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

OhmyGod.
What have I done?

Actually, I'd been thinking about a name change for the last year or so. Just be grateful I didn't call myself something ridiculous like 'BH Calcutta' or something

I don't like change. Mainly because I can't decide whether to switch my h2g2 name to "Mr603" as I have on other sites.

*AHEM*

I reckon you owe me a for that one next time we meet up

Coincidentally, I was looking at this as a possible tattoo, carrying over from the other thread http://www.theauthenticperishers.co.uk/images/bh.jpg

A whole ?? Ermm, I don't think I can make it to wherever you're going, whenever it is, after all...

I just discovered that BH still exists: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/user/03/u147203.shtml

How did you dig that up?

Either I've bookmarked every single post you've ever made, or judicious use of Google. Whichever is less scary, I guess

'and JulesK is nattering to every famous person she can lay her hands on'

oops, found out!

Gulp. Hey ho. Didn't have much cred round here anyway...

I found Bill Roache (Ken Barlow from Coronation Street) on Twitter the other day, while just idly wandering around. He seems to have taken the classic path through any social networking site.

First, have no idea what's going on:

'Hi, William Roache here. Not too sure how this works, how do I find people to follow?'

Find some friends:

'Thanks for the notes everyone, good to see it is working! Looks a good place this, looking forward to some interesting conversations!' [Oh, the naivety]

Slowly work out what's going on:

'One question though, how do I write back to you?'
'Someone has now shown me how to reply, didn't realise the time though. Will not get through them all tonight I'm afraid' [Bless 'im. He really thought he had to reply to everything directed at him]

Indulge in a bit of hardcore banality:

'Settling down with a well deserved cup of tea and a biscuit. But only the one!'

'Salmon or kippers for tea? Decisions decisions....'

'I ended up plucking for the salmon. Exquisite. Bloody exquisite.'

'Tucking into a bag of Murray Mints. Would anybody like one?'

Rapidly descend into confused madness:

'Why are people asking me to change my location to Iran?'

'I would be lying if I said I didn't fancy @MarthaStewart . Please respond to my DMs sweetie.'

And then the clincher: the final, beautiful, tweet to bring a Nighthooverish end to an all-too brief and all-too-often baffled stay on Twitter:

http://twitter.com/Bill_Roache

That's just exquisite.

Don't keep us in suspense - what does that final exquisite posting say? (I can't see Twitter from my work computer).

>>I don't want to live in Iran, leave me the hell alone!!!!<<



Awww.. Bless
