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

Made it look like I was selling safety pins.

Ahh....I see.... And did anyone buy any from you?

Nah. In the end I got bored with them and gave them away.

I always need a safety pin when I dont have any and there are none to be found. Its so frusterating. But if I have one then I never need it. I dont know wich is better.

Having one and not needing it. At least you have it then/

Yes, I suppose that you're very right about that.
Yes...you're definately right.

Save them in a place you know where they are.

I did that. It was a great idea....but then I'd take one out when I needed it and forget to put it back...and I think that now I only have one left and its one of those big ones... so that doesnt help me much I dont think. Perhaps I should go buy some.

You can get 50 for about £2.50 in your local boots.

Local boots?

Boots is a shop we have over here. It sells shampoo. And Pharmasutical stuff.

Ahh.... Kind of like Shoppers and Pharmasave I guess...

And savers... do you have that?

Savers?

Obviously not.

Yes, I suppose so.
What is it?

I sent your birthday present today

Oooh sounds excellent...

I wish I'd remembered sooner. I was going to ask if you could send an SAE with it so I can post these photos and things. Not to worry, Ill manage.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry.
Are you sure you'll manage? If its just that you've lost my address I can send it to you again. If you need the postage paid then I think I could make it to the post office today and send you an SAE with my name and stuff on it.

Nah, neither really. It was just to save me time when I get round to sending them off. No biggy, I'll manage.

Oh good. Its past time for me to be able to go to the post office now.... And I dont have a car at the moment.
