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

Espharoth will be only too happy to pull the float - especially in the purple and gold colours which are, after all, her own!
(See portrait on Bagheera's PS - I've eventually figures out how to translate the code number into a logo!!!!)
I wield a pretty mean paintbrush myself, by the way

This float is finished! I suggest we start it going as a thread on the Campsite. If someone wants to set up an individual page for it, they can feel free, but I'm happy with what we have.

The parade is started! Come and post at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/classic/F45817?thread=165087&post=1711591#p1711591

Thanx everyone !!! I am pretty sure this is a first. Krewe of H2G2 Mardi Gras Parade

Hopefully, it won't be the last, either.

it is going great, what a good idea!

*cleaning and putting away the Mardi Gras trinkets and beads*
*fluffing cushions and the cat* okay maybe not the cat...she is self cleaning.

*Puts tools back in toolbox, replaces paint pot lids and cleans brushes.*

Would you like some and ?

and there's fresh-brewed with semlor ready on Pitch 7 <

That and semlor sounds really tempting. Especially after picking up all the extra beads and trinkets, sweeping and cleaning.

could i have a ?

...that is if you have any around

Home-brewed not ready yet
*Offers foaming tankard of home-brew instead*

*accepts and to Bagheera*

indeed, and a toast: to a successful parade!

Bagheera, I read your article about recycling batteries. Nice work. I never realized how detrimental they were. Only how much of a nuisance...

How is everyone? Any news?

I'm fine, although I doubt that would fall under the heading of 'news'.

Glad to hear you are fine Bob.
And, whether or not it is news would depend on how you are the majority of the time........
{sorry sarcasm runs rampant on Dad's side of the family}

What are you up to these days? I am fed up with the computers at work that disavow our inventory database whenever they feel like it. Other than that life is okay.

Hi Evangeline, Bagheera butting in
Glad you liked the Batteries posting, the project has created a lot of interest recently in the UK and I'm starting to get some hopeful signals that something just might be getting started to tackle the problem: hopefully more soon
I'm currently working hard at putting together a more detailed overview which will be published both on h2g2 and on the 360 Site when I'm happy with it.
Much of the material I have accrued to date needs translating (French and Swedish, mostly) so this slows me down a bit. A week or so should do it: I have a number of phone/face-to-face meetings coming up regarding plans, and a full time [RL] job which insists on interfering every once in a while . . .
My 8-y-o daughter Siobhàn ( and her 'steady' for the last two years, Liam!) have just discovered the existence of the h2g2 Site - I shall have to keep an eye on them in future when they ask if they can play games on the PC!
I am asked to send a and a from them to everyone!
