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

Made a tricorn! Not one of the leather ones - not that cool - but I bought a wool felt floppy-brimmed hat and put in a few stitches. It'll do for a coachman disguise... Mine is teal, but they had black ones, too, if you want one.

Triangularity des Geistes! We definitely need to make the leather ones sometime, too. They'd be cool.

When's your coachman gig, anyway? Will you get to do it much or is it for a on-off event?

Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday from now until Christmas I can opt out of a few days if I need to, but then I don't get paid...

I won't go on Saturday the 10th - that's the Dragonslayers 24-hour gaming event. If you want to come to that (or any of the regular ones) just say the word; you don't have to be a student.

Sounds good. What system do they use anyway?

Sorry about today's mix-up. I suppose we can reschedule. Is Monday any good for you?

Oh, all kinds of things - there are usually about 10 different games running at once, and more if you count the console gamers!

Sorry, Monday is the Christmas dinner for one of the clubs.

Spoilt for choice, then.

I think Monday might be out for me too, actually. There's a comic thing on I'd forgotten about. Let me know when suits.

You'll be sick of Christmas dinners by the time the 25th gets here!

Just realised...now you're among us infidels you have nobody to stuff chocolate in your shoes tomorrow!

Have some on me!

Well, that's not till the 6th. But tomorrow is Sinterklaas

Memories, hmm?

Yes Seriously, I get the urge to phone him more now than I did when he was alive!

I know...it makes you sad, when you remember the wee things you never thought much about at the time.

You know the tropical houses in town? Sometimes when I'm there I can "phone him" without phoning him, if you know what I mean. I can look at something he made and talk to him. (Don't worry it's not going to get religious here!)

And the best bit is that he can't answer me now.

Just noticed the tag-line, are you feeling jaded?

Of course But that was to be expected.

Sorry, missed your earlier reply here

I think it can be the most thankless task of all on the site sometimes. But they are appreciated.

I sent you an email about Manchester - you can disregard it. Doesn't look like I'll be going now, anyway.

And I only just found it, too!

Why aren't you going?

I have to go in for a service on the Friday.

So I'm not sure if it'll be practical...

Oil change?

I know Bea is flying late on the Friday, but if it's too much hassle, Pastey is also trying to set up Skype to talk to the people who can't come

Yeah, need my catalytic converter tweaked.

Hey, look what I found. Some songs don't die, they just keep getting re-born.

I clicked on it, against my better judgement... Pity it doesn't have Arabic lyrics, we could agree on those.

(Yarreau says you have too much time on your hands, looking for stuff like that )
