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

I have decided to lurk less.

just when the world is pining for a lurker. you and your sadism make me Sick!

with a capital S too
oh well, better some reaction than no reaction at all

uppercase S reactions happen to be my highest form of reaction and whether or not you were impressed, i put a hell of alot of effort into that reaction and regard it as one of my best yet

no..it had a lot of dramatic impact

oh yes indeedy, i could feel it from all the way over here.

maybe you had a minor earthquake, I'm not sure a capital
S makes THAT much impact

actually we did have a minor earthquake ( i kid you not - just check slug and LT if you don't believe me) but i'm pretty sure i can tell the difference. well fifty percent sure anyway

I heard about one in wales a few days ago, no injurys, no damage.
It's quant what makes the news in the UK

don't worry it was just our Jonah going for a run.

oh no..now a kiwi is beating me in the witty reply
game as well, is there no end to it

Being English, I'm now in the awkward position of
having to support France as the northern hemisphere
last hope.

oh i think last hope is a good choice of words. not that i think we're necessarily going to win.

wouldn't have thought it was very natural for the english to support the french - go on support the all blacks or the aussies (unless that nasty briel boy is still playing for them) you know you want to.

hmm...in many ways you are right, but theres this northern hemi-sphere vs southern thing.
And the french do play such pretty rugby..I've got till saturday to decide

tell you what - you back the french, i'll back the all blacks, and then between us we've got it covered - the french could actually take it if mehrts isn't fit and tony brown has a shocker and the french play with ture gallic flair - i wouldn't put anything past them, they pull out all the stops when the pressure's on.

O.K, I'll support the french (i cant believe I just said that!)

will you watch it?
(will it be some ungodly hour your time?)

yep to the ungodly hour - maybe to the watching it - i've got exams all next week and really need to save up all my waking hours to drag my studies back from the deep dark depths of despair.

span

your right, there will be other world cups
and the all blacks will always get to the semi finals.
Get yourself sorted for your exams
Good luck

oh i don't know that the all blacks will always get to the semi finals - but the semi finals won't always be five hours before my next exam. thanks for the luck - and sorry about the icq thing, i'm still working out how to work it and i can't find you!
enjoy your lurking
span

no worries, I'll find you sometime

Is this a private conversation or can anyone join in? And as for all blacks mmmmmmmmm
Thats about as far as my Rugby appriciation goes, although I used to play.
