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

Slacker.

I have a lot on my plate right now - and I'm not talking nammet.

<BB<

Nammet?

An Isle of Wight term for a meal that contains "no meat", ie lunch.

<BB<

I've got a ham and cheese sandwhich for lunch.

Want to split it?

Thanks for the offer - but maybe next-time.

So, what is your favourite, most Pennsylvania-like, graphic?

<BB<

One of the photos from the Hershey series maybe? (if it won't cause too many problems since they're user-submitted photos)

But I'm rather fond of the Groundhog Day graphic too. (B219861)

I'll have a look through and find a suitable one.

<BB<

Most of the Pennsylvania entries didn't make it as Editor's Choice selections, so good luck finding a good graphic.

I like the Hershey Trusts one with the flowers and Hershey's mansion in the background.

But I reckon any will do...

Only one of the Isle of Wight ones has had its own graphic - that of the seaplane flying overhead for my "Aircraft of The Isle Of Wight" project, although I did have a couple of photos of piers as well... So I know the feeling.

<BB<

They ought to be forced to make somebody's entry an Editor's Pick after every 30 that they do or something...

Or not.

I don't see why they shouldn't - I definately think that they should try and draw a graphic for University Projects. Sadly, they always seem to be neglected - and not just my own. A few people read the first page, but you never see comments on the middle pages.

<BB<

Sometimes I think it would be interesting to see how many page views a particular entry of mine receives...

Other times I'm afraid I already know the answer.

Though I've moved next-door as it were - my second entry on Delaware should be going live in a few weeks. It's a belly-bursting good yarn about a seafood house. Perhaps *that* will be art worthy.

Though I've noticed a change in the style of the art lately. Or perhaps I'm just going bonkers?

I too have moved "next door", and have been on the Mainland for some time now, alas, but hope to be back on the Island as soon as possible.
Hopefully I'll get the article ready for this week's post, but the Bikini Competition is the main priority at the moment.

It might be me, but it seems that the artwork is getting more serious and less jokey... Is that what you had thought?

<BB<

The style seems different somehow...

And Cynthia (Spirit) is no longer listed on the h2g2 Team page. Perhaps she was assimilated into the BBC's art department?

Stranger things have happened...

<BB<

BTW - I've done the Pennsylvania bit, so let me know what you think: A662186

<BB<

Looks good! Though it's a lot more that I expected...

I hope somebody reads it.

The only quibble I'd have is to fix the *very* bit in one of the blockquotes - instead of enclosing it with '*' could you simply unitalicise the 'very'?

I have done. It'll appear in this week's post, if Shazz is feeling well enough.

Thanks again for your help!
