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

Right, so this is how it goes...

I love postcards. I have a whole load of them on the wall above my bed, from all sorts of places that I've been to and that I haven't been to (yet).
Now, seeing as the list of my h2g2-friends stretches pretty much around the globe, I got to thinking how cool it could be to make some sort of a 'h2g2 section' on my wall (or door, or somewhere, wherever I have room to put stuff).

So I have a request:
It would be really really great if you lot could each get a postcard - even a blank postcard if you don't feel like writing anything - of where you live, and send it over to:
P.O. Box two-four-one-six-eight, Jerusalem, Israel.


Of course, if you'd like a Jerusalem postcard in return, send me your address and there'll be one on the way swiftly.

The minute I find some, very preferrably of my specific locale, you can be sure some will be "winging" across the waters.

Unless you'd be satisfied with a Tim Horton's brochure?

Excellent idea. do you accept hand drawn ones, in waxy crayon?

on its way very shortly and a pleasure to send it

Ooh, shall I see if I can find a postcard of Canterbury that doesn't include a picture of the cathedral? It might take me a while...

you want a summery or a wintery landscape? (pretty much the only things they put on postcards in finland...)

"If you promise not to read the poststamp

NB there is an international competitition on the Front Page "

I have one of yours right in front of me even as we squeak!

I shall send you one of jolly old Angouleme ASAP, may have to wait till payday (6th) though, no idea how much postage is from France to Israel.

I could stick a little painting in too if you like?

What a wonderful Idea...I hope you have a large wall..Some cards will be on their way shortly..Our volcano!!..and one from our most,best,famous,biggest in the USA Book store-Powells..also has used books, It has" just growed,like Topsy"..When I would go there for used book for my kids, many years ago, one fourth the size it is now,old Mr. Powell, would always reduce the price,somewhat..even tho it takes up a full block, is 3 stories[part of the upper stories has drive up parking..]..because it used to be a car dealership building..!! has a big reading room serving coffee,ect...other rooms...You could get lost there...open 'til 11PM..Sunday & Holidays...Even tho it is big, It has charm........ .. .ginger ..

This sounds suspicious to me.

Good idea I'll see if I can find a postcard

Where's this competition then?

What sounds suspicious, the postcard idea, the competition or the bookstore?

zdt*obviously feeling very dim today*

Everything is suspicious! I think that Yael will use the postcards, give them to the Israeli government, and they'll use them as part of their invasion plans!

Undoubtidly. I'll try to hunt a postcard down when I'm back at my Fathers, beign a seaside town, I'm pretty sure it'l have some not sure if I'd be a able to find any for here

Oooh, yippee! I shall prepare myself for invasion, can you specify what sort of soldier you get?



zdt

Well I'm going to get a postcard of Washington and send that. They could do with an invasion!

I'll send a postcard only* if nighthoover sends me one

I just checked the store here at the Johnson Space Center... the only postcard they had was a picture of the Sun. Just doesn't seem to be the thing on which I'd want to write "wish you were here".

I'll stop by the souvenier shop at lunch off site at lunch.

phase one completed, on to phase two, stick stamp on forehead
