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

I'm not sure where it would fit (John Cleese?), but I think Fawlty Towers should at least be mentioned... I'd post this somewhere in particular, but I'm not sure where.

Don't worry - there'll certainly be a mention of Fawlty Towers in the John Cleese entry, although it could easily make an entry of its own. Don't suppose you fancy writing one? I'll include it in the project so it goes straight into the Guide...

*the grin-and-bear-it kind of sigh*

Figured you'd ask that... I'm not quite sure. Which are you asking me to write? I think Fawlty Towers would be great, but I don't know about its relevancy to "Monty Python" as a broad umbrella-topic. And I don't know about my own significance as a writer about Python, seeing as I am not nearly so involved, nor have the knowledge ya'll do.... I'm very interested, but not addicted.

So I suppose my answer is, I would write a Fawlty Towers entry (or whatever else needs delegation ), if you think that it fits well enough under the heading of Monty Python to be included. Or should I do it and submit it to Peer Review for an Edited link?

K?

You're right... I suppose it doesn't _really_ fit into the Python project. And I don't want to force anyone to write anything, honest... A Fawlty Towers entry should sail through Peer Review - I'm sure there are plenty of fans out there who'd offer helpful 'advice' I'm quite happy to write all the Python entries myself (sadly, I am an addict, but I try not to let it show too much ), unless there's anything in particular you want to write. The John Cleese entry? But, as I said, I don't want to force anyone (not that I can, but I don't want to feel like I'm forcing anyone, if you see what I mean... )

Hrm... I could do John Cleese... And have a gigantic section on Fawlty Towers ( --I've seen all the Fawly Towers, not nearly all the Python ). I mean, what are you including in the biographies of the people? I wish there was an example to look at .

*will do whatever Danny B wants*

*pauses*

Well, anything related the Python entry anyway.

So then, just tell me which would be more useful. I'll do either.


Shee

*will do whatever Danny B wants*

Such rash promises

Have a look at my Graham Chapman entry (A687954), which should give you some idea of what I'm aiming for with the biographies. If you still want to write a John Cleese entry, fantastic! If not, it _would_ be nice to have a Fawlty Towers entry to link to from the John Cleese page (and you sound like that's what you'd rather do anyway )

In fact, as you'll do whatever I want, I say 'write a Fawlty Towers entry, get it into Peer Review and I'll link to it from my John Cleese entry'.

OK..?

Danny B.

*laughs*

I know, I know... I thought about mentioning that, actually, but decided that if you didn't pick up on it
on your own, I wouldn't give you the means to figure it out.


*sighs*

I suppose I should do a Fawlty Towers entry... Just because I think I can write that better than a bio. Let me do it this way--I write a Fawlty Towers entry. It goes through Peer Review. If, by the time I am done with that entry, you still don't have someone for Cleese, I'll start on that.

Not quite what I want to do, but I think that that would work best....


Hrm... I liked your entry. One thing--could you put a link back to the University Project in the References box? At least until the Project is completed? (Will it ever be complete? ) Just a suggestion--it would make it easier for *my* navigation.


*wonders*
What to write now that I've agreed to an impossible task....

Great, I'm glad we've got that sorted out!

"could you put a link back to the University Project in the References box"

Good idea - I've done that for all the entries in the project so far

I am planning to finish the project (although I could probably write about Python for ever - sad, isn't it... ) I'll leave the Cleese entry until last, but if you're still busy with Fawlty Towers at that point, I reserve the right to write it myself!

*thinks*

I wonder how much time I give the other people who've volunteered before I start prodding them and asking them for entries..?

Hrm... How long has it been since the Project started? If it's been a month, you are *certainly* within your rights to start prodding... Three weeks even. Good luck making do what ya want them to!

Okay, so I get to go start a Fawlty Towers entry.. Yippee!

Nah, it's only been 2 weeks so far. They can all rest in peace for the moment

Good luck with Fawlty Towers - I look forward to it appearing in Peer Review

Oh you should prod me now.

Consider yourself prodded (Both here and over on the 'best bits' thread!)

In the interests of tidyness I shall confine my reaction as he who has just recieved a prodding to this thread....


You know what, it almost entirely slipped my mind...
Not entirely though

I got a bit distracted though- wanting to write a few entries on ozone layer. Shall start writing SOngs of Python in next two days though, I promise (will keep me sane as I crawl my way though the insane complexities of out planets atmoshpere), and will have it finished before I die (touch wood).

s tune from sit on my face.

Yes, sorry about the two threads thing (Arthur 'Two-threads' Jackson, anyone..? )

Don't worry about the article; it's another four weeks until the first (of many, no doubt ) deadline.

Oh, the Fawlty Towers entry is at A701894 (although I've noticed that I've been linked! )

I want to ask here too, to all 3 people who are subscribed --whatever happen to Zum letzten Kliff, the German version of Fawlty Towers that was announced in '01? That's the one last bit of info I would like to have before I can throw this one into Peer Review....

I'm afraid I can't help you with that one - I didn't even know they were planning a German Fawlty Towers. The mind boggles...

Erzaehlen den Deutsche nicht!

Warum denn nicht?
