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

-Aha.. I would´nt dare claiming to be a skilled Egypthologist, but i do happen to have a keen interrest in history and mythology.. Hathor, the cow-horned,moon-crowned goddes of love and fertility.. +beauty.. -Not bad for a patron-saint! Well, gotta hit the sarchofagus for a few couple o´hours,.. Osiris aid my ressurection.. Besides,would´nt want to disturb u´r sacred cleansing-rituals.. Some other time, and thanx again.. A.D.

Sweet dreams my Danish friend (my family were once Danish fishermen who moved to the Anglian coast in times gone by), I am glad you managed to sort out a decent nickname .

You know where I am if you need me.

There is one thing though. I just came back to your homespace to see how things are going. If you have a problem you want help in you'd be well advised not to put it in a new thread as I would not necessarily pick it up so quickly as a conversation to which I already subscribe . Just a thought.

Advocatus Diabolicus can see this is gonna be fun

Hi Hath, ..U claim to uphold some sort of justifiable existence, alright, but does`nt that include sleep at regular intervals?, you are still hangin out(or in?) ...Me just poppin´by, en route to some serious shut-eye.. Got some work of hand, after that nap, and had my brother for dinner(we´ve always practised caniballism in Denmark, as an alternative to parental contraception,,probably why u´r family crossed over.?) ..-Funny cowinkydink with u´r ancestral origin, and as a matter of fact, i happen to be a seaman myself(not a fisherman,though..) ..One question,-obviously no rush-, but.. i´m not quite certain what possible error i may have/almost committed; a thread,i assume, is the link within a conversation? (Might as well admit that i´ve only just recently evolved into a pc-using species) ..Could´nt spot an obvious answer in the FAQ, .. may have addressed u from the online-menu,is that it? Anyhoo, time to go below. Have a good night, may Nut shelter u kindly under her starry body.. ***

Ooh good Nut quote might use that in my signature for a while... if you dont mind.

Aces sleep -- no we take 20 minute naps 4 times a day Do you have any idea how hard we work ? Actuallly in truth it is an illusion...

...With an ADSL line I often leave my PC on (sometimes for four days) and often there is a H2G2 window open somewhere, so it would appear I am online even when I am not around. Its a bad habbit I know but when you are desperate to get news from abroad you sometimes leave your PC on all sorts of silly hours..... now if you saw me posting at strange hours that be because I was getting an update from what feels like the otherside of the world but is infact a mere 3500 miles and 5 time zones away.

The point I was trying to make and clearly making a bad job of it is this..
When a visitor submits a message in your home space they "subscribe to the thread" so when someone else puts a "reply" on the original message the visitor who wrote the earlier message will know someone has replied by looking at the times/dates in thier message list. This is usually a cue to go back to see what changes have been made.
But if you start a new conversation to send a reply then the person who you are replying to will not know of its existance. Maybe its just me but I dont like walking all over peoples personal space. There is no crime there is no problem -- just fortune that I thought to look and find the message

Your job is sounding very intrigueing -- prey tell more.

Temporary tagline: ( not bright)

just became aware that u had made an addition to my "none,really"-thread?, if i get your drift right,this time? -think i´ve got the picture,tnx for sorting that one out.. Do feel absolutely free to nick the stars from the sky, if u should get into some sort of copyright-quarrel, it´ll be with them ancient Egypts.. As i recall it, the phrase is a common tomb-inscription spell, hope that u won´t find me to morbid for that reason .. As u might´ve noticed i use any quote i find suitable for the purpose ,when drawing on preconceived ideas stating the source, ofcourse, (if i´m aware of it..) Regarding my profession, i´ve been a merchant mariner ,since the age of ..eeh.. 16. Time sure does fly by.. Had my first experience with the trade at the age of 14, in a practique-programme for troublesome youths. After finishing school in an almost orderly manner ,i went on a 6 month voyage, as an apprentice, onboard the fullrigged training vessel "Georg Stage" ,then spent the next 20-some months, hilariously underpaid, onboard conventional tramp-ships, got drafted and went to Greenland with the R.D.Navy´s Greenland Commands.. Came home,tried to grow a beard, which did´nt fit, shaved and took of in local trade for a few months. Went for the 3´rd module, and as an AB with 4´th degree mate´s papers, i got into the charter bisnez, sailing 2 yrs. onboard the 2mast fore´n aft schooner "Halmø", n´then 8 months onboard the 3mast topsail-schooner "Madonna", which ended in sheer confusion with the captains inefficient, coke-abusive manner. .. Taking a quick decission, that i should be able to do better than that, i decided to educate myself to the capacity of skipper, which is my current occupation.. NOW.. How do u pass the time? .. -Have anice day ..

How do I pass my time? Well...

I work for a major UK bank as a systems tester of software that is being developed. Thats what I do to keep a roof over my head.

I am in year 3 of a 4 year degree course a B.Sc in Geography at a London university which involves going to college three nights a week and spending most of my free time studying. This is what I am doing to improve myself.

The only time I get a real break and time to enjoy myself is over the college summer holiday when I do all those things I want to. Last june I started beta testing a computer game for a US games house. I have turned down one other position to games test, but accept a third (currently on hold because of college). Its good fun as the games have all had an internet element, and my testing todate has left me with friends I talk to all over the world. I post in a number of forums (always with the same nickname), ace here for H2G2 and am an official tester for BBCi (and have to say Peta seems to have been understanding that I have been a little busy over the last month). I do spend time away from my PC, particularly enjoying the cinema and time with my oldest friends. That is what I do to nourish my soul.

I am afraid it is not an exciting life... but that has never been one of my aims

Now, talking of nicknames...... when are you going to change yours from researcher 222398? You can use the link <./>UserDetails</.>

Sounds both busy ,profitable and interresting.. U most be pretty good at u´r thing, n´that´s the main thing ,as i see it .. committing oneself to the chosen path.. About my nickname, i chose "Advocatus Diabolicus" but felt compelled to join the researcher, formerly known as Gosho, in the protest against the current policy on freedom of speech.. I´ll return to that alias in due time, but for now im just R.222398 ..Besides, i´ll be away for the next forthnight, finishing my paramedic´s A-license to heal, and i´m not quite certain whether i´ll have personal acces to the net meanwhile. If not, untill then, have a good time, ...and sorry to bother u with coughing up stuff that i could´ve read(and had read) on your site.. Peace, someday maybe.. A.D.

OK AD good luck with protest - and even more luck for the next couple of weeks. My thoughts will be with you.

You are more than welcome to leave your mark in my space - in fact I possitively encourage it. Next time if the conversation lends itself I will make sure the and are ready!

.. Thanx a load ,Hath, it´ll be most exiting,i think..- I´m honered ,but not quite certain how to leave a mark? .. U have been added to my friend´s list, ever since u popped in to light my path, ..But thats not it,i spose? A.D;pc-dimwit ..

When you leave a note on my home space you leave your mark. (Thats a Hathism* not a H2G2ism.) Don't bother to try and leave a mark - you already have** I believe you and my friend Dr Funderlink had a good chat about frogs in wells when I started spouting on the subject of Voltaire in my journal last weekend. ("I do not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it")

Hey I am on your friends list or is that or ? Now I feel honoured!

* ...and not understanding me makes you like almost everyone else in the world not a PC dimwit!
** I am not saying dont post in my space in fact the oposite. I just mean you can scratch it of your list of 10 impossible things to do before breakfast.
