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

Yup, there seems to be piles of us.

Are you in Hampshire too coelacanth????

there do seem to be a lot of people from Hampshire! eek!

Not "from" but "in" as of last October.
I'm not admitting more than that on line.

do you live in the south end? i live on the south coast! wwwwhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I wander between two computers at the north end of Southampton. One's in Swaythling and the other's in Portswood. I can be convinced to go elsewhere if there's a nerdy reason to. (like a h2g2 meetup)

yokay!

Are you at the Uni Peregrin? I used to and lived on Portswood road - oh, the memories (and lack of) of the Gordon Arms, Jesters and The Hobbit!

Jesters
Hobbit

I'm not at uni any more, I work as a web designer for an ickle company in Portswood. But I haven't got round to moving out of the student area yet

Ahhh yes Jesters - is that still going or have they closed it down due to a cholera outbreak - not the cleanest place in the world
My main memory of that place is that Chris Packham (from the Really Wild Show) was *always* in there and all he ever did was play on the fruit machine.

It's still going, unfortunately. I don't remember seeing Christ Packham, but then it's impossible to recognise anyone in that place.

My pet annoyance about pubs around here is that they fall into two distinct categories:

1. Student pubs, where there's about 10 zillion stone drunk students jostling around, making enough noise to split your eardrums and preventing you from getting to the bar; and

2. Local pubs, which look nice, sell nice drink and food, are nice and quiet, but when somebody of my age walks in all the locals think I'm a student and give me seriously evil looks.

I don't fancy my chances in either type

well, i have the joys of uni yet to come!

Lucky you!

i've still got, o heck, maths......
ummmmmmm yr 11 then 2 years in 6th form then uni!
