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

Just did a search for 'HMS Belfast' (nothing on that, either ) and discovered there's nothing in the Edited Guide about one of Britain's major cities.

Myself, I'd be more interested in one that told us what it's like to visit and what to do when you go there, rather than necessarily taking on the difficult job of covering the historical angle.

Although of course, if anyone fancied doing that as well, it'd be a bonus.

Or indeed that godawful Boney M song.

All I know is that its gun turrets are aimed at a service station on the M25 south!

A little bit to the north would be SO much more worthwhile...

Many happy memories, including the time me and my English accent walked slightly pissed out of a pub and straight splat into a startled squadie

I've never been to Ireland, though I had a proddy flatmate for a while, and I was going out with a Jesuit-educated former member of the British Occupying Forces as a lover at the same time, which was - er - interesting.

I lived there for 3 years during the early 90's and loved the place. I'm probably not the right person to do an entry as its so long ago, and the place has changed so much since. Demon Drawer might be just the person though, as he is from Northern Ireland.

Give me a chance. I'll see what I can do.

I've just an article on the River Lagan and having hte city at the mouth of the river would be a major advance.

That should be

I've just started an article....

Nice

OK i've started at A2835597

Editorial Note: This conversation has been moved from 'Challenge h2g2' to 'Belfast, Northern Ireland'.

Was there a couple of years ago and loved it. A great buzz about the city.
