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

Good night, Dent! And it's Aquarius (18/02).

OK, I've read about the bomb-joker now, and can answer Zantic's question.

Three years before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, I was sitting near a man at an airport gate at Washington's National Airport waiting for a plane when a gaggle of security folk walked up to him and asked him if he had "made a statement" to the airline officials about something in his luggage. He seemed embarrassed and said he had made a joke. The security official explained that "We don't deal in jokes" and that they wanted him to come with them to answer questions and have his bags searched. They had a bomb-sniffing dog there and everything. They eventually released him and told him he could make his flight, but that there would always be a record of the incident and he probably would be subject to heightened security checks in the future. A man seated next to me muttered that he wished they wouldn't let the guy on the plane.

This was BEFORE 9-11, so I guess I'm not surprised at what happened to this young woman in today's climate, where we have to remove our belts, watches, necklaces and shoes and be thoroughly scanned before they let us to the gates.

But Britain is about the only friend we have left out there, so they should be more careful!

And yet they aren't....
Oh, le horror!
Hello everyone!

Hi lampost. seen this http://electricsheep.org/ .?

Anybody, anything to add..?

I am sure that most of you have seen something about the first cloning of a man through his wife by Dr Panos Zavos . http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3406129.stm and the likes.

I see this as one step closer to Mr PK Dicks vision of Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?

O midnight I have not received a reply to my last email, does that mean thing are getting better or not.

Mmmm, look what i just found.

Baked Cherry Cheesecake with Yogurt

OK, I will need..
for the base
175g digestive biscuits, crushed
50g ground almonds
75g unsalted butter, or low fat marg melted

for the filling
75g pack dried cherries or blueberries
2 x 15ml spoons, brandy, or fruit juice if preferred(test first)
250g cheese or full-fat soft cheese
150g of cherry or wild blueberry yogurt
50g caster sugar
3 medium eggs
icing sugar to DTC (Dust The Crust).

OK go..

Preheat the oven to 180°C or gas mark 4. Lightly grease a 20cm loose bottomed cake tin and line with baking paper or foil.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger for your touch,
Alone. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.


For the base,
mix together the biscuits, ground almonds and melted butter in a bowl. Press evenly into the base of the tin.

Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea,
To the open arms of the sea.
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me,
I'll be coming home, wait for me.


Meanwhile, for the filling, gently heat the dried fruit, alcohol or fruit juice with 3x15ml spoons water in a saucepan for 10 minutes, or until the fruit is plump and has absorbed all the liquid.

Whoa! My love, my darling,
I hunger, hunger!, for your love,
For love. Lonely time.
And time goes by, so slowly,
And time can do so much,
Are you still mine?
I need your love.
I need your love.
God speed your love to me.

Whisk together the cheese, yogurt, sugar and eggs. Stir in the dried fruit, then pour the mixture over the biscuit base in the tin.

Cook for 50–55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until set and risen.


cCooks tip
This delicious made with other yogurts. Try using the plum yogurt and substituting chopped prunes for the dried cherries or blueberries.

Allow to cool in the tin. Remove and serve lightly dusted with icing sugar. 's

Hi, Lamppost. Re *And yet they aren't....
Oh, le horror!*

You are right. I should have said the British *government* (arf arf) is the only friend we have left.

But I think to think I have lots of Hootoo friends here. It's because they know I hate Bush!

*nods*
Everyone's starting to hate bush now...
Hopefully he will be removed very soon!(Next election, mayhaps?)
Oh, A. Dent, thank you! I'm enjoying it!

Halloooo Midnight

Yep, things got a bit quiet over the weekend (you not being on and all) life and sole of the party you

Servers need a bit of a kick again today.

We hade a nice weekend on our own, seem like years since we hade time to are salves, sat and watched the tap of the TV program of us. Still cant bear it, but the kids think it’s great, I recon it’s going to be blackmail material in later life Nice Sunday dinner just the two of us, Just the two of us, we can make it if we try. Just the two of us, building castles in the sky.Just the two of us, you and I O sorry, wondered off there, well be back later, help your salf to anything in the kitchen angel.puts on his lurk-a-lot helmet and silently slides out the door leading to Hootoo's world, humm must pick up a few birthday card,

in A Dents direction
me life of the party i wish

sounds like you had a nice week end.

I spent most of it doing what i always do wash dry iron clean etc etc and when got chance sat with my son watching DvD's watched the Hulk last night not as good as i thought it would be.
Also watched Brce Almighty and Home alone 4 which was both good and very funny

Have to admit ive liked all the home alone films and the 4th i found to be the best

Kids always use that blackmail tactic.

Every month my son likes to have the WWE on pay per view £15 is a lot for a couple of hours but i payed for it all the same as a reward.
He as got another 4 rewards from school and when he does well i always reward him myself to encourage him. although i dont think he needs to be encouraged.
Hes a bright lad and knows what he wants to achieve through life although only being 12.

Well happy Lurking to you
Speak soon take care.
