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

Always good to welcome an Aussie onboard, as it were. Myself, I'm one of those diverse individuals you refer to...I'm on the other side of the globe in Canada!

I like to pop in on a few of the recent arrivals, such as yourself, to say 'hello', 'welcome aboard', offer you a or & some ..or *rummages in his knapsack for the sealed plastic bag*...some ? You can use any of those icons/emoticons (like the , , etc) by consulting the long list that comes up when you type smileys into the search window. And the nice thing is, you can refer back to it at any time...I keep goin' back .

If you want to use 'pattycakes' as your nickname, just click on preferences in the lefthand margin. That'll allow you to type that in, nodify it (like add 'baker & cake decorater extrordinaire' or whatever) & even change it if need be. Anyway, feel free to click on my underlined nickname at the top of this message to visit my space, when you have the time. Otherwise, make yourself at home, this's quite a nice, friendly place. Another thing, if you'd like to chat - keeping in mind a roughly 15 hour time difference - click on the 'reply' button below, alright. Bye for now *waves*
