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

Thanks for that. I haven't mentioned anything about their 'no encores' stance in live shows, now I come to think about it.

Thinking of their live shows. What about mentioning that Gedge always seemed to wear shorts on stage. I don't know if that was a long term trade mark, but he was always in them when I went to their gigs around 1989-1990.

David Gedge as a sex symbol? I suppose he wasn't bad looking (in a gruff kind of way) but did those shorts really help? Trainers, shorts and a long-sleeved t-shirt - not the archetypal vision of lovliness, is it? And as for his little bum wiggles during Kennedy ....

Consider it scouted.

Re Posting 19... Yesterday I put this entry on Bossel's ever growing list of shortlisted entries, but I've got that feeling down my neck I won't get the chance to recommend it, nor will it reach the bottom

You'll be glad to know that we think this entry is great, and it has now gone into the Editorial Process for future inclusion in the Edited Guide.

When it does get into the Edited Guide, we will email to let you know, but please bear in mind it can take a while for entries to go through the sub-editing system.

Coolio! And thanks very much to all who made suggestions. (Note to h2g2 Eds: if you're looking for another SubEd look no further than Zaphod - the two-headed one does a fine job.)

Editorial Note: This thread has been moved out of the Peer Review forum because this entry has now been recommended for the Edited Guide.

If they have not been along already, the Scout who recommended your entry will post here soon, to let you know what happens next. Meanwhile you can find out what will happen to your entry here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/SubEditors-Process

Congratulations!

I read about you wanting to become a sub-ed in the Weddoes thread - you have to apply at their official page, and there's probably a waiting list.

Nonethelesss, it's a good thing to wait for

Thanks Bossel.

Actually the bit about becoming a SubEd was for Zaphod (Usomethingorother) who has done stirling work helping me to proofread the Wedding Present entry.
