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

*raises hat* Sorry to alarm you, but could you have a look at http://www.h2g2.com/U158938 and see if maybe, just maybe you could be of some assistance? Thanks, I'll get me coat. *leaves in something of a hurry*

LOL.

I know this woman very well. She worked in my office for a long time, since as you may recall I'm at the BBC as well. And a very nice high-speed connection they've furnished me with, too.

She's a lovely person and if you can help her out, I'm sure it'll lead to something interesting.

You mean she did all that and didn't tell you about it?
*searches memory to try and establish whether he knew Spiny worked for the BBC*
*fails*

Sorry for not answering sooner, I've been off dispensing justice in her Majesty's courts.

She didn't know I was an h2g2 researcher, and this thing has only slowly been coming together. It was when she saw my photograph on the Scottish meet page that she realised with a shock that she knew one of the towel-clad people standing in front of the Scott monument. So we've been talking since I got back to work, and what she's up to looks pretty interesting, so I'd urge you to get involved if you can.
