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

That would be tiocfaidh, as in A55545348 below last header (Tucket).

Are we allowed to use foreign languages here?

let's hope that we're allowed to use the odd phrase or two instead of translating everything (especially when in a conversation when just about everyone knows what it means)

Oh, Danny boy...

muscal note? the sound of flies? the odour of mice?

Wildly off-topic, but since we're there anyway...

What's the point of saying "translate it, so the mods know it's unobjectionable?" If someone's going to use another language to play mod-dodging in the first place, why is it more reliable to trust their English translation (if you're a moderator who doesn't understand the forrin) than to trust that whatever they said in the other language was ok?

Moi, je m'en fous.

Me neither

Nor me, about the issue. But I find it interesting trying to follow the logic.

There are analogies to The Great End With A Song Incident.

There I seemingly offended people (well - person) because they couldn't see what my YouTube links where, and I wouldn't spell it out (It would have spoiled the surprise!). But as far as I was concerned - they were only h2g2 posts. It's simply not *important* to see everything on h2g2 - least of all my posts.

So you don't get something in furrin? Big deal. But it might be something rude! Big deal. You didn't understand it.

Go for it!

TRiG.

Just had a 'oui oui'. It was very agreeable

Well...I've been offered free supervision on a 'We'd like this person to do a PhD at our university' basis.

brilliant

I'm pleased for you
