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

Hi,everyone. I am a bit nervous about what I'm doing here...not really used to writing,you see. I haven't really done any serious writing since '87 back in community college,so I'm a bit rusty--I'm fairly coherent most of the time though,so I shouldn't be too hard to follow!! I will ask 2 favors of this community: 1. If I ever pontificate at any time,on any subject whatsoever,please be so kind as to drop a virtual anvil on my noggin !!! 2. I have been using the BBC site as a means of educating myself & breaking out of a self-imposed hermitage that has lasted far too long!!! Please, let me know how about other sites I can visit(and other people here)that can help me along. I wish to thank everybody for the warm greetings given me so far-- I hope to have a long and happy stay here!!&to all!!

Don't worry m'dear; you are actively encouraged to pontificate on thie site!!!

Hmm, other places to visit...I've just joined a site called Hospitality Club, which seems nice & friendly, the idea is that people offer to host travellers; who pay their own expenses, but not rent, security checks are in place so you don't get axe murderers turning up! It's good if you are a bit isolated, which i am & there's no obligation to actually act as host or indeed visit anyone;, but a nice way of meeting people from all over the world:

A purely fun site that a few of us from hootoo are on is the Nation States; create your own nation, te he, it can be a democracy, dictatorship, you decide, vote on issues & get into trade agreements, whatever!


This one's mine:

Do you have Instant Messaging? That's a brilliant way to waste endless hours chatting!!! I'm not going to put my MSN address on here 'cos i would probably end up with 14,000 people all yakking & never get anything done at all, but i will give you my email & if you get in touch, will then pass on MSN address if you want.

Welcome to hootoo,you will never be truly lonely while you have "us lot" around! Do feel free to come & lurk my Personal Space & drop by the journal thread "Eye EYe" , it's a sort of drop in chat room for my mates, they are a friendly if somewhat loopy crowd, we laugh, cry, joke, sulk, moan, giggle, whatever friends do!

& Hippo Gnu Yurt!

Thank you for the gracious welcome!! I'll be sure to visit the links provided soon!!
