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

Have you noticed that dates of entries on Personal Spaces have switched to American dates?

e.g.

From h2g2: A82339356 Asparagus (Mar 9, 2011) pending
From h2g2: A82254143 Priory Country Park, Bedford (Mar 7, 2011) pending
From h2g2: A81838993 Babe Among The Stars: Extraterrestrials (Feb 25, 2011)
From h2g2: A81222040 Babe Among The Stars: Aurora Report (Feb 11, 2011)
From h2g2: A80426243 Babe Among The Stars: Aurora Trip (Jan 28, 2011)

Yet the dates on the entries are the usual (Asparagus) 09 March 2011 (etc)

I wonder if this means that our prospective buyer is American?

Interesting, but I doubt it has anything to do with prospective buyers.

Just back from checking out the next training walk. Completed a 22km walk in a little over 5 hours Only 5 weeks now to the 20 peaks challenge

Are you watching *that* wedding tomorrow?

I'll be rooted to my couch. We've been to the OAP Homes today and there are lots of excited elderly ladies eagerly hanging on until tomorrowtheir communal rooms are decorated with bunting and flags and it all looks very jolly. I've seen some schoolchildren dressed up and having playground parties today on the local news - the little girls look quite sweet in their tiaras.

I take it you're not watching the rolling news? () but you are missing a treat, the BBC have SO sent the wrong man to cover the pre-wedding dinner that the Queen is hosting tonight. Tim described one of the snacks (tomorrow) as being "champagne and canopies" and when the Duke of York arrived with Princess Eugenie, Tim described them as "Prince Andrew with one of his daughters, possibly Beatrice but I don't know". Can I have a job please, BBC????

I am hoping the new Princess Catherine flouts tradition and doesn't lay her wedding bouquet on the tomb of the unknown warrior, but saves it until after the event then the two of them go and lay it on Diana's grave at Althorp

and (for now) later

Late again I am! Haven't logged in here for several days



312 unread posts in my PS, and that's just one thread

and and a virtual

Sorry we won't be there tonight, I'd have loved you to have met Gordon, you'd get on like a house on fire.

Do you know Monopoly are bringing out a Klingon special edition? They're inviting fans to vote for the pieces: http://www.usaopoly.com/klingon/ and we can vote once per day until 25th May. Heh, it's the Bat'leth and the Bird-of-Prey for me

I've been and at the meet photos. I especially like your top "Ringer 300 runs" and the gravestone Bel snapped for you

The Klingon Monopoly sounds a great idea Glad there are lots of photos from the Meet for you to see what (and who) went on. Paulh is a wonderful character in RL.

Today is the 100th anniversary of Mahler's death, so it's not going to be one of my better days.

<--- for later

Do you know tomorrow at 6pm the righteous are supposed to be being raptured? That's tough luck for fans

It's also the 100th anniversary of the death of Williamina Fleming

I noticed something on Facebook the other day, it was a BBC/Doctor Who link uploaded by the Facebook Doctor Who page, and it began "This website has not been funded by BBC licence fee money"

Good morning Maestro, I hope you're suitably attired if you're going anywhere todaywe're off to a carboot sale at 9am plus I have to do a flying visit to my daughter's home to see to their (they are on holiday in Scarborough)

I daren't go read the Traffic Warden entry in PR (my father used to be one for a few years) is it really bad?

Have you read the 42 yet? I was wondering which, if any, entries are mine, or contributed to.

Well it's not raining here yet, but we're due to get ours anytime now - and it is getting cloudier as I write.

I haven't read the Traffic Warden entry yet. I seem to get little time at the moment and am struggling to keep up, but at least the torrent of posts about the 'disposal' has dried to a relative trickle.

GB, I didn't realise you didn't know which Entries were selected for the '42'. Your 'The Great Flood of 1953' is entry #40, and you have sub-ed credits for: 'Heaven - The Christian's Blessed Hope', my 'Das Lied vd Erde', 'The Full Moons. What's in a Name?' and 'Volk's Electric Railway and Daddy Long-Legs'

Have a good day

Woh there!

*rewinds*

Just realised why I thought I hadn't read that Traffic Wardens entry - it had nothing to do with traffic wardens. A 'posted-in-the-wrong-place' instance.

thank you

It's still raining here, the kind of rain that soaks you through all your clothes so even your underwear is wet

Oh well, I have writing to dowhy no today?

'morning. The sun's back again today albeit a shade chillier than yesterday.

Hopefully I'll see the plumber later on. One of the taps on my bath broke last week, and of course it's too old to get replacement innerds so I'm having to have new taps fitted to the bath and washbasin. More demands on the bank...

I've just booked a gardener to landscape my gardens front and back, and now waiting for the quote, I'm sure it's going to take up all my rainy day money

I'm going to do a picture project before/after and as you're not on Facebook I'll create the same kind of album that I did for my new bathroom, which you can access

There are some lovely pics of my 2 grandsons in Sheffield, on my profile.

I am still Spring cleaning, and being ruthless in the decluttering, there'll be so much less to clean next time

Still no sign of this week's my BATS will be out of date if it doesn't appear until next Monday

It's too hot for housework and I'm looking forward to a filled afternoon



Ivan says it's -5 in Aussieland - we've been promised 30C today, I hope they don't wilt at Wimbledon

...and a total contrast to Friday night when I was out all night with the Explorer Scouts who were doing a night incident hike, intended to finish at the top of Ivinghoe Beacon in time to see the sun rise ...

...'cept of course it rose behind thick rain clouds

Enjoy the

Sod's Law, like astronomers and meteor showers

Good news, I'm FP author x2 with my last two articles (my photo too) and also my BATS for July in The Post - so it's not late this time, it's early

and
