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

Hey Vic,

I forgot I opened a page on here ages ago under my original name. Couldn't get me head round it at first so I didn't bother. I've checked the house rules on here and it's OK to pass on personal details and such.

My email addy is [email protected] You can pass that on to whoever you see fit.

Meeting up would be agreat idea.

See you later.

Bobby

Hey that was quick

It was a tonight guys really enjoyed it.

Mine is [email protected]

It would be good if you could come to the allotment Terry's asked Aitch and I again and we had a great time when we went last year with PP. Or any other meet you want to arrange.

Look forward to hearing from you, if you want to get in touch

BDG,

Like you, I was posting an answer then running downstairs to scoop a slice of lasagne out of the dish, pour a beer and run back up again. I nearly fell up the stairs twice and I've got tomato sauce all over the screen.

The allotment visit is a brilliant idea.

Bobby I kept getting me timing wrong. Poor Sizz she was being so honest good on Annetta though for cottoning on, bless her.

You will have to listen to Jezza now even if it is only once a month when Terry is on

I tell you more about what we got up to last time we went to the Allotment when I email, which will probably be tomorrow now

Emailed you both a while back, then spent the rest of the time trying to get back on here. Is it me or is this thing a bit difficult.

If you didn't get my email, leave a message here and I'll try again.

Bryn / Vic.

Got it mate. Just replied a minute ago. I'm not sure how this thingy works either. Not very easy to keep track of.

Hi there,

Thanks for finding me on the Music Club!
Still smarting from the drubbing I got last night in the quiz.
What is this H2 thing anyway?

Sizz

It's a bit like a private club version of the message board Sizz.

You can't come in, unless you know the signs.

Letting people know you email addresses is allowed.

.......Truth be known, I'm not to sure me self....

Vic.

Hi Sizz

It's where the DNA (Douglas N Adams) all started and it stands for Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galazy. People write articles and submit them to the Guide for Peer Review, there are loads of forums and you have your own personal space. No 3 minute rule and it's 24 hour.

Check out which gives you an update on what's going on in h2g2 (Hootoo to the locals)

They also have volunteers that help run the site. You can do a lot more from here with your messages and stuff as well.

Plus there are a lot more and there's

Hi BDG

Ta, I never say no to cake and chocolate.

As far as this place goes, am I allowed to throw a tantrum and stomp off, like I did from your site?

Sizz

Of course Sizz it was my fault I just through a wobbler not making any excuses but I do have a lot to content with sometimes. People say oh how can you post when you have these things to deal with but I just find it an outlet from real life but sometimes the two merge.

Just got back from the hospital (daughter is in again) and again people might say well why are you here? - well I feel awake hubby is asleep and I just like to chat and escape from it all. I've made a lot of friends on the internet who have become good friends in real life like Aitch. But sometimes I fly off the handle. Most of the time I don't react to the throw away one liners but I do think sometimes a lot of the posters can be very inconsiderate of other people's feelings. It's all very complex isn't it really?

Glad you are talking to me again cos I felt you avoided me on the N&CA not that I blame you for that

Anyway so much for and I think I'm going to have a

I think you will like it here I can see you contributing to the guide, me I'm too lazy academically to bother but maybe one day.

BDG XX

Hi again BDG!

You're right, and I don't believe in pretending - I was avoiding you!
Don't know why, really, I'm not the sort of person that normally holds a grudge; usually it's an explosion then everything's fine again.

Know what you mean about finding balance - Mr Agent has spent time in and out of hospital and sometimes, despite an incredibly guilty conscience, I've come home after visiting and got things out my system by spending a couple of hours typing commie crap on the MB - it's too ridiculous for words! (In every way)

Blimey, more ways to waste time now. It's probably silly, but I am usually a bit dubious of forums -I like the the R2 boards because they are suitably anonymous. Without going into the details I've got a (probably irrational) fear that a certain someone can lurk and essentially follow me around. Daft, but there you go. Let's see how this goes.

Anyway, it's gone midnight - still wide awake but up at 5.30

Night all xx
Sizz

Well folks, looks like we are going to get used to how this board works, due to the imminant closure of naca.

Vic.

PS, we will have to work hard at trying to explain to the right wing numpties how to get on here. Tell your friends.

Furstly Sizz no problem as far as I'm concerned events have over taken us I think we are fighting for the survival of our community here

Victor/Bobby/Myth whoever reads this we can create our own community here but it's needs to be done in an organised way to avoid confusion for people passing over.

The way I see it is the BBC have only themselves to blame by not consulting and announcning a fate a comopli (spelling up the spout but who cares?!) One of the hosts I know well on here passed some of the Points Askew board closures back to the R2 Coffee Bar when it closed now it is going to rebound and everyone will end up in DNA h2g2.

I don't know how much you know about the history of it all but basically they couldn't sustain the old boards system from a technical point of view so they opted for taking onboard the sytem we are now in DNA which eminates from here. Clearly budget cut backs on hosting the boards etc., moderation etc have played a part and now they are starting to close boards but at the end of the day it will make no difference if the same number of users are on line.

Ironic really that we came here a couple of days ago must be pre-ordained because now we are stuck with it and there is no option really it's not that complicated. We can make a go of it and in a way it's kind of a rebuff on the BBC. But what you have to remember is that DNA and h2g2 started outside of the BBC and now they are inside it WE must repsect that and it is a self run forum with volunteers helping to run the site.

I have long since moaned to the R2 Shows & Music board that they should put there collective knowledge into submitting an article to h2g2 there isn't one at present a sad reflection on R2 and it's message boarders IMO. At the end of the day h2g2 is a permnanent record of life as we know it now that will be passed on to future generations.

The only person I have on my friends list who has contributed to the guide is Pamela please click on my friends list to see what she has done all from a set top box on her TV. Remarkable puts the rest of us to shame

Hi BDG,

I got in a bit of a mess with all this (I'm not good at reading instructions) earlier on but now have my personal space up and running too.

I agree we can create a really nice community on here and have some interesting discussions and contributions. There are a lot of people with a lot of knowledge about all kinds of things.



Sizz

Hi VL, Hi Bobby -

Maybe you have seen that ERic has joined us here.
He wants you to email him.

I sent the old gezzer a message on my return from Tesco's Sizz.

I know he's a biggotted racist, but he's a nice bloke dispite that, and he has to be part of this.

Glad to see you're getting to grips with it.

Have to go to bed now.

Vic

Where's ERIC can't find the bugger!!!!!!!!!! We are all over the place here!!! Up a level overnight Not being bossy but PLEASE re-group here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F6105984?thread=3725666 I've created it quickly will motify as and when. We have Guru's and ACE's from h2g2 helping trust me I've been on the site on and off for a long time. Don't just jump into the main forums because we will loose everyone and it won't go down well. People can start any new conversation they like on the forum link above I will have no control over it that's it whatever they want to talk about the same as it was on R2 just stay within our own forum unless you want to talk outside of the forum of course! It's normal here for there to be forums within forums but if we want to keep peeps together we have to focus where they start from? Becky XX

This is a better a link!
