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

You were my original ACE. I thought I'd say hello to you and ask how you were doing.

Wow! That was a nice thought

I'm fine - still ACEing and coping with this time of year.

Excessmas is not my favourite time

It's great to see that you have become such a part of hootoo

That's good. Yeah X-mas can be a little dizzying and daunting for people.

I still haven't bought anything for anybody yet.


Thanks.

I put my foot down last year and told everyone that I will only buy for the kids.

So I have just done my shopping online - movie tickets and a goat for my nephews. The goat is for charity - I think that they should have a little realism in their lives

All done

A goat? wow.

I have one brother and two parents and the with everyone else. Maybe a card for my friend who lives a few streets down the lane or so but that's it.

The boys don't get the goat (I don't seek revenge on their parents ) - the goat goes to a family in a developing country.

Oh, that makes more sense.

Goats make goatsmilk and goats cheese and such.

Feisor, did you see the new sign in changes?

Oh yes

Luckily I had no problems - how about you?

I must say that I was impressed with the way The Italics handled it all - it was great the way we were kept informed

Well, I'm glad I happened to go on here today to find out.
Alot of my friends and I don't exactly check here very often, for long stretches of time. An e-mail notification or something would have been a nice touch, or some icing on the cake. Good to see things so streamlined though.

I'm going to miss the old buttons though. I like to use h2g2 in brunel. Sort of doesn't go with the scheme to have a white and blue box in the middle of the pattern now.
I can get over that though.

Change is always a little discombobulating but we cope

This is true.

Okay.
Now I'm used to it.

See, that was easy .....

True. I still "Didn't LIKE it" but you know...
