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

Everybody has the capacity to be mean.........just takes a lot more provocation for some than others Am usually very even tempered but if someone pushes the wrong button often enough then...............watch out and

No need to apologise for delay.......sometimes hard to post here too cos of calls coming in We are both supposed to be working after all

BTW.........who told you abuot my black leather catsuit?

thought the catsuit was compulsory equipment for the corpoeal punishment degree!

i admire your (anyone's for that matter) ability to deal with awkward people

perhaps it's due to the fact that I can be a little obscure but i get aggro when people wont acknowledge i may have something worthwhile to contribute

whew, deep!

well yes it is but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not everyone knows that

I've always done public related jobs so am well used to dealing with the idiot public.........trained as a nurse in London when I finished school, then worked in offices for a couple of years before becoming a croupier and working in casinos, both in London and africa You can imagine the abuse you get when someone is losing heavily in a blackjack or roulette game Fortunately, there was always someone there to deal with or eject as the case required

You? obscure? nooooooooooooooo never

ive been in the customer service industry for most of my life - telephone tech and then computer tech...here and UK and Canada...i have no difficulty supporting people resolving problems...probably has made me very goal oriented

this job as an engineer is more collabrative and i would rather do the whole job myself than feel others arent pulling their weight (as i see it) or missing the point of the exercise and over- or under-producing

then again i have been considering therapy...know a nice sanatorium?

As it happens I do

There's one just about 10 mins up the road from me and right next door there's a 5 star hotel with a health complex and a golf course too

Could be quite relaxing don't you think and, of course, being so close, I could visit with the bunch of grapes and some TLC

gracious as always

strait-jacket....hmmm....hadnt considered the possibilities of a strait-jacket

wonder if they have them to match patent black leather

the grapes also have potential!

How about a padded cell as well?

I wouldn't swear to it but I think strait jackets come in a rather fetching shade of off-white, so no colour co-ordination there

Grapes have potential? Daren't ask for what? Ammunition perhaps?............OUCH!!! that hurt

baby made a boo-boo, kiss it better

padded cell...half full of jelly?

grapes and belly-buttons?

there's more than one way to regain one's sanity

Was considering, at some stage, a trip down under to see how the other half lives but..................it seems to be one big sanitorium already

Are all Aussies as nutty as you?

By the way, you won't regain your sanity by talking to me

Wonders what exactly you're kissing better?

Please join us in the looney asylum called Australia, the more the merrier

actually you will probably find i am a bit unusual...most aussies are more sarcastic than silly

and i may not be saner talking to you but i will settle for happy..or is that manic

i am not sure, where did you hurt yourself?

oooooooooh I should fit in nicely then I have a fair chunk of sarcastic and silly

Don't worry.........had already sussed out that you were a wee bit of a non-conformist

I think you should definitely settle for manic

Am not telling you where I hurt myself........I'd be ing from my head to my toes!!!

Right, manic it is...Helen said so!

so how do we make the boo-boo better?

We take a nice long hot soaky bathand then a deep soothing massage would work wonders I think

I will assume the "we" is the royal pronoun, tsarina.

but of course

You couldn't possibly have thought..........no!..................oh dear

you're teasing

Moi? tease?

Nooooooooooooooooooo never

Wouldn't dream of doing such a dreadful thing

just desserts for the male of the species, i suppose

awwwwwwwwwwwww I've gone and done it again.........made you

over with a and and a big

wonders if they might not be a few crocodile tears tho cos he likes the s
