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

So the health officials are checking it out with the Pope? Dalai Lama?

As for Cyn She kindly sent me an E-card for my inpinging on Mankind aka my alleged Birthday.

She is improving and took time out to allow mind and body to heal physically as well as spiritually and hopes to be back on line soon.

She will also get an invite as I desperately want to meet her! She helped me so much with giving up smoking!

I have a short list of Hootooers who I would to attend, and both of you are on the list! Hopefully you could, if they can make it, travel with B'Elana and TC?

If I can help with accomodation or finance I'll do my best. Depends on locality and annual bonus!!!



MMF

Oooh, glad to hear she's on the mend. Say hi from me if you write her!

(And sorry I missed your birthday. I can't keep track. Hmmm, you don't like cake. Maybe a quiche with a candle? )

I'd love to come to whatever you're planning. But I'm not even sure which country I'll be living in by then, so no promises!

Not a problem! I have no idea which planet I live on... from one minute to the next!

But you could at least apply an haemoglobin record of the almost non-event of 2009 to a Baltica or equivalent???

MMF

o/

Huh? What's a Baltica? Sorry, slow brain tonight.

? Even confused myself on that one! I know it was something to do with blood count and middle European shields... or something, but blowed if I can remember what it was. headcold and obviously do not work well together!!!



Maybe we'll have to have a \_'@' race to see who gets an answer first, and knowing German efficiency and British laziness, I tghink I know who'll win.
MMF

I'll just chalk it up to the then

German efficiency? I'm afraid that stereotype isn't true, at least not of the health system!

Thanks!

Shame about that. I wish it were true for your sake. At least with mine I am able to get on with life, all be it with limitations... Most of which I can work around, and it doesn't affect my job, directly.

It would be nice to get a little advancement on it though...

I must be honest and say I have more concerns about others' health than mine, which is why I say little about it... It hasn't me yet!

I just hope they get to the root cause of yours soon, as it must be getting wearisome not knowing and having all these types prodding you... Unless they are in their mid-twenties and in which case drag it out as long as possible!!!



MMF

Well, they'd better hurry up before it *does* affect your job. Seems to be wreaking havoc on the rest of your life. Can you play the fiddle sitting down? My sister always has trouble with that

And all the doctors are old enough to be my mother, I'm afraid. Which is better, they have experience...

Being the youngest in the Band, we've been sitting for around 5 years. It depends very much on the seat. I do prefer a stool or equivalent... Anything as long as it doesn't have arms!

So far work has been good about it, but then apart from the G**t I haven't had time off with it, and have booked holidays where the big house has loomed...

I just won't challenge the World record of running up the Empire State Building just yet!!!

As I say, I don't think a cure will be found, but maybe a stay of execution might be nice!

And how are you this evening? Still snowing?

I'm currently working through old programmes of my annual holiday at Broadstirs Folk Festival:

e
Browsing past acts and googling them for future reference... It's keeping me out of mischief, but I won't be late for as this head cold is getting annoying...



MMF

Sorry, I never got back to you on this! My browser crashed, and I lost the open tabs...

Thanks for the link. Sounds like a great holiday! But do get yourself taken care of

Hey, Mazin, how's it going? I didn't mean to neglect you, just been busy! I have finally mailed you that Oyster card back, though.

Since you liked Kew, here's where I'd have taken you in Germany... A52732578 (Just got it into PR )

Mal, thanks for popping by. The Oyster card was not a problem. As and when! I hope you had a good time. Thanks for the link to the entry. I will view it later when I have time.
I, too, am concentrating on entries, as I have so many that are 'works in progress' although I did knock up a hasty one here, and would appreciate feedback! But I've just sen you've spotted it.

Keep the comments coming, please.

Really great to meet you, and hope to meet you again soon!



MMF

Thanks for the Oyster card. Now back on the hook for the next recipient. Liked the card too, and also hope to catch up with you in RL sometime soon.

Just completing another entry, which I may split. Not sure yet.

Other things on my mind.



MMF

Oooh, that got there fast!

What's wrong?

Mal, you asked what was wrong, and I was evasive. I apologise. I did not want to intensify a situaaion, so maybe here would explain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=6681828&show=20&skip=0#pi8 If I have interpreted the situation incorrectly, I apologise, but I am resigned to walk away, due to any upset caused. It was never meant. Signing off. MMF o/~

No, don't worry - I'd not even got wind of that incident until you mentioned it now!

If you want an accurate depiction of a plant, a photograph is usually better than a blob

Mal... I just felt completely gutted when I had suggested replacing a blob with a photo, as I have so many opportunities with Kew Gardens to photograph plants. I can't do still life!

An example of a blobbed entry, (and I do not know the artist):
A6379518

or my limited (only three photos allowed) selection:

Purely for demonstration purposes, I hasten to add, not a promotion!!!

And thanks for your reply. and

MMF

Don't worry, it's not one of mine!

Phew! What a relief! Anyway, I have posted a long explanation on: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F19585?thread=6681828 It is purely a suggestion, but may be a facility for cross-over interaction... and replace those ghastly BBC blobs... We can do better than that!!! Artists and Photographers! Unite!!! MMF o/~

I've suggested that to the Eds a few times, and they refused...
