Abi's Community Column
Created | Updated Sep 10, 2002
Welcome to yet another Community Column; your guide to the Deputy
Community Editor's favourite places on h2g2!
Community Choice
After the success of the Easter Egg Hunt, we bring news of
another great Community Event; the HooToo Pub
Crawl. If you feel inclined to spend time in some of the best virtual
hostelries on site, the pub crawl will start at 1500 GMT April 6, 2002.
Musicians' Guild is back and it's under
new management! So if you are musical, then why not join one of h2g2's
stalwart societies.
My 5 Favourite Edited Entries
When I saw Ammonites and Mennonites becoming part of the Edited Guide just days
after each other, I assumed they were similar. I could not have been more
wrong, but they are both great entries!I have a family history of high blood pressure and having to use this
country's crumbling transport infrastructure is just making it worse. Measuring Blood Pressure is a clear and concise guide
to what happens when the nurse puts the inflatable cuff round your arm and
starts to squeeze the rubber bell.Written by one of the rising stars of the Editorial Team, 'The Exorcist' The Film is your ultimate guide to one
of the 20th century's most notorious films.I have chosen How to Look after Cut
Flowers because it is an excellent explanation on how to keep flowers
fresh (and the boyfriend might get the hint).
Ask h2g2
Here are some of the conversations on Ask
h2g2 that have kept me amused this week:
One of our American Researchers asked the question 'Who is Blair?', to which another
Researcher asked 'Who is Bush?'. This conversation will inform you of
exactly what the Community thinks of the state of British politics.What constitutes
unfaithfulness? Does it have to be a physical act or is the act of
sending an email and stating intentions a betrayal of your partner? This
conversation is a look at this most sensitive of subjects.Have you ever used a chat-up line? Has it worked or did you retreat
back to your corner in with your head down low. The Community are pooling
their Best Pulling lines in order
to increase their chances of success down the disco. Why not add
yours?My personal favourite is without a doubt Help! My cat has (1) swallowed a cantaloupe or
(2) got knocked up. Am I supposed to tear up the bed sheets and boil water,
or what?. The title says it all!
