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

OK, so I've been here almost six months. Now, when said in cold hard terms like that, it really isn't that long, however it sure as anything seems it

I've met some really nice people who I wish I'd met in real life, and could see for real [perhaps I could, if I could get to a meet...if only they werent on a saturday ] I've also been mildly irritated by some people, though far too few for my liking, so I will have to go out and meet some more mildly disagreeable people!

I've had some interesting discussions, which have changed the way I approach a situation, and challenged me in one way or another. I've also found some cool places to linger and generally irritate the life out of people.

I've also learnt how to do some guide ml: the nearest thing I've ever got to programming, and I still delight in making that footnote work! I've dabbled in lots of different subjects, from philosophy to geography: and have two entries currently in peer review.

I've also taken part in several volunteer schemes: the ACEs and the 360 Buddies. I'm really enjoying both, though could probably partake far more in both schemes. This has also led me to chat to some of the higher echelons of this community: namely the Italics: who are so darned nice and blasted reasonable, it's unreal!

I've also burbled on for far too long, and am going to stop for before this becomes an award acceptance speech...'I'd also like to thank God...'

Too Late: It's Dagnabbit and flibbertigibbit from me, and Dagnabbit and flibbertigibbit from him.

FwT

I'm mildly disagreeable, you foolish jerk.

Only Mildly DD?

Who are ypu calling DD,. you foolish buffoon.

you, you incompetent perma-tanned idiot!

I take offence to that, you deranged halfwit.

At least I've got half! More can be said for some, you mullet-styled moron.

If we had a battle of wits, I'd whup your ass from here to Albuquerque, you charmless barracker.

charmless and a halfwit am I?

Whereas you are non-wit and an ugly one at that!

Now that IS a short summary for your delectation!

Well at least i present a popular BBC1 antiques show, tw*tface!

Well maybe I do too!

Michael Aspel.

ANtiques Roadshow? Popular?

*shouts*
GLASS OF WATER FOR MR. ASPEL PLEASE, HE'S DELIRIOUS!

We've been going YEARS!

You're just a fad with students because you wear stupid glasses: they'll find someone else with stupid glasses then you'll ROT



[Who'd've thought Aspel had it in him eh?]

It was only ever popular because of Hugh Scully, I'm the main attractiuon!

And now I will take his crown to greater heights!

you are but a pretender to the throne: Michael Aspel

mwahahahahahaha [chokes on his dentures]

Now i'm confused- are you stilkl Michael Aspel or have you morphed into Hugh Scully? Either way, I'm sure you're still a stuck-up greyheaded arse.

running out of conversation? You know what that means?!?

We've now got to [shudder] talk...

SO how be you?

Oh, fine. I actually got some revision done last night for my test this morning, which was piss easy anyway (am I allowed to use piss in that context? Oh well, I'm sure you won't yikes me), and since then I've had lunch, read the paper, played on the computer, watched a simpsons DVD and posted here a lot.

Yourself? More odd-jobs and so on?

So did I [today!]

Then I had lunch and swam 60 lengths
