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

Should we see them, or should they stay hidden?

If they do show themselves, what will they look like?

A caretaker?
A pizza delivery person?
A popular singer?

Or will we just think they're pretty seedy?

Let's try to hunt down just one of them.

Who? Doing what?

This is my first QI. The number of s that I've come up with makes me worry about myself.

Remember - Google is Not Your Friend.

Feindish or what hd???

A dozen roads to go down, and a klaxon at every turn.......



GT

Not....every turn.

Off-worlders, aliens as per Men in Black

Girl/boyfriends of Royals? Should we protect their private lives from the media or say it's all part of the job?

Please please please don't have klaxoned that - the few DGI points I've got so far aren't covering my back...

As one of the great 20th century philosophers was wont to say "Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start"

The Windsor Swing.

Anything to do with Eton and boating? More of a pull than a swing but immortalised in the old song
"Let's all pull together as merrily on we float.
For we're all on the same damn river,
and we're all in the same sodding boat."

Its the Swing I cannot connect. I can see tie knots and soup but the only connection to swing would be a 1930's ultra trendy hangman!

I'll be back.

Rod - Not aliens

Vip - a less kind person than me would have klaxonned you. You escape by the skin of your teeth.

Pebblederook - Not Eton, not boating, and, oh dear
tie knots

Yaaaaaay bring on Taff, Up and running.

Something to do with food - seedy as in seedy cake?

No, nothing to do with food, Teasswill.

I am going to resist the temptation to carry on with Barbara if only because the new light that may be thrown on "Should we see them, or should they stay hidden?"

Now I am thinking flowers, perhaps varieties named Harold Pinter Domino or Pavarotti (that's a giant sunflower!)

I don't think flowers should stay hidden, do you?

I didn't think of klaxonning Babs, or soup. Perhaps I'm not such a bad person after all.

Isn't a Windsor knot a way to tie a necktie?

Sorry toybox. I klaxonned that in post 7, so I guess I'll have to do it again

tie knots -5

Oh no

I should have read the backlog

Change of tack.

Is this related to the extremely private Christmas celebrations of our dear Royal Family which is rumoured to include a fancy dress party (and take away pizza's?)

Nope. And you are skating so close to a klaxon there. But I let Vip get away with it earlier, so I'd best be consistent.
