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

Well they knew nothing could replace Benedict so they thought laterally and I am now the very proud owner of a beautiful African Pouched Mouse. He is very exotic, very large, very gentle and a bit of an all round babe.

Still miss Little Bear but at least there is something else that needs my love and attention.

Well then, lets have a new naming party for the new mouse. Thats unless you have named him or her already.

no but I am trying to find something African or preferably Zulu as some of his ancestors came from Southern Africa. he was born in Sevenoaks!

Or ThreeOaks as is its rightful name now.

oh hilarious - that storm was in 1987 you know.

Have you thought of a career in comedy Menz@@@e - cos if you can spin that joke out for 12 years you might as well make a career out of it too

I was trying to keep the convosation going as I am no help with African names. I don't know you can't please some people.

*raises hat* Evening all! Sorry, the only Zulu name I can think of is Michael Caine...

Incidentally did you get the rather long email I sent you yesterday - the computer crashed just after I sent it so I wasn't sure.

puts on her best Michael Caine voice and yells "Don't you wave that bloody spear at me!"

Oh you lot are hopeless

You know I don't think he actually says that line in the film.

Of course I may be wrong, I usually am.

"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Oh, wrong film.

*puts head in hands and weeps softly* - so did you recieve that email or not Men-whateveryouarecallingyourselftoday?

But a good film.

Got it! Zulu -> Michael Caine -> Madness. Ever thought of calling your mouse Suggs, Ms L?

I am going to have to punch you in a minute EV :-I

I am going to try and visit Rorke's Drift after Christmas

That is the single most criptic link I have ever seen. I'm proud of ya.

I give up.

*sits down and starts reading the latest edition of New Woman*

*Draws in deep breath*

*The illusion shatters*

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Problem, M******e?

Ms L, may I respectfully suggest that you call your mouse "Shaka", after the warrior king of the Zulu?

Good thought but I had rejected that on the grounds it was a little obvious

But nice thought EV
