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

Well, with some of the sidewalks, and the wheedling through busy sidewalks, we did follow you 'single-file' a lot, like lost ducklings.

Fortunately, that distinctive pony-tail was always easy to spot and follow.

See, i KNEW the ponytail was there for a reason. I don't expect to be any different when i visit your side of the pond. I'll just follow behind while you lead the way

But neither of us has a distinctive 'rear-view'. So we will have to resort to a fluffly pink rope, each holding on ...

I will be expecting you to be wearing a bright pink hat or something, just so i know which way to go

Ummmm, you have been watching way too many 1970's police dramas. Pink men's hats were never truly in fashion, except in certain 'trades'.

Oh....I'm sure i can think of something else that will stand out in the crowd

I don't think my hair will ever be up to a 'pink mohawk cut'.

Maybe a beanie cap, with a propeller and blinky lights?

I can just see you turning up for work, sporting a fuschia pink mowhawk!

Err.....I aint walking or following anyone wearing a hat with a propeller and flashing all over the place!

You know my work-place, Lady. If weekly stripey socks have raised no comments, neither would the brightest of hair.

Hmmmmm, I think I could devise some compact 'proximity detectors' ... little hand-held beepy-things ... that would let you know if we were lost in a crowd. Say, at Niagra Falls?

They don't say nothing at work probably because, they are too scared to

Niagra falls? I would love to see that

It's about 3 or so hours drive to the west of us ... An early start to a day, with passengers napping, and quite a nice day can be made of it. Mind, I do understand that a lot of the town itself has gone over to night-time adult entertainment and gambling. But there is still a lot to be seen for the family.

I would'nt be interested in the gambling or adult entertainment, just to see all that water falling would be more than enough for me.

Just to stand anywhere along miles of sidewalk, with stout railings, and watch those unimagineable tons of water thundering in ... It IS loud, as I recall. And there is a constant light mist in the air like a fog, but not one that impairs visibility. Again, there ain't nothing more impressive than nature.

Well, I will bring my umberella so i don't get wet

You won't even need to worry over that ... It's something that we can readily have on hand for you (in suitable shades of colour) and simplify your packing concerns.


* ... >>>>>>>>>>>s off to begin laminating "I's a too-rist" to apply to some brollies *

I am begining to wonder if I will be laminated when i come over

Ok, who stole my post??

And there it was back again as if by

We have already found that there is a limit to what will fit through the laminator, ... sadly. So I think that you are 'mostly safe'.

Theres that word again 'mostly'
