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

If you need any more help, i'll gladly volunteer

Oh, yes, we always do.

I'm not quite sure what happens next - I can log on here, but haven't got any email access at the moment, so I am no sure where my fellow editors are right now. I know there have been a few glitches in RL for some of us recently.

In the meantime, while we wait for the grownups to come along, pull up a stool and tell us about yourself.

*thinks*

*how to get the ball rolling?*

*hmmm.....*

What is your most memorable experience with cheese?

Ben

Cheese, Good question I must buy about 4 different kinds of cheese a week. I'd have to say the most memorable ...
*pauses for deep thought*
hmmm it'd have to be when my girlfriend returned from france with loads (i mean loads) of really odd cheeses, although i got sick of them after a few weeks.

Are you British? Are you voting next week? I've been asking every body that recently

Gosh I hope I'm not the grownup...

Well, while, we're at, it, let's give you the whole questionaire...

How many grapes can you have in your mouth at one time?
Your opinion about sheep?
Are you allergic to shellfish?

<./>UnderGuide</.> Editor

(I'll be back soon with some information. If I forget, please do scream at me )

ah this is my first election im looking forward to voting lol (im sad)

Ok first of all the shellfish... no but ive been vegi for over 10 years so i spose it doesnt matter.

Sheep well theres a saying up here about aberdonians (which i am not one of they live 70 miles north) I am from angus, where there are alot of Cows and sheep, i hardly see any, too busy to visit school chums now im at university

Grapes ummm id say about 15-20 ill come back with an acurate answer later.

Anyway, i have to go drown my sorrows (My football team lost )

Still waiting on that grape answer , but looks very promising.
Now to business. (and that wasn't a toast, but you can drink to it if you would like)

The first thing to do is to get into the Alternative Writing Workshop <./>RF5</.>. Comment on some entries, and start grooving to whatever tunes you find in there. There is some great stuff in there, and with a little persistence, you'll find real gems.

The second task is to familiarize yourself with the UG scheme. Usually, I send people to the <./>UnderGuide</.> page to start to sink their teeth into the meat of the UnderGuide. A few good entries to look through are A1092539 and the pages linked from it at the top. They give a general job description.

There are two rules to which all miners must adhere-
1- Don't take yourself too seriously.
2- See number one.

When you're comfortable and you understand the general idea of the UG, let me know and I'll give you the keys into the offsite group and your imaginary office (well, imaginary cubicle... you'll get an imaginary office when you've proved yourself ).

I think that's it from me. Any questions?

no questions at all really, i've pretty much got the jist of the AWW, ive been comenting and reading for a few days now. I'll get back once i've read all the other stuff.

Terrific!
The AWW really is the soul of the UnderGuide, so once you're comfortable with that, you're definitely starting off on the right foot.

Ok i think i have the hang of it all, as i said ive been looking at this stuff for a few days and i've read all the guidelines.

Ok, send an email to two addresses - underguideeditors at hotmail dot com and jodantaylor at gmail dot com. (I check the latter regularly, but I'm lazy, so the other eds can get your address if with the other address if I forget) Then we'll send you an invite to the UG Yahoo! group, and you can begin the good work.

Ok i did that but it wouldn't send to underguideeditors at hotmail dot com it said that adress didnt exist. Is the address youve given me correct.

I believe so. But no worries, I got the email on my account and I'm currently sending you an invite.

But how many grapes....? Does it make a difference whether they are red or green? Interested people want to know. I think we should be *told*

And yes - I am going to vote. It is important, and it is something worth being excited about.

Ben

I guess that we'll find out with limes at the initiation ceremony


(not a UK voter, but interested to see how it turns out)

ok foutreen grapes, i ran out of grapes after that but i was full at the time so ill say at a push 15, and they were green.
