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

Hey Mike,

A much improved page since my last visit. Just one question. Why all the 'Macbeth' quotes? Are you doing it for your GCSEs or something?

I like the mouse disguise.

Necr

Yeah, it's been ages, hasn't it? I'd taken a fair amount of stuff off the page over the weekend actually.

We're doing Macbeth stuff for the English SATS...not sure which SATS in the english bit, but there's Macbeth in it. Been reading it for about six months or something, and the lines start to get into your head. It's Shakespeare's coolest play.
Check out me and my friends Macbeth spin-off: Locotr!

Asteroid Lil did the mouse picture...I like it very much

I played the lead in the school production of 'Macbeth' last year.

"If the assassination could trammel up the consequence, and catch in his surcease, success, then here but here upon this bank and shoal of time, we'd jump the life to come."

Magic stuff.

Necr

You play lead? Guitars are so cool, man

English SATS on monday...cool *^_^*

My brother has his SATs this week too.

The neck of the guitar kept getting in the way when I was stabbing Duncan and fighting on the castle battlements. Annoying, that.

Necr

lol

My SATS are over now. Tomorrow are my last exams, and I no longer have such a burden getting in the way of my social life . I can be human again.

Hope your bro did well.

He keeps telling us that he did.

I think I believe him.

It's a wonderful feeling when you finish your exams, isn't it?

Necr

Yeah, it is rocking.
But it's been a month since I did any serious schoolwork...monday is a quiet day anyway, how will I cope tomorrow? Quite well I suppose

I start my 'A' level study leave on Friday...Aaaaaarrgh!

Necr

Physics teacher started getting us worked up about GCSEs today. Suppose that by the time we get to them (and A levels) they won't seem so daunting, eh? *^_^*

Don't you believe it...

Necr

Aha, so they -will- be terrible stressing and nasty for me then.

Methinks I'll be giving up going on h2g2 for them...that's really gonna suck. But I guess I shouldn't fret about them yet (of course).

I'm not giving it up for my exams. I'm just taking a break from Subbing.

Necr

Ah yes, subbing. I'm trying to finish my current batch tonight, so I can fire it off and get a new one tomorrow. That'll have been 100 subbed entries by me, and how many have made it to the official guide so far? 13.
And, I've just sent off an email requesting modifications to official entries (and soon-to-be official). Yup, I am a very productive subbie!

Just sent off my second batch. However, It only actually took me two and a half hours to do. Quite quick, really.

Necr

Longest I've had a batch for is 12 days. Shortest is 9 hours. You can take 'em all out in a day if you have it in you. Subbing's really not that hard to do, most of the time. Occaisonaly you get one that takes longer than you want to work on, but there it is.

How long have you been a sub-editor for?

Two months and one day. Had two batches. The shortest I've had one for is three hours. Maximum.

I left the other for over a month, and then did it in two and a half hours.

How long you been subbing?

Necr

Same as you. I guess we were both in the latest recruitment batch. Shame you didn't go to the new crew party

Latest batch has come today...get this!
Two days ago (I think), I was passing comments to a German researcher over his first article what he'd writ and submitted. Telling him how great it was, and how it could be improved. Now I've been given it to sub. Wow
I've had four of my own entries, and had to reject an article from a good friend of mine. After I'd told her a good few times it could never be accepted. Then I got another one of her articles and accepted that (cos it was good).

Did you get one about Great British Politics? 'Cos if you did, it's mine. Not that I'm trying to put pressure on you or anything; if it could do with more improvements, then tell me and I'll do it.

Necr

Nah, not got that. Is it still in the queue?
