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

You are so right in saying that an Irish person will get very annoyed by the mention of leprechans. English people make smarmy comments about them, impersenating an irish person in a dreadful stereotypical accent.

By the way the picture at the top is not a leprechan, its a hobbit!

Grandad Ugg

(Take this light-heartedly, it is meant to support the section about Irish myth)

I think you are somewhat right about the picture being a hobbit, granddad. But the skin colour? I wonder what's in that pipe?

Could any of you guys tell me the enlish word for a klabauterman/clabouwtermann (or however it may be spelled). You know, the kind of leprechaun/elf/troll/nisse that lives as a stoweaway on ships (and leaves before it sinks)?

That's a rat!

Sorry about the picture Grandad Ugg... it was, unfortunately, the only one available at the time.
Maybe if this piece gets into the Guide officially they may give us a real leprechaun

Nice try, granddad, but I know a rat when I smell one

But Granda Ugg
it can't be a hobbit because Hobbits have very hairy toes and this one is wearing really ugly yellow socks.

in fact, the only people I've ever seen whos dress sense is even approaching that bad are them politician persons who proport to run the country.

alliteration much!
