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

Heya Z.

I noticed this Entry because I'm completing a similar one...A5849076 for this h2g2 Uni Project A5841498

Any chance you might be interested in finishing it off for the Project?

Hi MJ,

I've got a lot of info to sort through on this. I'm doing a Toastmasters speech on this subject on 11 October. Once that's out of the way, I'll look to finish this entry.

Just had a quick squizz of your entry, which looks very interesting, and the same stuff comes up again and again (see my entry A2354834 on munitions workers) - women are thought to be incapable of the work, mentally and physically. In the WASP, the women's safety record was better than the men's and two women were trained to fly the B-29 which had a reputation of being difficult so they could show the men that it was so easy, even a woman could fly it. The Enola Gay was a B-29. Did you listen to the soundbite - aren't the women's voices great!

It's brilliant These kind of women are why I wanted to start the h2g2 Uni Project.

Do you fancy having this Entry and yourself added to the Uni Project? I think it would be a nice company piece to the Nachthexen.

I don't want to put pressure on you to complete the Entry though. But the completion date for the Project is VERY provisional anyways

As you've probably gathered, this subject is one of particular interest to mee, too.

What's the completion date, MJ?

Well, I've sort of said early November, Armistace Day I think from memory. But this Project could be ongoing really...

Let me think about it, MJ. In principle, I'm fine with the idea of this being part of a University entry. My hesitation is about putting myself under undue pressure. I *should* be able to complete by 11 NOvember, although I'll be going on leave between now and then - and as I've said, the Toastmasters speech on this is my next must-do project.

Perhaps the best thing to do at the moment is to include me as a provisional?

Not a problem Z. What I'd love to do is link the WASPs to the Nachthexen at some point If that means a later Update through Editorial Feedback then that's cool

I'll add you and the entry as provisional though. No pressure though!

I'd also like to link to the Nachthexen (love the idea of night witches!).

Not done it yet - the speech went well, though - it's half-term next week and I'm off to Spain, so it will have to wait till I get back. Shouldn't take long to polish off, though - I have done loads of research!

Coolio! Have fun in Spain!

Hey Z. Sorry to pester, but we're nearing completion date for the Project. If the piece isn't ready, don't worry, we have enough as is But if you think you can squeak it together before the 7th, I'll push it in.

Hi MJ,

Not sure. I brought the papers downstairs - it's a start. I have a speech to prepare for the 8 November which has to take priority. I may get the chance to finish it, though - I have all my material to hand - it'll just take a bit of planning.

Don't worry too much
