Hi Pegasus!!!!!!
Zaphod here! Hows the gardening coming?!
Just trying 2 find my way round at the mo - 1 of my heads managed 2 find ur site so i thought i would drop in and say Hi - looks really cool, btw!
I hear there is an XF chat 2moro - hope 2 c u there!
Going 2 go explore some more now,

Luv Z

Waahay! You got here!

I saw you'd signed up yesterday, but you didn't put anything on your space, so I couldn't come over and welcome you proper!

If you want any tips, just yell. If you add a title or some text to your space (click on 'edit page' or whatever it is now), then other peeps will be able to come and say hi too! By the way, if you click on 'preferences' you can change the style of page from that horrid white, green and orange 'Alabaster', to 'Classic Goo', which is much cooler!

Everyone's really friendly. You'll love it here!!! And I'm gonna go and add your name to the X Philes page right away!

Hiya! Still trying 2 find my way around I get lost easily! Went 2 c evolution on Saturday and ate too much ! Love these smileys! Dont c any 3-i-ones tho. Have u seen evolution yet? If u want a review of it they're all over the xf forum. Jenny's seen it and she wont stop talking about it! Go and c it if u need a laugh, its v.funny!

My brain is currently full of x-file waffle about DNA which is a bit of a problem since i have a tonne of work i am supposed to b doing! I cant believe they r making us work after our xams! And they seem 2 think i should know what Uni i what 2 go 2. Any ideas? coz i need help!

Going 2 eat lots of and think about alien DNA...er..maths i mean! C ya!

PS why is there no pizza smileys?????? (i have i slight pizza addiction at the mo) i will just have 2 eat instead!

Hi again Z. Whaddya think of h2g2 so far?

I think smileys might be on the 'to add' list... hopefully we'll be getting even more new smileys in the near future. We'll have to put in a request for 08 -) too!

I haven't seen Evolution yet, and I must admit that the reviews were starting to put me off, but Jenny's review speaks volumes... so I'll have to go and see it now!

Are you going to uni this year? What do you plan to study? I recommend a BA in X Files! If Mark Lamar can do a degree in pop, then why not?!

Have any of the other guys signed up to h2g2 yet? You'll have to bring them over. It's much cosier, and we get to enjoy and even get a friendly from the h2g2 staff when we need it.

I'm working on an X Files Society here, and it would be great to get some real Philes in! We can have a party!

Is Becki Krycek a regular contributor to the board? Who does she post as? Any idea?

Don't stay away too long, cause these researchers will eat all the if you don't watch 'em.

Hello again.

Hi! Very nice here! h2g2 is so kewl!! theres so many things to explore! I will get around 2 writing something on my space soon but they keep giving us course work at the mo so im a little busy! only 2 more days tho - then im free!! But not that free coz i need to get a job!

There r some new smileys, but absolutely no x-files Any1 4 a game of ?! I take it Wimbledon has found its way to h2g2! Oooh, ive found something better than pizza.....!!!!!Mmmmm!!

Going 2 uni next year hopefully to study astrophysics, if i eva decide which 1 want 2 go 2 that is! So far i have narrowed my list down 2 about 15! Well i did start with 30 so its not 2 bad! I looked 4 x-files but they dont seem to have a course newhere! Strange!

I am currently trying to persuade Jenny Mulder 2 come and visit at the mo, so if u could put a *calling all x-philes* post or something like that she might say hello! Or has she visited already? Becki Krycek is a friend of JM i think but i dont think she is usually on the forum. I like the sound of an x-files society!

Ah well, i better go and do some of that evil course work i suppose!
Save some 4 me!

luv Z xx

Hi Zaphod.

Just logged on and there you were! I hope Jen comes and joins us... I haven't seen her here yet, but you lot change your names faster than I can change my mind.

Astrophysics... that sounds good. You'll have lots to write about here then! By the way, if you put something on your space (even just 'hi' or giving it a title), other researchers will be able to come and greet you. Maybe you should just put 'X-Phile'!!

I think the new smileys are just to give us something to enjoy during Wimbledon but I reckon there'll be more soon.

