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

Hi FS,

I'm your sub ed for The Virginia Reel (disco) the new one is here A87802013 so don't forget to subscribe.

Just given it a quick read through. The instructions are very clear (heck even I know how to do si do)

Only the question at the mo, should it be mentioned that the men are on one side and the women on the other? In the 'Opening Moves' section, perhaps just after

'Both sides start by forming a line about 1 metre (or yard) apart,' men form one line, women form the other

Just a thought.

Other than that, I'm going to have me work cut out looking for linkys

I wish I had a partner dance with and try it out.

Good to see you on this Mags


>'Both sides start by forming a line about 1 metre (or yard) apart,' men form one line, women form the other


Good addition

The one other niggle I spotted is my own

>The two lines approach the centre of the floor

Should be the 'centre of the space between the lines.'

Obviously, if there are several lines only might be able to reach the 'centre of the floor'

I was *sure* I'd posted yesterday, mind you I was faffing about with several different things at the same time and I *was* in Pliny

What I was going to say was, I made those changes.

Also, I was wondering whether the Caller says the bits *after* the hyphen in the Opening Moves section and, if so, whether or not they should be italised to make then stand out a bit. I've done the first one, just as an example. If you like it then I can do all of them, if you don't I can remove it in a trice.

Mags

The caller says both sides of the instruction, the first tells who should do the move, the second half what move to do., perhaps both sides should be in italics?

I also noticed that, at least once I changed from a hyphen to full stop ('Head couple only. ') We should probably make them all consistant.

Thanks

F S

(cool)

I've added those italics and changed that pesky comma to a dash

I'll have a scout about and look and see if I can find any linkys, but I'm not that hopeful.

Mags

I couldn't find any additional linkys for this and I really tried to find *something* at least.

If you're happy with this, then so am I

Might be appropriate in the sidebar, I remember one of the comments in PR mentioned a school dance.

If you want to add either of these that is fine, otherwise push the shiny button.
