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

So which one of you is going to be a darling and give The Post a run-down of the upcoming World Cup?

We will have editions on 15th and 29th June and 13th July plus 1st June for anyone who wants to write a forecast/rant...

Hmmm. I think I'm too partisan to do it effectively...

I'm neutral and could do a good job of it.

*dusts of PR badge*

Naughty Shazz to think we're all boys!

I'll have a think about what I might be able to contribute .

I will be writing up Eurovision, as usual, which will drain my creative skills for a few months.

B

Oops

Just using a tried and tested advertising technique to get everyone's attention, Amy. Something from the female perspective would be great!

DD - if you think that you can do something then that would be excellent. Don't worry about being too neutral - it hasn't ever stopped me. I shall, as is usual for me now, be swapping strips depending on the match.

B - I take it that is a subtle reply to my plea in another place?

shazz

Ain't seen that yet...

B

A visit to your somewhat bare home space may help B

shazz

I'd somehow managed to unsubscribe from that.

B

I'll rattle off a couple of build up pieces between now and the start of the tournament for you then Shazz.

Great stuff - thanks DD

I'd like to write something about the managers. An ant's view from the dugout. Keeping my antennae to the ground, etc. I'm hoping it might be funny but these things can never be guaranteed, of course.

That's a nice idea. I might try and write something a bit off-the-wall in that case.

B

If England come second in the group, I'll be watching the second round game (possibly against Germany) in Edinburgh. That might be interesting...

It's guaranteed to be against Germany, isn't it, really?

B

Well, yeah. That should make for an interesting story...

Isn't Edinburgh full of English folk anyway? Now, watching it in Glasgow would be interesting...

Well, I would like to come out of it alive...

I'm sure you would. If you were quiet..

Anyway, if it's the Germans you'd get some sympathy after the penalties

All and anything would be most welcome - especially on the lighter side - and match reports from actual attendees (who survive) are certainly encouraged.