Just a few more days slog, then it'll all be over, and we can crack open the ! Good luck, have fun.

~A~

Hiya! Got a bit distacted with x-flies talk! I see u put up an X-philes post here message, but no replies yet! Is it that confusing?! Explained it all in lovely detail 2 Jen so maybe she'll pop in soon!

The names thing is a bit confusing, it got worse 2nite tho, theres a Liz, a Lizzie Bee, a Bee, Bee's sis, Bee's hamster Peanut (not actually posting on the forum!),Peanut... and so it goes on! I like ur name btw!

Will write 'X-phile' on my space 2moro coz then im free!! ! Must go and do this course work,

C ya

I dropped by MB earlier, cause I was so excited about my 'delivery' today.

AB said she had a look at h2g2, but thought it was 'just another message board'! You'll put them all right on that score, won't you.

Last day tomorrow... woohoo!! *gets plenty of lined up ready*

Put something on your 'space', and I can bring a few people over to celebrate! PAAAAAAARTY!!!

Drinks are on me... *no, not literally Phil... put that glass down RIGHT NOW!*

~A~

Hi! Finally got round to putting something on my space! altho theres not much yet - the phone was in use 4 ages and i am trying to work out this guideml thing.

S6 boxset?! Ur very lucky, i dont have ne boxsets. Altho i suppose me getting a s6 boxset could be rather pointless bcoz i have the whole thing taped off the TV! Might be worth it at £28 tho! Love s6! Theres some really good eps in there - Monday, Field Trip, Biogenesis, Triangle.... whats ur favourite?

As i think i mentioned somewhere else - End of college!!! Woohoo!!
Help yourself to and anything else u can find! Still dont see any x-philes around here altho Liz Long said she came 2 look around. Jenny keeps promising 2 come but i havent seen her yet either! Ah well, they'll work it out one day! Just another mb?!?!?! Oh dear!

I'm tired from all this partying! bye

Hi Z.

I'm so chuffed. I just want to get all the others now, although S4&5 would be my first choices, what with S1 being shown now, and S7 still fresh in my mind. I think it was S4 or S5 when I first became a regular addict, and there were some really great episodes I long to see again. I've been reading loads of the books since S7 finished... Darkness Falls (never seen it - S1 I think), Bad Sign (vaguely remember seeing that one - any idea on the season?), Humbug (again, remember that, but don't know the season) and I'm now reading Shapes (never seen) which I've nearly finished, and also Ruins, which Jen kept raving about!!

I watched some of my first S6 video - The Beginning, Drive and Triangle - last night. Three really different episodes. I thought the first two were really unusual and interesting (I don't remember seeing them before), especially The Beginning, because Scully and Mulder are not getting on at all well. You can just feel the tension! The X Files are closed, and Scully is trying to just 'get on with the job', whilst Mulder is not prepared to give up without a fight!

Triangle (which I do remember) just had me rolling around laughing! It was soooo funny! The best bits had to be:
~ 1939 Scully whacking Mulder when he gave her a long lingering kiss, "just in case I don't ever get to do this again",
and
~ in the hospital scene right at the end when Mulder tells Scully "I love you", and she just rolls her eyes and looks at him as if to say 'yeah right... you're delirious' and walks out!

I think I might have to watch it again tonight cause it just cracked me up! I was supposed to get an early night, but I just couldn't stop watching... had to force myself to turn the video off at 2am!!!

If you want any help with GuideML, just shout. That's what I'm here for *brandishes Guru badge*. Here's a couple of handy things you may not have found out yet...

If you want to view the GuideML used on someone's home space you can type 'testuserpage' into the URL, thus:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testuserpage54754

(removing the U part, of U54754 in this case), or to view an entry (it must be one with an A number at the end, not something like /university), you simply type:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/testA446384

It gives you the opportunity to see how other people have done their pages. Just remember that all tags must be paired - opened and closed - such as for bold text, after which you close it with

Anything else I can do to help, just yell.

I'll be over later with some and a few researchers!

~A~

Thanx again 4 all the help with guide ml - those test pages r really useful! As i said about 'borrowing' a friends coursework a while ago it always helps to look at some1 elses work!

