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

hi menza. i'm told you're the resident barman where i've been propping up the bar for the last couple of days, so i thought i should come over and introduce myself.

on the other hand, an introduction is always better carried out by someone else.

i'm also told that it's nearly your birthday, so may i wish you many happy returns - almost.

It is actually my Birthday tomorrow, thanks for leaving a message.

I've only just found the Cheers forum in the F&F, that place is getting so large now that I'm starting to get lost.

well, it was in the busiest forums list when i arrived! i guess sometimes people just want to go where everybody knows their name...blah blah... {sorry}

So you are one of the few people who have actually been to the F&F home page. I thought there were only a handful of us, and thats why I don't bother to update it too often. That and the fact that I'd rather be pouring the drinks.

i used to be a big fan of 'Cheers' many moons ago, and have been unable to get that theme tune out of my mind now for the last couple of days, thanks to your 'interesting' version! still, a problem shared is a problem doubled.

{wait a minute, that's not right}

Well its more accurate than the usual saying.

And I claim no responsibility for the theme tune, I got it from the official Cheers fan club site.

surely not? they don't make em like they used to. not that i've ever been a member of any fan club, but i'd have expected the 'real' thing from them.

countdown time then. five four three two one...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

i'm told it's impertinent to ask, but why should i let that stop me?

23

And there was a proper file of the actual Cheers theme there but it was 500K in size. The version that I have is only 4K in size and only takes about 1 second to load.

23 good reasons to celebrate then! i was told that if you have an extra drink on each birthday, getting older no longer seems a problem!!

I have a mate who takes that a little too literally, he usually drinks his age in pints on his birthday.

i bet he doesn't worry about being a year older afterwards!

He usually wakes up with a smile on his face, but that might be cos he has an uncanny ability to pull no matter how drunk he gets.

i expect his 'victim' is equally drunk!

Very probably, it would explain many things.

the question really is how successful is he when he's still sober? {or maybe that isn't the question, maybe it's the point}

i certainly can't vouch for myself when i've had a drink or two!

He's sober, when?

I have no idea what I'm like when drunk, I'm drunk!

i tend to find out when i'm sober what i was like when i was drunk

i then wish i hadn't!

Unfortunately, I have too many people willing to tell me what I was like when drunk. Hi, I'm Alicat. I'm pretty sure I've talked to both of you before.

I think you probably have although not directly.
