is in the U.S. or OZ isn't it?

By the way have you seen a film called 'Local hero' ?

not doing a degree in atronomy - yet, am just at stage of doing some open uni courses . haven't quite decided what to do.

local hero - just fab , da, da, da daaaa,dada dadadada daaaa, - btw why u ask?

sorry grammer part of brain now gone too

am off to bed
tomorrow hopefully i will be in a better humour.

sleep tight St Elmo
see you in the morning

are you back to work this week?

My favourite film ever, saw it long before i knew or married a Scot.


Every time i talk to you it reminds me of the film ;'Keep an eye on Leo McIntyre, i'm expecting great things' The heavens ,East coast Scotland.................have you still got a red phone box?

It was actually filmed reasonably near you at Pennan, just north of Aberdeen.

Stop me if i get boring

Yep i'm back tommorrow


Night night Quark sleep well.

a good day to you, young sir. i hope this beautiful day finds you well

have gone all formal

i always thought of myself as a more 'whisky galore' girl , but local hero will suffice!

how's Mrs SE doing?, has she ridiculed your attempts at housekeeping yet?

i hope you noticed i called you young, the heat must be making me delusional

The heat must be affecting me too, i started to believe you .It sounds like you've had a jolly day anyway, how is the foundation garment industry during the heatwave?.

I have been melting today, and it is now starting to wear down my natural good humour.. This was not helped by TWFF, looking behind all the cushions, and discovering my junk hideout.

Still waiting for a storm.............i shall think of cape town when it comes

we're selling lots of t-shirts and shorts, to people who shouldn't really be wearing skimpy shorts

it's one of those days when don't want to go to work, you know you should be able to have, maybe, 5 can't be bothered-days each year. u just phoned up and say code cbb, and all is well and u can go back to bed!!

anyway i suppose i'd better go

have a good one

Still no rain, Quark .

I have 6 of those can't be bothered days each week.............it's a result of my advancing years i reckon.I haven't yet got to the stage of wearing shorts with sandles and socks however, but who knows.

Will phone work tommorrow and quote code CCB, i think it's a winner, i'll let you know how i get on.

evening petal
not staying long tonite, am very very
i reckon it all that hard work i did today, you know lying in the park with the sun beating down on me, reading my book, and listening to my cd's

oh my life is sooooooo hard

back to work tomorrow

Petal?

Youv'e had the best of it today then Quark, i was up at 4am today, and the same tommorrow, so i won't be around long either

I guess that's the big advantage of your studies, you can just lie in the park looking at the sky and say 'I'm revising'.

true true, but that only really works at night.!!


i'll be thinking of you at 4 am as i turn over and snuggle back down for another couple of hours sleep

i might even feel the tiniest bit guilty ....... but then again maybe not

If you hear a truck tooting it's horn outside your window at 4:30 in the morning you'll know i'm thinking of you too . It will also be the fastest truck journey from Oxford to Scotland ever

Off to now Quark, have a nice day retailing,


St. Elmo the pooped out.

good evening my little fluff bundle and how are you today?

all ready for a weekend off then?, i'm awaiting the aarrival of the coming hurricane - my nephew is coming to stay tomorrow night

he's only 6, bless him, and is at that age where everything is a question!

have got in plenty of to bolster my energy levels

Hi Quark, my little Scottish stargazer.

I guess at this point you are answering your 5,000th 'Why Auntie?'.I've bought you some extra supplies of , just in case. Just finished work, and not back til Tuesday now, plenty of is called for i think.

well hello there oldster
yes, i have survived . had a packed weekend, and now am feeling a bit lost as the flat is quiet and no-one is asking me any questions !

hope you've had a good weekend, with lots of

Good evening Quark the younger,

* Parks zimmer frame up against wall next to little tartan shopping trolley *

It's always the same with you Scottish women, all nicey nicey to start with, then they start the verbal abuse. OLDSTER ?.Just when i thought i'd managed to put the thought of 40 behind me.

Glad you had a great time with the nephew, they're little treasures at that age.. Our two youngest have taken the question asking to new heights, they now listen intently all day to everything we say, then ask all thier questions at bedtime.

'Why did you call that man in the car a git daddy?'

' Does it really take mummy hours to get ready?'

'What was that word you said to the man on the phone?'

lol, oh i am soo glad i don't have any children!!

my friend's oldest daughter came up with the classic question -'what is the tide?', yes, that left me somewhat flummoxed . how do explain to a 10 year old about that.
you know i think they don't really want to know the answer to the questions they just like to see you squirm!!

btw, nice trolley , i especially like the horn

i think i'd better buy myself one for my birthday, it gets closer everyday

have a good day

Twas a nice day thank you Quark,

We've been out getting Hamilton's birthday presents today, he's 6 on Thursday. It's the kids growing up so quickly that shows you how the years are passing . Glenffiddich came out with a good brain teaser today, just as i was trying to find a parking space ;' So who was God's mummy then?' Is there a good time to explain the big bang theory to an 8 year old?If there is , it's not half way around an M&S car park.

And don't even try to imagine the horror of a well placed sex education question in the checkout at Tesco's .Everybody in the queue leans forward to see how you'll deal with that question. Mrs. Airscotia has threatened painful injury if i say ' Ask your Mother', once more.

When's the birthday then Quark, and how old?

St.Elmo the inquisitive.
