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

Just thought I'd stop by, since we've some friends in common (especially 2legs, who, as I'm sure you'll agree, is far from common) Have a mufflewhump!

Hi Amy, it's good to hear from you! Yeah 2legs is definitely not common, I would agree with that! Am I right in thinking that you live in the USA?

Sorry to be ignorant, but what is a Mufflewump? Is it some sort of ? If so,

Yep, I'm in the US, whick is why I can't make the UK meets in the flesh

The definition of mufflewhump is at the bottom of my space

Oh, so it could be a ! Excellent. Have you ever been to a meet in the flesh? I did see you at the 25th Jan meet on paper. As I'd only been a researcher for a few weeks, I did wonder what that was all about! Whereabouts in California do you live? What's that like, is it all sunshine and smiles like the media hint at?

I got to go to a meet last summer, in Pennsylvania, and did some write-ups for on it (Yes, I said 'write-ups'--plural) I'll get you the links later, if you're curious

I'm in Sacramento, California--sort of middle, northern. And it's not sunny all the time, just like London's not always rainy and foggy... OK, maybe that's a bad analogy, considering the weather discussions I've seen on here Anyway, the media's about as accurate as you'd expect...

Pennsylvania is quite a trek for you, isn't it? My husband's family live in and around Pittsburgh.

Yeah I'd love to see the meet reports!

Being British - here's the weather conversation! I live quite close to London, and I can assure you that it is quite rainy and/or cold for probably 8 months of the year. However today it is glorious sunshine and unseasonably warm for March - 16C, which I believe is about 55 Farenheit.

Very nice. Too good to be sat in the office. I'll probably go for a smoke break soon, and make the most of it!! From that point of view, it's a good thing that things are so relaxed in here right now. Nobody bats an eyelid no matter how many times I go outside during the day.

Yep--I flew all the way across the country--my first ever flight, too

Fair warning--I like footnotes... But then, you saw that on my space

Blimey! That's what I call a meet. The last one (Unofficial) in London could probably be described as - "Went to the pub: got drunk and had a lot of laughs; went to another pub; went back to the first pub and got more drunk". I reckon 2legs could probably vouch for me on that!

Probably
