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

Oh lookey! Missing posts. Wonder how that happened?

If ya find yerself wandering past my Personal Space, monsieur, you'll find a 'tankard of grog' to share.

And anudder note, ... I'm not gonna be on h2g2 often. My work lines are poor at the best of times. And with h2g2/BBC offering errors 9 out of 10 times, it ain't worth my while. You've the home and work 'numbers', if ya like.

BTW, I hear tell that a certain had a post or tow d. And coincidentally, someone else was on-line ...

Imagine my shock!

Oddly enough, I've received a note of "PAX". But with no more content than a smiley-thing, I'd say there's nothing worthy of a reply ...

My guess is it's a divide and conquer ploy. And a pitiful one at that.

Beats me who could be behind it, though.

Still, ignorance is bliss, eh?

Oh, be sure to check your emails later on!

Ah, the common mail lines aren't accessible to me from here. Too many blocks and walls, ya know.

So how's life in general treating ya, what with the holiday season safely behind us again?

No problemo!

Check it when you arrive safely back at the igloo.

Now the holiday season has ended and the final damage report is in, I can confidently say that this was the season to end all seasons. there will be medals handed out shortly.

However, the kids are on half term shortly and will once again be demanding to use heat and power during the daylight.

How was it for you, mon ami?

The credit cards don't seem to have so much of a latex feel to 'em anymore. So I guess we're recovering.

Kids here had the Christmas break, and don't see another until around Easter. They get 2 weeks "spring break" then.

Good to know!

I long for the day that we can take a long ocean voyage and drop the credit cards overboard (tied to DiCaprio).

sorry mate. it's not that simple

credit cards, like pidgeons, funny enough, have a homing instinct.. they would be home before you could say ....well jack rabbit, or .. jack something.. and well... sorry to tell you this but your nearest and dearest has probably memorised the number, the expiry date and the thingamy code off the back...


bummer, but there u go

i'm lockin my children in the cupboard for the week, cos i have no child minder and cant get off work.. feel free to put yours in there as well

She has at that. Though to be fair she only uses them in emergencies.

We tend to have one day.

I have the kids parcelled up and am ready to send them to Aunt Aye Bee's Adventure Cottage.

yeah. nice one, that's what we'll tell em.

but really it's just a cupboard.

they can have hoola hoops on friday if they dont scream too much...

and maybe a beer

A properly treated and they'll not be conscious enough to scream.

yeah, I've baby-sat before.

that settles it then..

cheaper than my horrendously expensive childminder an all. why didn't i think of this before...

Then consider the recipe "in the mails".

You know, we could make a small fortune here.

As well as press ganging some of them to work as powder monkeys and cabin boys.

If ya wanna ship one or two this way, ... We've a LOAD of snow expected next week, and I do have extra shovels.

forget the kids... if there's snow i'm there...

which way do i turn comin out of the car hire place??

Turn right, through 2 traffic signal lights, and another right. My driveway is easy to recognize, ... I've a very visible Canadian flag flying.

Just beware, we've a pair of demonic .

Hey mate, ... whooo-hooo ... over here !!!

Ah now, caught yer attention. We've recently undergone some serious mail-server changes at work. Mostly making stuff worse, of course. Anyway, I've did lost a lot of addresses.

Could and would you look near the bottom of my Personal Space for an envelope, and send an e-mail there?
