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

You're right to keep away from the milk, Yelbakk - it has more side effects than it's credited with. I have my own personal war with milk at the moment, but that's beside the point.

Funny you should say that about the German meet - I logged on this very morning to start the ball rolling. We had sort of fixed 17 September in Heidelberg, but I have since found out that that date's off for me, so I'm going to have another look.

Berlin is rather far away from me, so I can't go there for an evening, much as I'd like to. (Have been twice in my life - once in 1980 and again a couple of years ago in October - loved it!) But we'll bear that meet in mind.

Whereabouts are you thinking? Maybe we could arrange a meet for an evening plus, with accommodation somewhere... Make it in Bavaria and the Austrians can join us, although that would be quite far for me

Hallo Yelbakk! Malabarista told me to come and say hello. She says you need to be entertained.
Having just found out that we're doing exactly the same subjects at uni, I suppose we might have something to talk about.
Which brings me on to another point: How come you're complaining about the lack of women in your life? Your lectures at uni must be swarming with girls. Well at least in the place where I'm studying, a good-looking straight single male is as easy to come across as that needle in the haystack, you see.

Yeah, men are like toilets - occupied or full of shit!

Sorry for keeping silent for so long. I was, as one might say, "not available". In fact, first I was busy doing nothing and then I was busy doing a lot of things all at once, and then suddenly... lame excuses. Sorry.

Hi, gwen, by the way. So you study what I study, but do you really study or are you, in fact, a student? As to the majority of students in our fields being female (or should I say, "of the fair sex"? ), yes that is right, but it seems that they are either too much in love with their respective boy/girlfriends, or too militantly anti-man, or too annoyingly girlish. God, I sound like a grumpy old man.

That said, I haste to add that I am always willing to allow for the odd exception to this, but they are few.

Ah well. Anyways. Hope to see you all around here again.

>or too militantly anti-man, or too annoyingly girlish<

So you want one who has a brain and will *still* wash your socks? Good luck, you'll need it!

I am perfectly able to wash my own socks, thankyouverymuch. For the most part, I, too, am rather anti-man. Or to maybe phrase it better: anti-what.most.people.consider.man. It's just the militant part that scares me off.

As far as the brains part is concerned, yes, I have rather high demands there, I am afraid. But thanks for wishing me good luck

Y.

Washes his own socks! What a guy!

I have to take back what I just said about being able to wash my own socks, though. I am right this moment putting up my wash on the clothes rack. All whites. So I thought. One towel (!) had the tiniest streaks of pale orange in it. Bad bad bad. Now my nice white shirt I intended to wear tomorrow has a rather rose touch! Not wearing that in front of Nachhilfeschüler who are just waiting to make fun of me!

Y.

Or just tell them it's their eyes that have the problem!

There's an idea...

Well, off to eat now. (See, I am practicing my multitasking abilities: cooking food, doing the laundry AND being on the internet. AT THE SAME TIME. Mind you, I had to turn off the radio to keep my brain from overheating )

Y.

Not bad, for a guy

Hi!
>So you study what I study, but do you really study or are you, in fact, a student?

I'd say I'm one of the "really study" sort. Which makes me the odd one out, really. Or so it seems.

Interesting what you've said about the brains - so far I've been under the impression that a girl with brains isn't, well, what most blokes are looking for.

Isn't pink/rose THE colour for shirts this season?

Seems to me, too, that brains are a big turnoff, but guys always *say* theylike them - maybe they imagine something different under that name?

Maybe you're right. Maybe some think a girl's brain must be located somewhere around her chest.

Ah! And then the bigger the better!

Exactly.

Tut-tut, lads! Stop it! we want the right to be s!

Brains? Did I say brains? Don't know where the "i" and "n" came from. I was really thinking "bras"...

Were you? I always thought Freudian slips worked the other way round.
