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

Hi Rosie. Tav has done a good job on tidying up the photo of your lovely cat. Do you mind if I give her the credit for the picture on the entry, rather than you?

Hi!

Not at all! She made an ok sort of photo into something quite spectacular!

Thanks!

Hi Rosie.

I'm doing the final polishing on your Yoga entry at A87754422.

I don't really understand the part in brackets in this:

Collect a mat and two blocks (holding them, one in each hand and then bending down, bring the floor a lot closer)

Is there something I'm missing, or did you mean to say something slightly different?

Gnomon

...probably...

out of context it does sound strange...

In any yoga class there are mats and 'blocks' readily available. The blocks are made out of a kind of polystyrene, look like a big brick and are an aid for bending and balancing - if that makes sense... You can hold them in your hand and bend forward to find the floor or just balance on them with your hands when the block is laid flat on the floor, thus bringing the floor closer to you...

do you want me to change it - but feel free to change it if you wish??

I think it would be clearer if we left the original wording but with "brings" instead of "bring". What do you think?

I agree...thanks

Thanks, Rosie, for writing this. It will probably be promoted on the Front Page on Monday 14th.

Gosh...

ps

I'm writing another - this time on skiing, sort of nearly done

Bear in mind there is already an entry on skiing: A179534

ok - didn't know that, just read it - it's good and mine may compliment what has already been said...?

- but that's for you guys to decide

That's a lovely picture of Elrond, Rosie. Thanks!

Thanks Gnomon, it was my pleasure!

Morning Gnoman!

I'm led to believe that you have written an entry about beef goulash *hears tummy rumbling*
And I have been given the task to a request for a photo from you, of said stew *mouth starts to salivate*
I don't suppose you have one in stock....or if not....d'you fancy cooking Goulash for your supper tonight??
I'll be round about 7


Email to the normal depository ....

Thank you

Ps...just realised I've spelt you name wrong....

Sorry........

Hi Rosie. Don't worry about the spelling of my name.

The trouble with the goulash recipe is that Mrs G is a vegetarian and the recipe is for 8 meat-eaters, so I rarely get to make it. We could be waiting months.

No problem....just thought I'd ask

You don't fancy running off a sketch of some Hungarian hairy horsemen gathered around a camp fire, with a pot of stew on the boil, do you?

Now there's an image worth pondering!!

*starts googling hairy horsemen themes*

Morning Gnomon! Long time no chat...

Tav has asked me to ask you about extra photos for the entry about Istanbul. The rumour is that you have more....could you, would you email them over if you wish to share?
Many thanks
