'We put the CAC in AggGagCAC.'

There has been a new flurry of interest in quality non-EG writing and the notion of The Underguide, so our man Subcom has got together a page here that lays down just about all the details as to where we've been, where we think we are and where we think we might consider going in the future. The more the merrier, as we've always said, so come on over and lend a hand/ear/typing_finger!

So this week your faithful CAC scavenger crew digs up the h2-low-down on Cambridge, UK; but don't bother looking here or indeed, here coz those are no help whatever! Theoretically, the Edited Guide is giving you the really important factual and informative stuff here, but fortunately there's more to h2g2 than the EG!

Cambridge's Tourist Menace

How different crime literature could have been had Raymond Chandler been born in a different time and place:

The Mean Streets of Cambridge by Chrome 101

Finally, a little tale that probably contains some facts that may be true. This is a terrific read just for the mental image it conjures up.
