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

As we have spent many happy hours swapping words, locations and favourite things I thought I would say Hi.

I read your PS and hope you soon find a job - I always thought truckers were pretty cool and the travelling must be really interesting.

Will drop by again....

Thanks,CD (do you have a name?)
I do have ajob now with the agency,and yesterday the man I worked for 2 years
ago phoned and offered me a job starting September when new truck arrives,
between Norway,holland/Belgium and UK,so allis good,especially now I've
got a message from you!
Tell me about yourself ,if you don't mind,where do you live,what work you do
etc
Regards,Don

Hi Don

My name is Sue - I live in Yorkshire as you might have guessed. I am a nurse and have been for 27 years (which may demonstrate a lack of ambition depending on how you look at it). I like literature and music but would not claim to be particularly well informed about either. I also like going to the Gym and this year I am going to do the Great North Run for the first time. However I am not a health fanatic and I would rather eat crisps and drink a nice white wine whilst sat on a comfy sofa but if I don't exercise I pile weight on so a little effort does have its benefits.
I have a husband and two children who aren't really children (18 and 20)- one is alredy at University and the other starts in Sept this year.
enough about me ...What about you?

Morning Sue,
about me? Always idle during term,but did well in exams,
finished at Sheffield Central Tech with 1st class diploma in building,
apprentice at Firth-Browns steel works,stayed till 22 then spent 3yrs
down the pit . Then got the driving bug,started on a bread round,and
later got on long distance work.Bought my own truck 30yrs ago,and went
onthe continent,been wandering ever since.Just over 2yrs ago I had a heart valve replacement(pigs!)now I have a curly tail!You think I'm joking?Well....
You shouldn't have asked!

Regards,Don

No I believe you about the curly - as it would happen I used to be a cardiac nurse - Are you married? - Children? - Where have you been in the world? - Where is your favourite place in the world? - What films do you like?
Sorry too many questions I know but I like to know....

Sue

Hi Sue, it was only a joke!If it were true it
would make the word screw literal!Lost my wife 2yrs ago
3 children,all left home .
Been all over Western Europe,Sweden to Greece-Portugal to Eastern Germany.
Favourite place? probably Southern Italy.
Films? last one was War of the Worlds-rubbish! not like the old black
and white one.
regrettably,I must get to bed now,to be up at 5.00am
Best wishes Sue,see you tomorrow night, Don

Goodnight

Don - if you read this hope you aren't too tired getting up at 5am and all. Where did you go in your lorry? What did you deliver? or did you pick up a load?

Sue

Hi Sue,you still up?

Load not so bad,1delivery at the side of Leeds/Bradford
airport to a company making turbine blades,the to Redcar
steelworks,refractory items for the blast furnace.

Not been there for about 40yrs!didn't recognise the place!

Not so tired now,got my wine,have a couple
I'll carry on for half an hour,before bed.

How have you been today?
Regards,Don

Sorry had gone to bed by the time you appeared.
Funny you delivered quite near to where I am - spooky
Redcar I have never been there - Isn't it by the sea?
It's funny really the older I get the less enamored with stuff and posessions I am - a life travelling from place to place sounds nice.
Anyway I havejust watched Dr who for the first time in years - I used to be so frightend by the Cybermen but today they looked slightly funny - i must be getting old and boring!!
How was your day?
I speant the day cleaning, It's sad I know but its the only day I have to get it done.
Anyway I might be back on later - hope to catch you then..



Sue

Evening,Sue
deliver near you? Where?
Redcar is on the coast at the mouth of R.Tees,
quite nice but 4/5 steelworks nearby,and
a racecourse!
Dr Who,haven't watched that since Tom Thingy?
Possesions,as long as have enough I'm OK.
Old and boring? you're about 40yrs younger than me!
But I know what you mean about cleaning,living alone
I just do the very basics,as long as I can see trough the windows
I'm OK . Right Sue,look for you later, Don

I work in Heaton in Bradford

Doing what?

See you tomorrow,Sue

Don

Hi Don

Did you watch the football? Yawn! Are you working tomorrow? Where are you going?
I'm at work - Hoping to have some holiday soon - I hope the weather stays like this as it's so lovely. Be able to sit out with a good book and a glass of wine.


Sue

Missed you tonite



Hope all is well

Catch you later I hope



Sue

Thanks, Sue,
got to start work at 2am till about midday,nly got half an hour on tonight.
Ta for the hugs,I'm goimg to need them tonight!
Are you on for half an hour?


Cheers,Don

I can hang about - What are you doing at 2am?
Sounds mysterious

Sue

Not mysterious at all. some have to work nights to keep the world turning!

Start with a load of bread to Daventry,back empty,and a load somewhere else.
Don

There I was thinking you might be an "International Man of Mystery" and rush about delivering boxes of Milk Tray to women(Do you remember that advert?)
Daventry - never been there. So an element of mystery....

Sue

No! just the breadman tonight1

and I never liked wearing black.
