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

Haven't been online recently as I've been doing things. Not least going to Cyprus for a geology fieldtrip. I went for tem days more than a month ago and it was hard but quite crazy. I bought a shisha.

A couple of days later I went to bristol for a house party and had the most crazy weekend for a while. It was great!

I've got a house (but no job, yet) lined up for when I leave my current place. Its still in plymouth and not that far. It has a nice front room but the rooms are not as nice as my current abode. I'm staying there over the summer with some chick who I haven't met yet but is some sort of hardcore christian. The landlord is also a hardcore christian. We (myself, a chinese guy and a couple of mauritians) went to his house once and he has all these crusifixes and religious icons on the walls. I don't know what he's going to think about us, the mauritians are hindi and at the moment I get the impression that he thinks that I'm some sort of drug-addled homosexual. The reason for this is when he came to our house to give us our contracts, the shisha was on my floor next to one of my best friends who was sticking a warhammer 40k tank together. Said friend is straight but rather camp. Never mind. At least it means that the christian girl will not see me threatening if the landland tells her I'm gay. (she'll never see it coming! MHWaHAhahasaa!)

A colleague says that working the old 'unthreatening homosexual' hustle has allowed him to 'pull' many times. Trouble is, none of them were ladies...

Glad to hear that you're still alive (if you can call living in Plymouth 'being alive').

hi, you don't know me, but what's a shisha?


Or do I not want to know?

I'd guess that it's something similar to a hookah or a 'bong'.
I don't know much about such things, though. I lead a sheltered life...

PF's right!

also known as a water pipe of a "hubbly Bubbly" (if you happen to be an idiot)

Mine looks remarkably like the one on the front page of

Nargilah in Arabic, by the way.
I liked your title so much I came to read about the man. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too

I've just realised, there is no shakehand smiley!

Some of us tried to get a smiley years ago. I'm not really a person. We could do with a as well.

? It's possible to consider it as wave...

Smileys aren't the answer, I guess.

My sister came to visit a few days ago. She saw the shisha and remarked "thats one hell of a bong". Then I went up to bristol with my sister and stayed on her sofa for a night. Next morning I went to visit some friends who life in Sandford and work at the cider farm.

Unfortuntally, I missed the last bus to sandford, so this prooved rather difficult. I took a bus to the nearist stop and found other means of getting the rest of the way
Stayed there for a few days and not suprisingly drunk huge quantities of cider. I even drunk some of the homemade wine which prooved rather potent.
Left my sleeping bag at the bus stop on the way back. Oops

Ooh, Thatchers, very nice! I was drinking some of their stuff last week...

I drank huge quantities of unfiltered, unpasturied, cloudy cider. It was good.

I'd brought back big bottles of Perry (made from pears), gold, Vintage and Christon orchard.

I've only drunk the gold so far as I've been rather ill the last few days

oh, hope you feel better now.

I hope your not implying that I was Ill because I drank so much. Because that is not the case. I became ill a few days after I stopped drinking. I woke up one morning and chundered. I hung around the house all day being ill. It was not fun. Then I had a very bad nights sleep and woke up at 6 am with the mother of all headaches. I could barely see straight. I then searched the house for some painkillers. I found some in the cupboard of someone who had left. These helped. I felt well enough to eat again that afternoon

Never implied, or indeed thought, anything of the kind.
Happy you're feeling better now.
