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

Well ... fancy running into you here! Of all places. You are of course the much better of the now two Hobart historians registered so about time you showed up!

If you want to see some of the other history type offerings that have been put up their is a guy called Mustapha who manages the Historical Society Page ... follow to my home page (click on my name above) and the link is on their somewhere.

Good stuff on the de Vere's. I await more ....

Hello Bran,

Well, as you say, fancy meeting you here! Or what's a Dark Age specialist doing in an otherwise nice site like this? What great fun: thanks for introducing me. I had already been greeted to the site by Redbeard. In the normal course of events I intend to communicate with you by the more conventional means, but this is a useful way of traducing you!

Yes, I have had some fun here. I tend to go in fits and starts ... sometimes I look at the site regularly, but then leave off for a while. Depends on whether the PhD is boiling or merely simmering.

And what do you mean "wombat poo" for my Viking entry! I'll have you know that Shepherd gave it 80% as a tute paper. Actually, now that I think about it, that is not as great a prize as all that. Maybe it is wombat poo after all.

The editorial process can be a drag ... it has taken up to 15 weeks for entries to be approved. I sort of look at it as just a thing to do with entries that I would have put up anyway ... but there is that wee frisson of glee getting one up, even if ultimately it doesn't mean anything.

See ya
Bran.
