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

Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the wonderful site of H2G2 (otherwise known as hootoo - you will see this word a lot). This is not an automated message, I am an <./>ACE</.>, and I'm here to help you settle into your new home

H2G2 is a living, breathing guide to Life, the Universe and Everything. Take a look in here: <./>info</.>. It's something YOU can take part in. You can write entries on all manner of subjects, and if it's something you think would look good in our Edited Guide (where all the best research goes), you can submit it to Peer Review. Take a look at the <./>writing-guidelines</.> for more information on that

I've created a little list of links, just for you, so click on A4992357 and have a look at them (actually the links are my daughter's... but, hey Hootoo is one big family!)

If you click on each link, they will take you to parts of hootoo no sane person should ever go alone on this site.....

......but, as it seems no one here is sane, it doesn't matter does it?

Have a look around, pop into my personal space and read some conversations that I have on the go at the moment and you will see how things work. Don't be frightened to jump in on conversations, hootooers don't bite. (Well, some of them do. Just be aware of the thread you are reading and whether or not it "appears" to be a private conversation between two people.) However, if you wish to chat with one of them, click on their name tag and leave a message in their Personal Space.

You could drop a line here too!: A8669640 - Talking Heads of h2g2, where you might find some of your future friends

Remember, if you get lost shout for help and, hopefully, I'll be around to give you a helping hand. In case I'm not around, just leave a message here <./>ACE</.> and someone will be with you just as soon as they can. Failing that, just click on MY SPACE on the left hand side of your screen and you'll get back to your personal space.

Remember, I'm here to help.

Hi Lil
Thanks so much for the welcome. I'm currently updating my personal page, but inthe meantime I'll introduce myself - I'm here at the Beeb to help do a little editing, subbing and generally to lend a helping hand.
It's my first time on Hootoo so bear with me!
Again, cheers for the proper welcome, much appreciated by a newbie like myself

How wonderful!!

It's so good to have a new Italic, even if you haven't been given your badge yet... *nudges Sam*


If you want to know 'anything' about Hootoo.. just ask, and I'll get someone who knows the answer, but I probably won't!

Oh, and if you suddenly find your fingers refusing to hit the right buttons, blame it on lilitis

I look forward to chatting with you, once you have settled in and have a chance to wander the threads a little

Hello! Glad to have another Italic around.

We look forward to seeing yoou around the site! As lil says, don't worry about asking questions, we're a friendly bunch.

And if anything else happens wrong, blame 2legs

Welcome! Have a mufflewhump

If only to echo someone else...
A mufflewhump?
This is all so NEW!

Kewl!! A mufflewhump on your first day!


*checks her three are still under her Matt*

The definition's at the bottom of my Personal Space (Above the seriously out-of-date calendar...)

Welcome Geruda

Amy, I'm seriously envious. I was here years before I had a mufflewhump

Seriously, this site is ... something else. Do jump in - but worry. Some of us did and will soon have sumped around for 10 years.

(wait - that's today )

Oh lil, my dear friend,

I thought that the term "hootoo" had gone out of the window. !!

I must prefer h2g2 - and I am sure that DNA also did.

Otherwise what a nice person to have as an ACE Garuda Chris." We are both very lucky. !!

All is gentle on the home front lil. A tremendous thank you to all who have been thinking good thoughts for the difficult days.

Christiane.

So very sowweee, Christiane. It sort of just slipped out

Good to know you and K are settling down again

Hi lil!!

Naturally you are forgiven.

But I feel quite obsessed about it!. I just think that h2g2 is such a brilliant mixture of both language and science with the life giving oxygen being given by all the researchers.!

That is why I actually love using it.

Much affection

Well, to be fair, Santra, you were here for years before I was (or, more to the point, Pod was, since he's the one that discovered/invented mufflewhumps)

Well now I know the complete(ish) history and provenance of these here mufflwhumps, I'm genuinely chuffed.
But do I drop the 'Hootoo'?
The decision, of course, lies with you!

Whichever you are comfortable with, Jonesy

I really must get Moonhogg to send in the photo we took of Hootoo Railway Station in the summer

Really, we did! Even asked permission too!
