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

Hello Mina,

I've heard a lot about you directly and indirectly, but am relatively new on this site, so have never decently met you.

I'm not English (though I'd love to be, especially for the sense of humour). But I was in England last summer, and went to the BBC, intending to go and visit everyone on behalf of my friend, only to discover I'd gone to the wrong BBC . . . or something like that. This is all explained on my space though.

Anyway, hello, nice to finally meet you.

Hello there! I always start wondering who has been talking about me when people say that. I'll assume it was someone who has been saying nice things, or you wouldn't have dropped in to say hi.

I read your space, who is 'your friend', and how did you manage to crash into the BBC? It's sometimes difficult for staff to get inside the building!

Well yes, there was an exciting bit with a door and some sort of identity card and quick dodgy moves. We had someone on the inside . . .

Friend = Niwt, the lovely thing.

Another friend of mine was on here at one point, but only for about the length of my first one.

Yes, heard a million brilliant things about you. Sorry!

Someone on the inside? Bank job was it?

Indeed.

Hello, who're you?

Thank you for attaching yourself to this conversation. I badly need to get to know some people, lest a fall into to a downward spiral of being, or feeling, left out.

Nice to meet you.

I'm the same person - I just changed my name.

Sorry for the confusion.

Ah! Whoops...

Er...ugh...

That was very embarrassing. Sorry.

Ideno/Rambling Ripley,

I've been checking out your space again and I have a couple of things to ask/say/probe.

Firstly, greatly approve of the name, I think its gorgeous and if everyone could be struck by such brilliance in the space of ten minutes the world would be a better place.

Secondly, please excuse me if I'm way out of line, or irritating, especially since I don't know you so well, but, are you seem a bit confused, or sad, or something, not just about your name. Are you Ok? ?

Hi again! Thanks! It's not often I'm told I'm brilliant. I know I am of course, but people don't often say it. The credit really has to go to my son though, he thought of it simply by not thinking of anything.


I'm ok - going through a few ups and downs at the moment. I keep being hit with the blues, then they go, then come back over the last week or so. There are a few things on my mind, and I can't work out which one is the one that I need to shrug off to cheer up a bit. I always bounce back though!

When you can't sleep at night because your head is full of a work issue it's probably time to go out and party! Especially when you wake up, and it's still buzzing round there...

Tell me about it! I'm a teenager! We're ups and downs personified!

Though yours manage to sound far more sophisticated.

, no ? Maybe you should eat more to balance your head. They say a full head and an empty stomach is the worst recipe for sleep...

That must be it - I'm going through my second teenagerhood.

I'd better hide in my room and not come out for three years, to make it really authentic.

Three years? Oh no, that's way to little.

And don't forget to constantly be suspicious of parental conspiracy and pick arguments whenever possible. And Complain about everythng that comes to mind, and worry desperately about every item of clothing you wear.

There are dozens more, but those are some of the essentials...if you want to be authentic that is...
