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

I'm "mostly" a good boy, but I do trangress occassionally. Even if only in me mind.

"I'm "mostly" a good boy" .. traditional Dutch response to that would be "that's what they all say"

Gee, that sounds amazingly like English !!!

it does, doesn't it? I thought of writing the Dutch version, but I wasn't sure the meaning would come across

It might have proved interesting, feeding that through a google-translator ...

"The lemming has landed in the pea soup" ...

no.. doesn't make any sense Tried it. Expressions don't translate well

No, they generally lose a lot in translation ... if they are too literal.

BTW, are the hatchlings 'crafty'? I have about 72,871,402 maple leaves that they are welcome to.

"crafty" .. I'd say imaginative.. I'm not sure if they would use them the way you assume

As long as what-ever uses are on your side of the Atlantic Pond, it's all good.

yes, for the time being that's for sure no holidays now!

Well, soon the missus will be home from praying. SO my 'holiday' ends as well.

.. ah .. so then you're safe again

well, with all the prayers said for you I meant

Atleast until mid-afternoon.

I would never comment on that

I'll just believe it

A very safe way to be, Lady.

So, with the time differences, I'll guess that your working-Monday is about done? How'd it go? It's the usual mayhem and panic here.

safety first! never any doubt on that
and the official part of the working day is done.. now remains the rest; feeding the herd, driving them all to their stables, and sing the traditional lullaby

No, I'll not sing in here

Oh I think singing in here is just fine. This PC has no sound-card or speakers.

I saw the comment in the Fan Club. Besides nature that you cannot avoid, is the rest one of these evil bugs or viruses going around? We have a few that seem to last 2 weeks or so, and are just plain misery.

ah yes.. that comment no, we did miss most of the virus attacks so far. we're relatively fortunate in that; must be our virtuous lifestyle a few weeks ago there was a series of virus attacks, all to others, that lasted a few days. Nothing serious and certainly nothing for 2 weeks or so. mm.. and stay healthy!

Ah yes, virtue. I've read about that somewhere. Obviously some foreign concept.

Sadly, milady's work as receptionist in an insurance and investments firm brings her nose-to-nose with everybody that walks in. So if there is a sneeze, a sniffle or a cough to be found, she brings it home. Sharing is NOT always a good thing.

ah yes.. so there's illness in the house? and
