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

Ever since that incident on the gravel behind a garden shed in Watford I have discovered my a deliberate need to not do anything mundane in my life any more. This was further confirmed when last week the light bulb in my fridge stopped working. I tapped it and I opened the door and closed it again several times to try and confuse it into working again, but to no avail. So I left it like that in the hope that someone else might come along and think it needed fixing. However it seems nothing gets done around here unless I do it! Which is a damn shame for those poor humans I share this home with since I am now on another planet altogether and will undoubtedly be unavailable to fix things, wash things, cook things or any other domestic task one can think of for many years to come (hopefully Veers?) So I guess this home will become the pig sty it was meant to be before I ever exsisted. Still not to worry I have discovered a very nice home on this other planet I am on and have spent some 20 out of the last 28 days there, it is magic.

now litlle man in your frigde is unemployed.

My planet is always available to you, fp.

Anyway, the little lights in fridges are an illusion. So pheloxi needn't worry too much.

I worry anyway
...my frigde joke would work anymore!

It's good that you worry. Nobody else seems to care about the little chap in the fridge that works the light. You deserve a pat on the back for being such a caring person.

The lights in fridges are an illusion, but the little men who work them are real.

thanx

Far be it for me to be the cause of any little men to become unemployed - I have been out today with the sole purpose of buying and installing a new light bulb for the little man to work with, however when it gets installed is another problem because that means me actually taking time out from day dreams of other planets and gravel, so I guess it may be some time before the little man is employed once more.

As luck would have it, I'm in need of a new fridge, so if the little man wants to come and work in mine, he's very welcome.

You know what, never mind fridges and little men who work the lights in 'em. I want to know how to do smileys on my postings....help? BTW let me introduce myself EV....call me fp from now on, as Veers prefers it (smiley face would be posted here) **extends hadn to shake with EV**

perhaps I should have extended my hand instead of my hadn...never mind....brain not working these daze!

*shakes fp by the hand, and also by the hadn*

fp it is then. Well now, there are a couple of ways to do smileys. The simple ones can be done by typing, for example, : - ) (without spaces) to create , : - ( for , and so on. Others are a bit more complicated and require a special codeword which is enclosed within < > brackets... such as < cake > for and < cheers > for . You can see all the smileys here: <./>Smiley</.>

Does that help?

thank you EV, I consider you a very good friend already since Veers has told me alot about you but now I know we are gonna get on very well. Cheers matey and have a nice evening x

I do me best. *raises hat*

Dr E. V. is always the gentleman.

Ah , Dr Vibbenbrrrrrrr *raises borrowed hat*, so good to see that you and fp have met. I hope you both get along. Please do remember, though, that she's not allowed on the furniture.

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

What's so funny? You're not allowed on the furniture. Not without permission, anyway. Mind you, neither is the cat.

*Palbert stares*

But is fp allowed on the cat's furniture?

tch tch

's like squirel

Not so sure i want to share Palbert's furniture with a squirrel! Anyway I doubt Palbert would allow me on her furniture since she already gives me dirty stares every time I arrive.
