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

So will post here instead

I am really enjoying all your contributions to h2g2 and The Post and firstly wanted to say a big thank you.

Secondly, you have provided us with enough great material to qualify for a Post Badge on your personal space - I will arrange this very soon.

Are you intending sending items in regularly? If so, it would be better for us to create an Archive for you. That way, admirers of your work - Pinniped, for example, could easily find it all.

Let me know if you are interested because I could also commission a personalised header picture to go on all your work. I think our artists could have a good choice between 'useless hound' and 'boots'

Wow. You've made my day. What with Pin's great 'seven years on' piece and yet another dreaded thud of the post to the floor this morning was considering tying my lead to both the kennel and round my neck and running rapidly in circles. Feel greatly honoured and deeply unworthy.
Thanks Shazz.
Hugely nice to have own logo, though I don't mind being thought of as a yellow spotty fish...Boots is taken from Kipling's book 'Thy servant a dog' (I'm sure you guessed).
h2g2 is a great site and I would love to send in more bits. If it wasn't for this site I am sure many of us would have been crushed in spirit and rejection slips.
Take care

So pleased to have saved you from 'going to the s' then.

Good old Rudyard? Of course. I wonder if the CAT (Community Artists Team) could manage a haggard dog - something like Henry the Bloodhound (Clement Freud's dog) standing on hind legs wearing army boots and a waiters pinnie/butlers uniform?!

How cool is that! Ravager's birthday tomorrow so have just been out on the annual retail therapy trip. Bit of day job now and then more fun!
By the way the emails don't appear to be coming through...never did trust little boxes.
Take care

Have just been informed by someone who shops that it should read jimmy not Tommy choo on the shoe front in the school run...hope you have time to edit!
Take care

Sure - I'll make sure it is amended.

Your badge has arrived, but you can only see it in brunel skin... so if you click on this link you should see it in the top right corner of your space.

Still trying to get hold of an artist for you, but in the meantime how do you fancy 'Doghouse Tails' as a collective title for your Post articles?

I'll create an archive with that title for the moment, but do please tell me if you want it changed.

shazz

Cool, sounds good. Thanks Shazz
By the way still not sure if I am posting correctly but would say that I do update edits on the posts sent to AWW so that is probably the best source to use. Am really sloppy on the comma/spelling/how many times I use each word...in fact just about everything front, but hugely appreciate the time and encouragement you afford this old dog!
Take care

Yes, the emails arrive fine but my replies always seem to be returned for some bizarre reason - obviously my email server doesn't like talking to your email server!

The attachments are fine

shazz - who got a little carried away prepping the special edition and hasn't made it to bed

*waves to Amy* Hi Amy

*excited whisper - that's one of the Art Team keeping an eye on us Boots! *

shazz

tee hee!

*waves* sharpens a pencil*

You look diferent, is that a new wig? Do I cancel the order for the boots? Why has my graphics app just crashed on me? Should I have a now? Who are those men in the white coats? Will they be nice to me?

Well, seeing as I appear to almost on top of things here I'll make a start on creating your archive then Boots - if you're happy with Doghouse Tails

What I'll do is rename each of them to reflect your 'new' status as a regular writer and make the 'original' title as a subheader at the top - just below where you're wonderful graphic will appear at a later date. I'll leave the Spotty Fish for the moment - also a creation of the very talented Amy btw

So, don't panic if things on your page start to change before your eyes!

Have a or three Amy - you deserve it!

shazz

Lots of happy wag tails.
take care all of you
Boots

Archives and article updates all done now

shazz

Woof! Feel as if I've just won Crufts...thank you.
take care
