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

Shame I don't live in Ireland I guess, PSD. Sky have been ok otherwise but I hope I won't need to phone them again for a long time.

Jack, if I am sending Sky the bill I might have more than just a three course.

Five courses then Mac.

And dozens of beers.

They can afford it.

True Jack, they'd probably earn that money back within a couple of seconds.

Its when you ring these places and you get put through to a call centre in Delhi and they can't understand you

Or in Skys case you get put through to a call centre in Fife and you can't understand accent - they used to get really confused as I had an Irish account and a Scottish accent

They aren't used to people moving outside the comfort zone of Scotland.

I got the Irish when I phoned.

When I rang first I just assumed I was talking to a Scot in Dublin.

Those Scots get everywhere.

But it wasn't of course. They always make you ring abroad.

Pretty sneaky eh Jack?

Very sneaky, Mac.

You'd think they were owned by an unscrupulous megalomaniac or something.

Anyway, time for me to go. Talk tomorrow.

Merely an unfortunate coincidence I am sure Jack.

Also, have a good one.

I am home too - so talk tomorrow

Morning people.

Friday at last.

I need to leave early today too.

Guten Tag

Guten Morgen

Not going to get this German thing very easily

But am looking forward to putting my fighting with other Germans about getting the towels on the loungers first

Bonjour.

Buongiorno.

Now that the Europeans are in charge I guess we can drink their beer.

Where have you booked, PSD?

I reckon you should pout your towel on the sun-lounger on your way home from the pub. It's the only way you'll get there first.

Time for tea.

I am going to Cyrpus next year for my nieces wedding

Except she is a Rangers fan

And so is her father

And her sister

And her brother

Typical example of you can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives

Luckily enough her mother - my sister - will be there

Rangers fans, eh?

Why not show up wearing a Celtic shirt?

It might cause a fight but, after all, it is a Scottish wedding.

I think there would be a fight regardless Jack.

Also, afternoon.

Oddly enough my son has a celtic shirt

And he is the only one wearing a kilt - bit ironic - the Irish lad is the one in a kilt

For once in my life I am going to stay sober - really don't fancy landing in a Cypriot jail for belting my brother in law

Afternoon Mac

Afternoon, mac.

PSD....sober...at a wedding...

Does.

Not.

Compute.
