  1. I can't help thinking that somewhere in there Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz is about to read poetry.

  2. This Badger currently having sufficient beer and peanuts to survive a ride on a #Vogon ship

    Anyone know if they're heading this way?

  3. Of course, #Microsoft == #Vogon.

    “But the plans were on display…”

    “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”

    “That’s the display department.”

    “With a flashlight.”

    “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”

    “So had the stairs.”

    “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”

    “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.'"

  4. @Noortjevee @HitchhikersGuideQuoteBot2 please, no! I couldn't stand it!

    (But I will admit to actually having tried to intellectually understand #Vogon poetry. Oh frettled gruntbuggly...)

  5. Do I know any lawyers?

    Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

  6. Do I know any #English lawyers?

    Nothing bad, I am just curious how someone would get case documents out of the court system for a tribunal I did back in 2014 - Since I assume those documents are "public" now.

  10. CW: corporate workplace madness

    come to think of it, the mind-numbing, utterly tedious, mandatory #meetings often encountered in large companies do have a lot in common with #vogon poetry sessions.

    that's what I'm going to call them from now on!

  11. Dear Friends of SAUSAGES [said in my best dawg voice] 🦞

    Even though I don't pawn or own a visible dog, I speak fluent
    #canine. And just like me, they do like their sausages. Just had four for breakfast. Real pork. None of that #vogon or #vegan #processing. When the #wolf has your tongue. SAUSAGES!

    As I believe in a
    #balanced diet, took one multivitamin, #sauerkraut, for my gut microbiome and gott 😇 wholemeal #seed bread and #butter to #house the sausage AND a pot of #English decaff #tea to fight my #caffeine #drug habit.

    Obviously I am still a
    #heretical #Moslem, #Jew, Vegan. And as a heretical #Buddhist of all but the Tantrists and a few other cults, I will never make Jain-Hood. Not that I was trying. Wait... I am trying...

    The point is
    #failure is an #option and for some the only lonely #choice. Just don't beat yourself up over it [usual Nazi #exclusions apply, Nazis are fair game as Tom Cruise Ship might say]

  14. PSA: people like @AndresFreundTec do not provide their invaluable service because of some 's checklist. imho, this is a case of how smart people do great work outside their box if they are allowed to.

  15. "...one of potentially tens of thousands of EU citizens who were unaware the Home Office changed the rules in 2019 requiring them to apply for a different scheme, called EU settlement"
    "...she was then wrongly told by the authorities to apply for a replacement biometric residency identification...[which] was also rejected and she was finally [told] to apply for the EU settlement scheme, which had officially closed in June 2021"

  16. My SO is doing some physio exercises on the floor, using a rolled up towel.

    Entering the room and seeing her there I immediately worried we were in for some #Vogon poetry imminently.

  17. So excited that the content for #42 is complete and publication this summer is on track. Glad to be among those supporting this important work. Will there be new #Vogon poetry unearthed from the #DouglasAdams archives? Who knows! kickstarter.com/projects/unbou
