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

wa-hey!

I realise this is a bit of a tangent...but why a dragon?

on my page?

Cos I like the illustration!

Joe fancies a dragon?
Wa-hey, indeed, Dr WM(S).

Joe can I tell them the rest? Please pretty please?

*forces his way through the XML errors to get back to this conversation*
Oh go on.

What is going on? Our mail server is down too! Grrrr!

I can't - not without his permission. But he is probably ashpyxiating in a cloud of Lynx body spray as we speak.

Joe take it from a girl who knows. The ability to look oneself in the mirror next morning is paramount! In otherwords don't get drunk and do a Sue Ellen

Everythings gone pear-shaped!

There's a question for Ask h2g2: What shape does a pear go when it goes wrong?

Well why not ask h2g2?

..because I keep getting the message "< is not a valid attribute at line 238" or similar.

fair point - I have reported all the problems with the site! But it does not seem to making a blind bit of difference!

Rule of computing companies #217: Always have 2 support staff - one very skilled and one trainee. The very skilled staffer is there to fix every concieveable problem and the trainee is there to kick while the senior staffer is out having a cigarette .

Did you notice how Ripley decided to wait until the Eds were on holiday before going wrong? I reckon its been set up by Mark - it's all part of a plan to test you in the face of adversity.

Well it all seems to be back to normal this morning so we have to put it down to Mondayitus. .

*walks in, sits down and holds his head in his hands*

Go on, tell them. It went quite well actually.

Success?

I would class it as a success. At least, I managed to hold a conversation with him without problems. That is the most I could expect really.

Its a good start. Even the longest journey begins with a single step.

No. It was a last step. He has a girlfriend now.
