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

You'll be sorely missed, Peta. Good luck in your new job, and don't forget to pop in and see us now and then, eh?

Hmmm. New job?

No... surely it can't be...

with the new job. It's been real

Hi Ginger,

God the first ever h2g2 meet - that seems such a long time ago! You bought the rounders stuff and met your husband to be! Great day!

Thanks Skankyrich,

I'll definitely come by and see you all, I don't think I'll ever forget where my towel is!

Yes coele - I'm off to be the new Doctor! Well maybe not, but that'd be a nice job! Great idea!

And Jordan,

Guide-writer extraordinaire - thanks for all your hard-work - and the rest of you actually - you all do such a great job here. Look after the italics for me, give them a cuddle from time to time!

Well, maybe not the new Doctor, but he does seem to be a bit lonely in that TARDIS now.

Dear Peta,

I have just come across this message by mistake- so to speak.

I am sad you are leaving, but thrilled that you have got such a marvellous opportunity.

I wish you every success and hope that someday our paths may cross.
With all good wishes for your future.

I had not realised that you had actually worked with Douglas Adams.

Have you written about this period.? I never had the good fortune to be around when he was alive. I have laughed myself silly at his writings.

So I wish you well on your new and exciting journey.

I have come back with yet another run-name, this time I shall not forget it as I have called myself after my birthday which I celebrated on the 23rd May 2008 when I turned 80 years old. I cannot believe it, and actually, although I am still in my wheelchair feel so much better.

It just shows you what nice fresh sea air does to one.

So, au revoir, and thank you for all that you have done for this marvellous website.

I was kind of hoping if he transformed that he'd be a woman doctor next time, it's about time!

Hi AlsoRan,

Thank you for visiting this thread, and thank you - it's lovely to see you again, I remember meeting you at one of the meet-ups in the park!

I haven't written about the Douglas Days, maybe I should, I have so many fond memories of those days, it was a really exciting, interesting and I have to say wacky place to work!

I'm glad you feel better - I hope I'm as active and cheery as you when I hit eighty!

There are a couple of older ladies over on Points of View - I'll post a link if I can find it - there's lovely people and I'm sure they'd love to meet another silver-surfer, I'll post a link.

I've invited the lovely ladies of POV to say hi here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/mbpointsofview/F2131439?thread=5642853

Peta lets hope they manage to get on here though. I am sure we will get them here even if it kills us.

Hi AlsoRan80,

I am GoldenGirl and (after a lot of messing about, on my part), I have finally found this thread. I am really not sure about what I am doing on here!!

I am a 77 year old from the POV board and I am very pleased to meet you. I expect I'll get used to this new thread - given time!!

When I get a bit more confidence in what I am doing, I will add your name to my list of contacts.

I am here at last, Angelic - so you can relax now!!

and best wishes Petra. Pamela

Hello AlsoRan.

Peta has introduced me to you via Points of View. I am 77 and haven't been to this site before, but I thought I would say hello to you.

I am also sad Peta is leaving, but obviously pleased she is moving on to something which excites her. Wherever she is going, they will soon find she is a diamond. GoldenGirl and I couldn't believe she has opened a thread just for us, to lead us to you.

love, Lilian'sgirl.

Boing!!!

Peta, I have just realised when I looked to see my message to AlsoRan, that I am on your own thread, and I have written about you in the third person. I must try harder, but once again I will say to you....Thanks for all your help, and good luck.

Lilian'sgirl

You're very welcome! And I'm more than happy for you to chat on this thread - go girl!

Peta,

I happened across this thread while doing some Welcoming. I really can't believe that you are leaving - it always seemed to me that you would be here forever - like me

Thank you for your time, your devotion to h2g2, your tolerance and for all your hard work. You will be missed

Naturally I hope that your new job brings you all the joy and satisfaction that you deserve, but please don't forget us ... come back for a visit.

Thank you again and

Feisor
