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

Both boys are at home and shouting at their friends over the internet.

I've just remembered another interesting snippet about Saturday - the guy in the English Shop sounded just like David Tennant - and looked spookily like him, too. Well, I didn't hear him speak much, just joined in as Sho was commenting on this to him. But I'll take her word for it.

I heard Sho say so, but then I have never seen nor heard David Tennant, so I wouldn't know.


I have one picture up now:

it took me a while to work out who he sounded like, but we were trying to tell Gruesome #1 about what Irn Bru was made of. I realised that he had a Scottish accent, but one of those gentle ones, and for IrnBru you need something like my brother-in-law's accent. he's from Paisley and I hardly understand a word he says!

I'm uploading the photos (none of the kids though) to my Fotki jobbie. if it works I'll put a link here.

ok, I'm hoping that nobody objects to being World Famous (TM)

if you want to be removed, pls just shout

Sho, if you have some more photos, with the girls on (especially the one just outside the place were we had lunch) - would you pls send them to me ?

My daughter is as keen on the photos as I am

I'm not surprised my PC froze during the first attempt of loading the site.

I've just looked at all your e-mails with the photos. Thanks everyone, for sending them. Matodemi - yours are really clear and sharp. I'm having trouble opening three of B'Elana's.

Matodemi - I meant to say before what a gorgeous girl your daughter is.

The fotki link worked for me straight off. I like Sho's pictures because we're all smiling (probably because Gruesome No 2 took them?). Especially the last one with the smiley beer mat, of course!

Hmm, no idea why you can't open them. But then I had trouble uploading them.

Look what I just found! A8232202

The report of that one is her: A11449028

Ah yes, I remember it well!

It shows that we don't need many people to have fun.

I'll mail the photos tonight, Matodemi (and to anyone else who wants them)

They are from my camera, I haven't managed to prize Gruesome#2's camera out of her hot-sweaty hands yet, but I will. She took one of all of us, without any kids, which should be good.

Looking forward to seeing them - although...
Sho, I just got an email that one of the very few posts in that Mad MC thread was removed. After all this time, can you believe it? I wonder whether it's worth the pain replying to it.

hi bel, nice hearing from ya, obviously you had a great weekend. see, am working at home, small wonder...thought i o u at least a short message. haven`t been online for ages, i hardly remembered my password. finally received a letter from the ministry of education, but i don't know what school they'll be sending me to, yet. we'll see. i won't have to work tomorrow and my hubby's gonna be at berlin and hamburg, so i might well manage to have a look at the postings. bye for now, lots of love,johnrebus

Idid wonder how long it would take you to get online after D installed the network with the help of A yesterday.
Great to see you.
Good news about the school. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you'll get one close to home.

hi, kiddo, took me some time to find you, only got home from school about an hour ago, d smashed one monitor this morning, just before i had to leave - well, the thing imploded - so, being online is still an adventure, the router i.g. had to be refigurated today etc., but it works right now...wait an see

I replied in our thread now.

Before I finally write the report for the Post:

besides what Bel and I have written in our journals
and the fact that the Marseillaise was sung, the Bierbörse had an enormous lot of types of beer, girls on their last night of freedom, Sho being chatted up - is there anything that you can think off? (or something I have overread in the threads?)
