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

Certainly interested, for my own personal benefit, if not for that of the Entry

OK, bear with me. I've typed it all up before - now I need to find the file and tweak it into something guidish.

Very good indeed. I'd hate to steal some of the credit - why don't you chuck it into PR on its own, and see what people say?

If it's not deemed worthy to be Edited, I'll certainly include it here (by which time, I may have worked out what to do with this whole caboodle).

I think it'll attract the same controversy in PR that "Ben the Brunel Girl Doing it in a Tin" got for her mayonnaise anachronism!

I'd like to spend a little bit more time tarting it up ... some juice about the origin of the story (a meeting of minds, Nelson Mandela, an air-hostess called Mel ...)

It's in. My punt is that the first post is tongue-in-cheek from Spiff telling me to read the guidelines. Really laughing here.
