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

Very very good I enjoyed reading it.

I still want to know how that "compass and iron" problem was solved though...

If I find out, I'll let you know.

Gooday again, Bluebottle,

What a great piece! Give us some more on whatever takes your fancy.

Walter.

Thanks for dropping by and reading, Walter.
Never fear - I sure will write more.

And incidently, I have just re-written much of this article.
So, what do you think of the improvements?

Gooday Bluebottle,

A great read, super research; really enjoyed it. It occurred to me that Isambard Kingdom Brunel would have to be a great subject for an entry. Ships, railways, bridges - he was an engineering genius. Take care,

Walter.

Very true - he did have quite an enigmatic mind which people on h2g2 would probably appreciate.

Anyway, I said I'd tell you when I found out about the ironship/compass problem, and I have - it's in the first footnote on the re-written article.
