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

Not much happening here, really. The nurses were about to go on strike but then they got a bigger raise than most and didn't. Now they can afford more than me .

Ah yes, and in Harjavalla they use tanks or something to get into a bar. Well, after some shooting. Well, it's a s pub...

Ouch, and there's a new strike plotting in Alko...

It wasn't a bar, it was the Bandidos motorbike club's club house. The police entered it with a tank. I want one too! The Alko strike isn't a problem, they still sell in supermarkets. And there's always Tallinn.

Yeah, I know. But altogether it was a cool event. And yes, there's always Tallinn. When will you be there?

i want to go to tartu

i also want a raise like the finnish got!

But you don't want to drive a tank into s club and you don't want to strike with Alko?

i will personally drive a tank into anyone suggesting an alcohol-related strike

Oh dear, they may be in trouble in Finland then.

not really. there is this alcohol free zone called sweden between us

I'm afraid Tallinn will have to wait until next year.

Driving a tank into those suggesting an Alko strike would just provide more problems! There wouldn't be anyone selling the !s

Alcohol free Sweden? Must be a different Sweden from the one I've been to..

well, yes, there is alcohol in sweden but it is hard or expensive to come by

that's why hoards of swedes travel to denmark and even germany in order to stock up on alcohol

here's a little anecdote about that:

"shakespeares play "hamlet" should be registred as science fiction. it takes place in elsinore [helsingør, border town to sweden] - but there is not one single drunk swede in it..."

mind you, danes act similarly when visiting germany

i've seen it with me own two eyes



(and i've been told i've even done it myself on occasions )

Makes me wonder where should I get my drinks from.

you don't have enough in rakvere?

But that's boring...

boring

that is a concept too difficult for me to grasp

I like travelling, remember?

ah, i see

yes, that is often the case with hitchhikers
