Welcome one and all to Milliways, the restaurant at the end of the universe. I will be your host for this evening...*oops, wrong script*

Hi there. Welcome to the wonderful, compelling, fascinating, mysterious, intriguing, exotic world of h2g2; the Earth edition of the best-selling electronic book, The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. As my lovely shiny badge indicates, I am an ACE¹, and it is my duty and pleasure to assist newcomers to h2g2 to settle in and get their bearings.
