Look out for the Interview with Antelia. Our despotic leader.. ummm Editor in Chief, Skankyrich, really put the thumbscrews on!

I wonder how long it takes for you to spot the article where yours truly is mentioned ... I am still debating which spirits ( or ) cupboard I am supposed to be hiding in. *hic*

Skankyrich has something about a Rhino walk, and needs your help!

There are more competitions for you enter

Among 50 articles, you really must find something that takes your fancy... Come on, let our contributors know you are reading our prestigious paper!

I need people to meet me to celebrate h2g2's birthday in April. I'll be hitch-hiking around the country dressed in a rhino suit. See A44364242, because I want to meet every Researcher in the UK - and that includes you, lil!

And she is right. I'm a despot, and it is an essential read.

Oh! Kerrumbs!


Yes, Boss..

With you on the map, a little route through the Midlands and Shrewsbury up to north Wales develops. That starts to build the idea

Last time I put myself on the map, Bagpuss had to rescue me from the Irish Sea

Let's just say we can meet you in the Chester area and sort things out from there

That doesn't work, because it relies on me remembering where everyone lives. If I can remember where everyone lives and who they are, there are too few people for it to be worth it. So I need people to stick pins in...

Seeing as I love you and want to have your babies, though, I've stuck a pin in somewhere near where I think you live. Is it about right?

Stick a pin in for me.... either Cambridge area or the most eastily point in the UK woudl work (Lowestoft) And don't forget nighthoover.... I think rock'all .... err whatever its called was deemed the right location

That's as close as I would ever manage

Thank you, darling!


Now, I really must get some sleep. Goodnight Boss

I gave you an icon with a little mohican, legsy. Then I noticed a near neighbour of your, JulesK, had used the same one

Sorry - night, lil, and thank you

Yep, she lives... well can't be that* far from here, less than 10 miles at the up most is it as cold there as it is here at the moment?
I must try read the post in the mroning.... well after I@ve been to bed too tired now to make much sense of anything much

Yes, it's sodding cold. I don't know how cold it is there, but it can't be far off. I'm drinking whisky and nitrogen here. I'm going to Spain on Friday. It's going to be almost as cold, but a lot more foreign.

damn it... you've got booze I'm almost getting to the point where I might go make myself a mug of coco

because it relies on me remembering where everyone lives.

s'easyI'm at our house

You dafty, prof.

it comes natural

*giggles*

I think everyone that has contributed past and present needs a round of It's not easy thinking up stuff to go in and even writing Entries elsewhere can be challenging.

I have been racking my brains trying to conjure up something christmassy but all I can think of is one line 'why the christmas fairy nearly didn't go to the annual bau-ball'. get it?

Anyway I look forward to meeting the rhino and reading the rest of

keep writing

Thank you, Opti


I'm sure your appreciation has given everyone a big boost!

That's Lil ...I hope you are right
