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

More good stuff, ta!



Picked up the other clip to ... also liked the

'There is always something to be done

Even if it is sitting still and willing for it to happen'

which seems to be attributed to Shaw ...

Not again, wouldya luk ad dat ... just google the text string!

Er that's not Bash's lot is it?

G'night!

Snork ... no, I was only referring to the length of the link as it went on and on and on and cont p94 (or have I missed something?)

G'nite!

I thought you meant google the quote from the first bit of the ink in the well video. It takes you to a myspace of a band that seemed quite like one that bash said she was taking some visitors to see a few months ago now. It probably isn't.

Ah ... no ... I was only trying to find a source for the early quote in the video, so I ignored YouTube links and headed for a link containing the text string - sorry about that. Went to bed imagining the valkyrie descending en masse into somewhere I couldn't quite see

Ta.

Ta ... I bet you snuck that in with just seconds to spare

It was close....

Just ahead of my yardarm time, so there's no dispute ...

Damn, having trouble with this cork (any excuse in a first past the post race, hehe) ... no, s'ok, got it ... right, position glasses, polish finger mark off >>>that one ... yep, all set.

Standby ... commence pour ... 'after the news in 15 minutes' so still on target ... pooter shows 17:58 ... 'Lynda's showing paparazzi at St Stephens' ...

Meticulous....

Spot the undeliberate error! Forgot you hiho on a Sunday evening, doh.

S'ok, it's at room temperature anyway.

Actually I was painting the ceiling.

Gosh! Knowing that you are not a fan of diy, I'd say you must have been ... er ... provoked.

BtB is my source of assistance on ceilings and the painting thereof, as he's better at neck-cricking stuff than I am. He was involved with the famous propping up the ceiling incident. So unsuccessful were his attempts at re-glueing that we made a tactical retreat and counter-attacked by taking down all the ceiling paper

Ah, the nuclear option. Once you start stripping that ceiling paper, there is no return.



Yeah, I was provoked. And I fell for it.

We had no choice really ... he put a little paste into the crack between two sheets of loose paper and we wedged it in place in a Heath Robinson sort of way.

Three days later, far more of the paper was descending than had been loose for years. Our offensive showed that the glues had all held but the original paint had let go ... we never let on to the ceiling that we had no real choice, natch.

Now the ceiling has 'character' befitting a late 19th century cottage

I'm hoping to get away with one coat....

Good luck!!!

Providing it hasn't been too long since the last coat, the surface was cleaned before it was painted, you haven't changed the colour and used good quality paint ... you should get away with it.

Fingers crossed...
