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

No intrusion at all... I actually came online as soon as I could after to see if I could catch any film gossip.. No luck then and it looks like no luck now!

It was actually war today. I'm beginning to worry.

Ouch... I don't like the sound of that at all... I tend to avoid kid's rides for those unwritten "you won't fit in" style musings.. I have known some places to put hight restrictions to them ("you must be this short to enter" or "adults must be accompanied by a child under 56"). I need to get to Alton Towers agan at some point... Last time I went I think Hex was the newest thing. That was straange

Erm. That should be "warm" not "war", else I really would be worried

Glad to hear it If you think I'm intruding at any time, tell me to back off

Sorry I mised you I was looking out for you today- I actually went online for a while after I got the delivery report to see if you were online, but no luck Would have been on more tonight, but I bought Starsky & Hutch (the new film) today with money I got from my grandparents for graduating, so I watched that at 8:00, and then Dan, Abi and Jenny came to visit. They've just gone.

When I read the 'war' bit, I thought you were talking about the internal conflicts. Was going to say ditto... I told you about the internal conflict I'm currently having... needless to say, tonight didn't help!

Hex was really disappointing... they gave it so much hype and it didn't live up to it... it was O.k, but not worth all the hype and publicity they drummed up.

Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be promptly warned if that's ever the case...

No worries MSN says you're onlin now, but I don't know if I believe it or not It can be such a liar! Wooo! Car Keys and Clutch! That's another film I've been meaning to watch... I've played the PS2 game, but I think I might try and catch some of the original series beforeI try the film Always nice to have a visit .. Actually, that reminds me, I need to ring someone later. My brain is a colinder.

Just you stay clear of those weapons of mass destruction..

I don't really remember the hype. I just found it vaguely disappointing how quickly I woked out what was going to happen. I meant that I spent most of the ride watching how it worked and laughing at the people believing it. Cheap trick, really..fairly standard in any fairground.

Good

I was asleep, so I missed your big poky stick

I haven't played the game... but want it! It looks so cool!I nearly bought the first series box set, but restrained myself...
Yes, it is, especially when you're bored out of your brains!
You need to ring someone in general? Or a specific phone call? Good luck.. I hate phone calls!

I think it's only a matter of time before certain parts of me turn into WMD's!

It was a bit of fun, but not groundbreaking by any means.

TK[1]

I figured... Can't believe I missed you by only an hour this time

It's great fun! You really do need two players, though... Someone to drive and someone to shoot
Know the feeling...
I need to ring a friend of mine because she said she'd ring me and she didn't. Although it's not realy worth even trying, her phone is always engaged. I hate making phone calls too. Euugh.

Oh dear..

Yeah...it's the kind of ride that's always funny to watch people on. Hey, do you have any particular favourite coasters/rides?

Missed ya again, by the looks of things

Well, I've got that if I go up to Leicester- Steve wants to play it desperately too. Though I'd rather be doing the real thing
Aw, I'd visit you if I could

It's annoying when you work yourself up to phoning someone and they just don't answer, or it's engaged...

I don't know what it is, but I just hate making phone calls. I even hate talking to answering machines- I always make a total gimp of myself, stuttering and saying the wrong words...

I like Nemesis and the Spinball Whizzer. I also like Runaway Minetrains, even though a friend of mine got hit in the face by a branch on the Alton Towers one once!

I also liked X:No Way Out at one of the theme parks down south- it was a bit like the Black Hole only it went backwards.

TK[1]

Not had a lot of luck lately...

It is a fab game... and if I enjoy a driving game, you know it's good.. I don't know, I think I'd prefer to have a run round in a jeep through lot of mud and trees. Though that could just be me...

Definitely. I *really* should ring her. I aught to ring my nan and my grandma too... Euugh. I don't think I'd mind phones so much if they were all video phones..I doubt it'll be long before that happens.

I need to get down the Alton Towers sometime and and try Spinball Whizzer out... Haven't been in ages
That sounds fun.... And if it's down south it has to be near me somewhere, right? I'll have a look into it..

No I think it may be the case that if we had spoken yesterday something disaterous may have happened... some kind of divine intervention.

Or an annoying bitch of a bad luck day.

I love driving games... but only the good ones
Mud and trees sounds like some kind of fetish... but saying that, I do quite like the sound of it too (in the driving game context, I mean).

Cool, get a 3 phone! I'll get one too, and then we can just ring each other until everyone else gets one.

We could get together a mini- meet and go to AT for the day! Or 2 days, then we get to stay in the cool hotel...

It was... I can't remember what it was called. Might have been Chessington. Hang on... *googles*... Thorpe Park! That's the bugger! The also had a 4-D cinema there. Yes, I said 4-D. You had the 3-D specs, but the seats vibrated and you got water sprayed at you at relevant points, and Eric Idle was in the film.

TK[1]

...or possibly a bit of both. I think we made up for it yesterday, though

I'd just like to try off-road driving...sounds like fun, and as an added bonus, no traffic!

I'd get one, but jeez are they ugly...

...That sounds like a good plan... I could then kill two birds with one stone.

Thorpe park? I'm sure that's somewhere near me... Why wasn't I informed that there was an Eric Idle film somewhere near me...

"off-road driving"

only one bad thing it is wet weather. the cleaning afterwards

..Hi EE!..

Yey! But now I haven't spoken to you since friday Gonna have to make up for that too...

Yes, sounds good to me

Yeah, they are that. Make your own cover for it. A groovy one in the shape of .

THREE birds, you mean.

Yeah, it's down there somewhere...

TK[1]

Phel: There's always a downside....

Pythonfan: Hi

TK1: We haven't exactly got the whole timng thing down yet, have we? I'm betting you're asleep right now and left the PC on, right? You'll wake up,by which time I'll have sorted everything I needed to and gone and the whole thing will start againt tomorrow....Argh!



Just wait a few years untill they're unbelievably small and cheap.

Three?

Yes, it's quite close, but as I recall, everyone I know who's been says it's crap. ~shrugs~

"Phel: There's always a downside...."

sound like there is sun behind the cloud!

I was having a snooze- alarm was set for 11:00 because I've got to go and sign on at 1:00, and it takes me that long to wake up. I've just caught you though, so it's not too bad Though I can't stay for long

But then there'll be something else even better and more fun and gimmicky...

Yeah- meeting me, of course!

It's a bit of fun... beats stitting and staring at the wall.

TK[1]

Phel: ....

TK1: Well, at least I actually caught you this time... I was about to go and find a wall to bang my head against

I don't mind being unfashionable...

That was my second bird! What's my third?

I'd like to go on the basis that I haven't been before. Got to be worth a snoop at least.

"unfashionable.."


"all the freaky people make beauty of the world"

quote from Michael Franti & Spearhead's "stay human" from the amazing cd "stay human". a cdplay set in fictious radiostation where they talk about wrongness of capital punishment.

Poorer luck this time,though.

It's not the fashion I'm worried about... it's not being able to indulge in my geeky pleasures. I'm a gadgetmonster, you know that!

O.k, I thought the first two were 1. going to Alton Towers and, 2. going to a meet.

Yes. I like to go to places I haven't been to before. Especially if no one else has either- it's bound to be nice and quiet then.
