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

As you said last week, "Build it and they will come... "


So Clive, fancy a tuna mayo sarnie whilst you are here?

I have one of those for brekkers every day (except for today - boiled eggs and soldiers).

I won't dignify that taunt with comment.

I was only asking

Do the Wallys have an alter?

Anyone know when Lynnmas is? I'd like to put up a tree and some decorations

You could try the 27th September.

I could try any date, but would September 27th be the right one

Sorry this took so long but Phreakos addiction to H2G2 was on hiatus for a while. This has finally been added to the list of researcher fan clubs at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/A595334

Deservedly so!

Is he back yet? Did he get to keep the gall bladder to use as a spot prize?

Oh Jimmmmmm....?

Back now.

I didn't get to keep the gallbladder, but I've got the stones - 14 of them!

WB!

What are the symptoms of gallstones Jim?

"What are the symptoms of gallstones Jim?"

Excruciating chest pains that feel like you're having a heart attack. This only happens if a stone or part of a stone gets out of the gallbladder and blocks your bile ducts, leading to inflammation and pain.

I actually first had this about 7 years ago, and really did think I was having a heart attack - I phoned an ambulance and got rushed to A&E. When I got there, it had subsided, and the doctor said it was trapped wind, so I suffered these attacks for the next six months or so, assuming I just had bad indigestion. Then they stopped.

Then, last October, I was on holiday and had another attack, and assumed, again, it was trapped wind. The next attack a month later was worse - I went yellow - so I saw the doctor, got scanned and the gallstones were diagnosed.

Thankfully, since between attack and the operation I haven't had another attack, but that might be because of the (mostly) low fat diet I've been on. (Not any more - I've just ordered a Chicken Dhansak from the take away )

Chicken Dansak Glad it's all sorted

This mean you are back Jim? Hope the op went okay. Very jealous of your family btw.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

14!? yeesh.

Glad your on the mend now Jim!

Every single nurse and doctor who saw the tube with the stones in expressed a certain amount of surprise at the number. So I guess it was a lot.
