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

I don't think you should tell just yet. Maybe another clue? I went down the "Nick" route (Nick Leeson) but of the many, many "Nick" PS's I looked at, Robbie wasn't there.

But I don't think we should give up too easily. It's more fun to have to think about it.

Deb

You are on the right lines with Nick Leeson but it is not their names. There are others like him such as Jerome Kerviel and Yasuo Hamanaka. Robbie is hiding in a PS of a user whose h2g2 name is the description of the people named above.

Think about what they did for a living and what they became when they transgressed.

Ah, that's me out then, I've never even heard of those people.

Well, finally! He was with RogueTrader.

I've whisked him away to another PS where he's settled down with a good book to wait out this stage in his adventure.

And your clue is: Is he chasing coyotes or tilting at windmills?

Deb

Well done deb

I will stay out of this for a bit as I have already found Robbie! I must be on good form

t.

Ho Hum... In that case herre he is - http://h2g2.com/dna/h2g2/brunel/F2179846?thread=8289271 with Wile E Quixote (U1681502) Clue to follow if anyone is still playing. t.

I'm still here but usually tend to miss the posts for a few days.

Ouch, my eyes - Brunel!

Here's how to post a skin neutral link:

I like Brunel!

This researcher is planetary and is second in line for the hot ticket. Also an apparent relative of ~jwf~

t.

I know where he is but can't think of a place to hide him, so I'll wait to see if somebody else will find him.

OK, I know where he is too but Bel, have you thought of somewhere to hide him? I've had a couple of goes recently.

Deb

You claim the go, Deb..

What lil said. I tend to miss posts here, so I'm not a good choice to hide Robbie.

*giggles*

I knew where he was hidden, too... I just wanted someone else to have a go

Someone say, please! I'm on the edge of my seat...and I know where I left him

t.

OK, here he is, keeping safe with Venus

So he's settled in his new home. Unfortunately I hid him before I really thought about the clue to his whereabouts!

This is really terrible so I apologise in advance.

Depending on how you pronounce his second name, it sounds like he could a) lure cows; b) batter cows; or c) teach elocution lessons to cows.



And to the temporary host for abusing his/her name so terribly!

Deb

That sounds like a great clue. I have not the faintest idea.

Believe me, when you know you will groan. Three times.
