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

For all those who aren't subscribed to 'Ask h2g2' or the announcements, or who are subscribed but missed it:

there is a blog post about h2g2 having to undergo a 'MOT'.

I think it is important that all hootooers should post a comment there:

You'll have to 'sign up' - if I recall correctly (it's been a while since I did), you just confirm your hootoo account - or something.

I stuck a comment on there last night. You click on the link to activate yuor account or something, I dunno and then you can write your message.

I read your comment, pingu.

Cheers, prof.

comments will go in later B'El, it's mam's shortly and if I don't goit's clout round the ear time

That's fine, Prof, I'm sure the blog will be there for a while yet.

Well, if that young lady (or whoever sent her there as a scapegoat) reads the reactions that came in within just one night...instead of putting hootoo to sleep they might consider giving us a bit more support.

Let's hope for the best.

went to post a comment and it wouldn't enterI'll try again later

Thanks for posting the link here, B'Elana.

The commentary is amazing.

Yes, even Natalie commented.

Prof, open it in two tabs, write and post your comment and chack in the other tab after a moment (by refreshing) - you'll see that your comment is posted, although it does appear to still upload in the first tab (which you can then close once you see your post is there).

Some very interesting reading there.

Sorry, but what *is* MOT?

It's what is called TÜV in Germany. We have a guide entry about it here: A12921581

Oh, and KB: thanks for reading and commenting. I'm trying to raise as much awareness as I possibly can.

Thanks, B'El. I think it's what we call "technical checl" here in France.
I'm reading the posts on that blog page you put a link to, and will add my comment when I'm done.

Realistically, we're sunk. I've yet to hear of a -driven vehicle passing the MOT.

Well then we'll be a submarine
