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

Um...
Sorry to trouble ye again...

Sadly the copy and paste was unsuccessful despite being very prompt. I've just realized that my text put ellipsis at the end of the reference code and thus the reference is incomplete as it reads: 0349...

The full number is: 0349118140

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

What are ye like, eh? !

Nah, have it now corrected, so no worries!

Now go do ONE HUNDRED LINES and stand in the corner with your face to the wall and finger on mouth until I come back again... that'll be in about.... 9 hours, I reckon?? Good!

ENJOY, Pencilheadcaseboy!

About to commence one hundred lines, facing wall with appropriately positioned finger.

I'll try not to do it again miss, honest I will.

ENJOYING, oh Queen of all Geometric Equipment.

PS can I wear the Dunce's Hat too?

Excuse me Miss....but he moved his finger.....
It was when I (the illustrious and perfectly formed looby) entered the room.
I don't know if this was a sign or not.....
(not being worldly wise)
but he should have kept it still - so he really should do another night - with 100 lines....
I will not move my finger under any circumstances - not even if loobyloo enters the room.....
Is that fair?

I guess 21 hoursis a bit long to be standing in that broom cupboard corner. You can come out now, Station!!

AND Ms Looby!!! How COULD you even torment his 'pencilcaseboy' with your astounding wit, charm and wicked ways???! YOU really should be getting detention for disturbing his stance and allowing his finger to twig!!

And 'Is that fair?'

Nah, You should have pushed him into the cupboard and ran away with the key. Sure isn't he a wee 'explorer' after all?!!

But Jen....I tried....really I did.... but he to dragged me in....got his pencil case out....instruments...allsorts....pertractors...a ruler...said he didn't use it as a rule....I was helpless. He mentioned exploring something or other just before I managed to break free....
my virtue hanging by a gossamer thread......

Cripes!

Looks like I'm for it again!

Don't know why I always misbehave in Human Biology. (Note to self - remember the bromide in future - self control failing as usual).

Returning to Stationery Cupboard with ream of A4 and box of pens. Gaffa tape securely in place.

When can I have my pencil case back miss?

OK, two days is looooooooong enough -

YOU CAN COME OUT NOW!!!

for the delay, but I DO know that you liked it in there and befriended the dustmites and colouring pencil shavings...

I've been unable to get in here since Tues but will be back on later tonight to chat and see if you have learnt your lesson and done those '100 lines' and haven't chewed your finger off - PLUS I believe that Ms Lobby dished out a thousand 'Hail Mary's ' while she was at it! Ha! Hope ye said a decade for my soul!

Away now to work to annoy my "Large Print Borrowers' and little ole 'Thrills & Gloom' readers...

Catch ye later, pencilboy!

The Teacher's Pen

Phew. It was starting to get a bit stuffy in there. Can't stretch to a whole decade, but I'll light a wee candle for your soul after I finish cleaning out my ears. They're not as bad as Father Hackett's but there should be just enough.

Enjoy the books again, I'm off to art class now. Apparently we get to colour in a picture of our illustrious and perfectly formed life model. I've got new crayons too.

Hope to have the 100 lines ready, but it depends if my eyes can re-adjust to the light...

Mornin' pupil (as in two hopefully still in your sockets),

Sorry I haven't been around here much or on e-mail RE: Writer contacts etc... But just so's ye know, I'm beevouring (sp?) away in the background. Also hope to secure a few more notary authors this w'end at that 'Reader's Day' thing I told ye of in Dublin. Have a 4-5 bloody sore arse journey to endure from about 1pm. Planning on chewing gum and reading my horrorscope.

Have you had any more luck with your lot? My bunch seem to have halted. Might readdress if not heard anymore after the w'end, and include a link to those that have already posted comment...

And seeing as we're on the edge of the w'end, I have scrapped your lines. Just make sure you sharpen your pencils next time, or else!!

Anyway, have a cool w'end and Hi to A and T. Don't breathe a word to the 'Sea Monkeys'. Don't feel like wishing them well today. I might do by Monday, so catch ye then.

Mrs. Doyle anyone?

PS: Will be throwing Part 2 of 'Mind Your P's & Queues' into the fold. This one concerns buses and the same feckin' bus I will be suffering on later this afternoon...

Gemini,

You spend too much time worrying about letting people down. Nice people will understand that you are a secret workaholic and respect the amount of work you are doing.

The weekend will see a long tedious journey, but fear not, you will be rewarded with fun and relaxation at the end of it.

A family reunion is predicted.

Both eyes remain firmly in sockets, albeit causing a slight vision malfunction due to large esspresso intake.

No further responses gained sadly, may also send out some "reminders" if nothing received in near future.

Looking forward to reading P's and Q's when posted.

Thanks for scrapping lines, I will see if I can't utilize the extra time to write something new myself.

Aideen and Thomas would say hi if they were here, but they're not so the day is mine, mine I tell you, mine!

Have fun.

Aye, and you too. Remain stationery, now!
Cheers.
