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

You're a member? Me too...

Does this mean that I've come across someone I've possibly seen in RL?

It's possible! Very scary thought.

I don't come all that often, keep running into crises, but you may recognise me as being tall, lanky with until-recently-messy hair carrying my bow around in a large black bag and a plastic tube for my arrows.

Laura... err... name kind of rings a bell. Maybe. I'm crap with names though. Did you go to the Warwick BUTTS?

No. Not up to competition standard. . Working on it though. I'm only normally there on the Wednesday practise sessions, as I'm out with RamSoc on Sundays. There's 2 Lauras (that I know of at least). I think the other one enters in competitions.

Right... well I come on Wednesdays sometimes! Unfortunately it clashes with Tai Chi, so I have to go to that sometimes instead. I'm intending to remember to go to the session tomorrow, I assume you're going home or have already gone, from your name.

Home first thing tomorrow morning, changed name now as have to pack computer shortly. But will be gone before tomorrows' archery session anyway. I went to the last Saturday session, but hardly anyone else did.

I was planning to, but I forgot. Now I have a horrible cold, so shooting today might not be a good idea either

There were only 6 of us. A cold? Always annoying. Did you make it?

No

But I'm feeling a lot better, and there's a session on Wednesday at 4pm, so I'll go to that hopefully as I've got another week here before I go home.

Now, time to do something on my dissertation

Dissertation .

Hope you get to archery ok and cold free

I keep reaching for the mouse, which is pointless seeing as I haven't unpacked it yet. Perhaps I should go and find it...

That would be good, yes. Is it a nice mouse?

It's a grey one, and well behaved.

Excellent! Mine's cordless and likes eating batteries

Oooo fancy , but I prefer my USB scroll mouse. It doesn't chew batteries which is useful as I'm forever losing the things.

Well, I was very miffed to find that not long after I got my gorgeous Logitech cordless optical mouse, they released one with a recharging station...

Aaaaaah, typical though. You get a nice bit of new technology and then a better one comes out . Especially when concerning computers.

Yes...

* sigh *

Just have to live with it!

And try and keep up with it.

And then there's always the question of what was wrong with it all before?

Still, keeps things interesting

I'm a Computer Science student, I can give you enough reasons about what's wrong with it NOW, let alone before...

Well, as an environmental science student, as long as the internet and word work then I'm happy. Currently they're both fine, although word keeps trying to change my grammer into something that makes no sense whatsoever.
