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

Good luck with this laura

As mentioned by Whisky in the second post, you probably do need a brief description of 'meister for those not familiar with its wondrous properties

It's taste is what makes it I think, so you should mention that, along with the mule-like kick it gives you! You then have the option of dropping the link to the official website, as then people don't need to click on an external link to find out more

Regardless of that, I enjoyed reading the Entry very much

You've come across well, the style is chatty and fun, makes me want to try this neat little drink out. Which is what you were aiming for I hope

Entry: The Jägerbomb - A27238467

Take a sip

Hear, hear!

I think the German name for alcohol of this ilk is 'Kräuterbitter', and many people (mainly of the older generation) swear by it as a digestive. Another one would be Kümmerling, I think. Oh, and Underberg. In other words, it's a herbal schnaps.

Good article...

The Apprentice

oh Bella, I think most people just swear by Jager, much like this -

*drink shot*

"By "

I've added a brief description of t'Meister now and changed the link so it goes to wiki (which means it won't crash anyone's computer but it may well be full of complete codswollop thanks to "the unique way in which wikipedia works"!)

Don't throw that old link away - we may need it.

That's a nice description, it certainly took me like the proverbial teddy bear on my first try!

You could dispense with the link entirely. Why link to something which you've explained better anyway?

I have a funny feeling this Entry is not going to pass the picking stage, due to the word "bomb" in the title. I suggest change to The Flying Hirsch and mention in the Entry it's also known as The Jägerbomb.

Umlauts aren't allowed in titles due to the way they naff up the mobiles, or something.

>>>I have a funny feeling this Entry is not going to pass the picking stage, due to the word "bomb" in the title.

Erm, if A676352 can make it, I'm pretty sure a description of a cocktail shouldn't cause too many problems.

Erm, F8082583?thread=4522622 didn't make it

Odd, but there's no reason given on that thread yet - it might have disappeared for a completely different reason.

I'm sure there's no problem with the B-word in this entry, but I think Whisky's Entry would have had a far harder time if it was submitted after the London Tube bombings - you know how jumpy the BBC can be.

I bet it gets reviewed now that you've highlighted it.

"I bet it gets reviewed now that you've highlighted it."

Well, someone's yikesed it now!

We'll see what the eds have to say, after all, it went through PR the first time under full moderation, every time I made a change in PR it was hidden and referred _way_ up the chain before it appeared again...

At least the PR version's still there!

Oh dear, what silliness. Of course it's not going to be a problem with the title. Otherwise titles like V2 - Flying Bombs or Bath Bombs would be changed. It's not the word Bomb that is the problem with the Bomb Lab. It's the phrase Bomb Lab, that infers the making of bombs, and perhaps how to do that ie; a terrorists handbook. Let's not jump into the deep end about this eh? It's a great litle Entry

Although an addendum to he tile may be in order, as when I first read it I thought that you could be writing an Entry about some German weapon of the Second World War.

Perhaps something like;

The Jagerbomb - A Cocktail with a Bang

I would agree to adding 'cocktail' or 'the drink' after the title.

Aside from that, it's a find little entry on a drink I've seen other, younger people consume with vigour. Not my cup of tea however.



- Jimi X

Reminds me of a Flaming Dr Pepper, but I can't remember what you're supposed to drop in that one.

I'm sure I know a few people who could have good fun with this. Like Jimi, I'm not one of them. Fine Entry, none the less, though

And I like the "Cocktail with a Bang" bit.
