Cap'n A

do you know your old user number?

andy

if you do know the number then where you type in your web address type in this address or copy and paste it

http:/www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/testeruserpage197864


197864 is mine so just replace the number ok !!

this will bring you back on to your page as an analysis and you can then copy and paste this information back over as for your journal entries there are two options here firstly by clicking on your old space then joining the conversations

or if you just want the actual entries then copy and paste and then add on to your new space ok


andy

Thankyou! I think that might work, even though I don't know my old user number.

Cap'n A

andy

Oh don't worry I've found it now, your idea worked (I gave you a mention in my new intro). Have you written an entry?

Cap'n A

andy

Arr, t'is a cryin' shame. I'm sure if I go to Cuba (which is quite possible as my dad is mad about the place) I will be able to use your guide! I'm thinking of writing an entry on Arthur the Aardvark. I'll have to do a bit of research first though. Have you ever heard of him?

Ciao
Cap'n A

no i dont think i have but i would urge your dad to go visit cuba before it gets to commercialised ok


andy

andy

Coolie woolie, I'll tell him it's been recommended now. I've only been abroad twice and one was only a day trip. Where else have you been?

Ciao

I like vampires - how did you know? I'm not quite sure how it works, but I think I'm getting the hang of it. I've already ran out of action points (I have -1) so I've been in the same place for a while. Lol!

Ciao
Captain A

well you visit it every day or i do well im gonna have no blood left by the time i get on lol


andy

Yeah I've usually not got a lot of blood left by the time I get back to it. I spent all of yesterday doing coursework for ICT and now I have to do maths today. Boring! Well at least it won't be as bad as my physics homework that was in for last friday (see intro).

Ciao
Cap'n A

best is to go for humans they have more blood ok

andy

I'm doing a bit better now actually. I've sired three people and I have a few coins and about 60 pints of blood. How about you?

Cap'n A
