Thats alright so how are you today? what brought you to this great site?

I myself found h2g2 through a radio station's forum I really enjoyed using that forum but I found I could not log in one day and decided to check out this place. I was daunted by h2g2 at first but things slowly came together and I am now in the position of calling myself an ACE

I'm doing fine today, thank you. How are you?

I was brought here by a friend who used to be a participating member but had a sort of falling out and never really got back around to contributing. He noticed that I loved the books and figured I'd enjoy myself here. Thus far he's been right.

I'm glad you like it hear. It is a shame about your friend. I've not actually read the books but I would love to At present I have a battle of the bands competition going on in the bar near me and it is loud and the music is quite good I guess I wont sleep too good tonight due to uni coming to a close oh well ....

do you think you will create a few articles for h2g2? also what music do you like? I'm very into Rock/pop i.e. Bon Jovi

I plan on writing a few articles if I can figure anything out to write about. I had begun one earlier today but my browser crashed and I lost it all. Oh well, I suppose I'll try again later.

As far as music goes I tend to listen to older rock and pop. I love the Beatles and I'll listen to just about anything else that's older than I am.

--Tim

music taste so does that mean you are into Elvis!!

Take as long as you wish over your articles so that you are pleased with them and then submit them do you know the writing guidelines etc??

Well, I'm not a huge fan of Elvis Presley, but Elvis Costello is one of my heroes.

I took a look at the writing guidelines just a little while ago, and I've been hanging around the peer review area seeing what is said about other article an such so that I can see firsthand what's acceptable and what isn't.

Good idea

so what you up to this weekend? anything special I am going to be one of the contestants in the Big Sis house during the week commencing the 1st of June I am also going to dress up as a gangster for my friends birthday but I'm not sure what they look like lol

speak soon opt

I don't really have any plans for the weekend...I might try to catch up with some old friends I'd lost touch with when I went to college. Other than that I think I'll just marathon sleep.

A gangster costume, huh? All I can suggest is a suit and a fedora. But I just happen to like fedoras.

what are fedoras?

...and do you fancy doing my essay????

A fedora is a wide brimmed hat that was popular in the 1920's and 30's. They're usually grey or black, but I'm sure other colors are available.

What kind of essay are we talking about here?

its an english one
