Yet another hello

Postby TobyT » 25 Feb 2021, 16:23

Hello,

Just a traveller amongst boards seeking the answers to life, the universe and things I don't know about (which to be fair is pretty much everything).

3 Posts before I got 42 :-)

What is the question? I can't think of a woodworking one that fits the bill at the moment. Apologies to those that haven't read THGTTG.

The onlt thing you need to apologies about to a person who hasnt read thgttg is the fact they are heathens.

Welcome Toby. I was going to ask what THHGTTG was. Then I thought about it for a while and thought I should ask a better question so I thought back to a joke I read the other day and a question I asked my mate Scottish Alex. We were in the pub and I was doing the crossword. Picture it. I know the pubs are shut. It's a joke alright.
"Alex mate. I'm stuck. 8 across. Starts with M. Ends with D. Eight letters big man."
"Oh aye, what's the clue?"

"Stuck on a desert Island."
"Easy! Marooned."

"Thanks!" I said. "I'll have a pint of guiness".

Miss Marple was in a compartment with her friend on the 6.30pm train to Bognor Regis, both doing the Times crossword. They could see seated opposite an elderly vicar also doing the Times crossword. Miss Marples' friend leaned over to her and whispered "I'm stuck on 5 Down.....the clue is "Definitely female'. Four letters. Something ..unt". "That's easy" said Miss Marple. "Aunt". "Damn" said the vicar scrubbing his own answer out.

Hi and welcome, “from the book". It’s unpleasantly like being drunk, what’s unpleasant about being drunk? Ask a glass of water!