I started watching x-files around s5 and i have been madly trying 2 catch up on all that i missed! Love Triangle, im going 2 go watch it again in a mo i think! I read that Darkness Falls book and its very good and it is in s1, ep 19. The book Bad Sign is actually called Syzygy after the name of the alignment of the planets or something that caused all those things. It was in s3, ep 13. Humbug was in s2, ep 20, and i know nothing about it! Is it good? Shapes s1, ep 18. See, i'm full of useless information! Luv Ruins!! - my fave xf book i think!

ur next s6 ep should b Dreamland which is also v.v.funny! Mulders mirror dance! Hehe! Some more of my faves in s6 r Rain King ('that cow had my name written on it!'), HTGSC, Arcadia ('ok, poopy head!') and the Unnatural. And most of the rest of them!

Enjoy ur !

Hey Z.

Sorry I didn't get back for that last night. Power failed (storms) and took phone lines out for hours. *I reckon an alien spacecraft crashed into them!* Off to London tomorrow for the h2g2 meet. Should be great fun!

Yup... I watched Dreamland and Dreamland 2 last night... sooo funny ("I'd kiss you if you weren't so damn ugly"!) These videos are bad for my sleep pattern! LOL

I remember watching Humbug, though I didn't realise it was back in S2! And 'Syzygy'... I'm sure I watched a few eps before and after that... perhaps they repeated S3 and that's when I watched it?

Gotta set the video recorder tonight... it's gonna be real hard not staying up to watch it... I reckon I won't be able to sleep for thinking about it (again)!

So reassuring to know there are other Philes around... when 'normal' folk look at you as if you're raving!

Be seeing you.

~A~ 'Sus

Hi Pegasus(with another new name!)!
Just discovered somethng - new smileys!!! And theres an and a !!

Talking of other x-philes around, i notice theres still no reply to the x-philes post here. But i did a search and there is some1 called x-files!! Unfortunately they havent put anything on their space yet so i couldnt say hi i wonder if its ne1 we know?

Cant w8 for xf, not long 2 go now! I went out to buy myself a huge bag of 2day so it better not be cancelled!

I reached 100 posts on the xf forum! And i did a lovely quiz - which i thought was really hard but agent 1013 answered nearly every question! He knows too much its scary! I sometimes wonder if hes really CC in disguise!

Enjoy x-files!
Z xx

Hi there. I've just been over to your journal to drop off some and of course but I see you already found them!

There's some great new ones... but I hope there'll be more!

Must go and set the video... I've got Squeeze out from the library, but I didn't want to read it before watching it!

Pegasus ~going to London in a few hours!~

Hehe! - im having fun with these, they'll be all over my space 2moro!
Videos already set, if they cancel it again, i will scream (oh no not again!)

Must go, its about 2 start!
C ya Z xx

And now it's finished. Didn't say if it's on next week though.

Poor old Spooky!

I reckonn CC must be on the board somewhere... who knows...

Must grab some

'Do u think im spooky?' 'do u have any idea what liver and onions go for on the Reticula?' and finally 'is there any way i can get it(bile) off my fingers without betraying my cool exterior?' LOL!!

Dont panic!! - the x-files is on next week! The episode is Conduit apparently. And they are showing 'the feild where i died' on sky in 2 weeks! Yippee!! I always wanted to see that! And i found out what Syzygy means - the position of the moon in its orbit when at new or full phase. I always needed to know that!

How did the meet go? See any ? Ok maybe not, where was it? or ?
How do u remove bile from ur fingers without betraying ur cool exterior anyway?

c ya
luv

*sips alka-selzter and waves at Zaphod*

The meet was great fun. Hope you'll be able to come next time?! Just wish I'd eaten something before all the !!

Yeah... I loved that 'bile' quote. Guess what I bought today...? The X Files movie... £6.99 in HMV in London. They also had S1 and S6 box sets for £30! S5 was £90 still though!

Didn't see any or but I reckon I probably look pretty myself at present!

Anyhow... the meet-up was simply out of this !!!
