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

You mean I have to put some effot in? Probably not worth it then

YOu seem rather happy

I've just bought a new little toy. Digital camcorder from Aldi. I can see my boss and I not doing any work today because we'll be "testing" it



You don't necessarily have to put some effort in. You could always just play hard to get while someone else does all the hard work.

"Testing" of course. So he's filming you dancing around playing the kazoo?

No effort, ey? Looks like I'll be sitting around being a couch potato for a while then

Well that was the intention, until I had to start headless chickening over to Oldham to fix thier computers before the mayor arrived at the branch to open it.

Is there room for another on the couch? Might need a nice cup of tea and a sit down in a bit

I keep imagining you as Jack Bauer now "You've got 5 minutes to get down town and save the future of this country!"
Cut to you nicking somones motorbike, swerving through traffic and doing high speed stunts

Meanwhile in Sheffield, Fb sits counting some figures and watching a bus crash outside

Plenty of room here Have a and some digestives with me

Coo ta very much

Hmm wonder if the bus has got anything to do with one of Oldham branch's computers blue screening? No doubt it is through some surreal plot twist.

The Oldham place isn't some kind of traffic control centre is it? Might be an Italian Job kind of thing where the aim is to get me sacked for staring out the window

No it's just a branch of Victim Support run by numpties.

Phew! No need for me to screech across town in a mini to the job centre

"numpties"

I love that word

I got called Numbskull t'other day Not heard that one in years

Neither have I. Hope you made the person who called you that suffer

I was laughing so much when he called it me that I could only give

But I got him back later by tampering with his personal planner on Sky. Ahh the thought of him trying to figure out what was happening when the God Channel, Discovery Wings and Tweenies kept coming on telly

Remind me to always stay on your good side

I've been doing a lot of thinking, trying to get this just right. Not sure I've managed but I'll say it anyway.

Even though my visit got scuppered at the last minute, I was really looking forward to seeing you. Is there any chance your poota might get poorly again?

I thought you'd been a bit quiet online today.

I was looking forward to meeting you the other week too I think it might be a little under the weather already

Think we'd better take this conversation away from lurking eyes.

How's the computer behaving?

Running poyfectly Better than it's ever been

Excellent!
