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

Hi there! I can see you are pooped after you exertions , so I'll do ver little more than put on some soothing music and offer you a nice cup of tea.

And welcome you to the guide, of course, as I am one of the volunteer ACEs, which basically means that I flit around greeting new researchers like yourself, spelling really badly in the process and helping out wherever I can.

To which end, if you have any questions, please do hit the reply button below and ask away. Or, if you want to get to my (or any other researcher's) homepage, you can click on my delightfully blue name above. Activating the 'discuss this entry' button there will allow you to talk of sailing ships and sealing wax and cabbages and kings, or whatever...

In the meantime, here are some links, which you are at perfect liberty to ignore, of course...

A really big guide to lots of the clubs, societies, gangs etc you can get involved in: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A270325

I hope you enjoy yourself here at h2g2. See you around, if not before!

Solnushka,

How very courteous of you to welcome me! I am most grateful. I'm just getting used to the feel of the place at the moment, so forgive me if I stay quiet and take the time to wander around and admire things.

Sooner or later I'll get round to something or other, but for now it is nice to rest!

Thank you again,

Bolivar.

Take all the time you want! It is a huge site really, but don't let that put you off.

I don't know that I have gotton around to anything particularly productive in all my time here, actually. But it is a great way to spend time!

And if you do have any questions or need a hand with something, do call...
