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

Yeah well it's maybe seen as Scottish Kitch but we don't seem to have a campaign for anything online at the moment - apart from meetups

Hey Nutn against them of course - honest !!

Some of the daft things folk want a smiley for are really weird and as a fan of real haggis I wondered if others felt the same and wanted an online variant?

OK I'm a fan of smileys anyway



The first time I had any real haggis was camping at Abiemore in the 60s and I managed to get the last one in the shop since I enjoyed it so much. When i got back to glasgow my mum had a fit of the giggles cos of course you could get it in any butcher there too. It was good tho.

Well, it hasn't happened yet.

Hi David

yeah it doesn't work as quick as that. This is after all a BBC site and the admin folk - called the italics for some reason have to have a meeting or two and decide if it's on then someone has to design it.

If you browse the smiley page and its various letter forums you'll get the idea.

But...d'you think we could get them to do a and a to distinguish us Lowlanders frae the Highlanders (there can be only one)!!!????
Never used to like haggis.....until I moved to nodnoL....much the same with Irn Bru. Tis amazing what the homesickness can do fur a person....

But haggis have two long legs and two short ones. So they can run around the steep hills. I was told this by a tour guide of Americans on Loch Lomond, so it must be right Just beside the haggis factory chutes.

No No No No.
Haggiggi are two legger craturs. One leg always longer than t'other, but there is the longlegged variety which live in Highlands....the long leg is MUCH longer to cope with the steep hills. The shorter legged variety live in areas of lower hills, and their longer leg is relatively short...though still longer than the short leg.
Of course, you don't see them very often as there are few who have worked out how to get DOWN a hill after reaching the top. They are really not much good for hunting as a sport..

My Gran told me all this, and as she spent her life in the foothills of the Ochils, I think she knows better than any tourist guide.....

Don't be rediculous guys they have three legs the third one is there for balance on the highland passes or triping up sassanachs in the lowlands. Get it right or the italics will think we don't know what we are talking aboot.



Nope no sign of any scottish smileys yet.

I'll just go find an Italic.

Now where'd they get an idea like that?....You been snitching on us??

Maybe we should ask for a smilie haggis after it has been de-legged and shaved for the table. I doubt even an expert could tell the difference once that's been done.

-- David (Join a cause, any cause! Raaarrrr!)

don't try Pegasus, it's not a pretty sight.

Um, DD... that third leg they have isn't actually a leg.

I wanna smiley! I don't care what it looks like, as long as it's . Hey, what about an Irn Bru one?

Bit of a copyright problem there I suspect. How about ?

If'n they can put bubbles innit it'd be perfick.... To you all
Oh...hang on, that's a rather 80's pop fad innit?

*hic*

I reckon we should start a new society, whadaya reckon?
