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

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F57153?thread=8136292 Hello your comments would be welcome prior to PR incase of any gaffs errors or it may be tough going to read. Ta Bob If you have time

hI bOB,

hAVEN'T GOT BEYOND THE 1ST PARA YET, BUT i'VE NOTICED THIS:
for shouting)

Title says VIII Legion (i.e. 8th!), whereas on the 1st line you say it was the 9th Legion - which I know it to be, but give Roman numerals VIIII. (it should be IX)

I'll go back to reading it now .

PS I recall reading 'The Eagle of the IXth' when I was a kid. Can't recall the auhor off-hand except that I know he's famous for his historical novels. Was it Henry Treece?

I remember in art we had tto make a drawing entitled 'Eagles', so mine was the Standard Bearer for the IXth Legion. I was commended for my imagination. First and only time this ever happened to me in 'Art'

I've skimmed it quickly, Bob. It is interesting and well-structured and apart from that already mentioned, I can't see any obvious gaffes .

Somnetimes you mention 'Ninth' in words and at others you use the (incorrect) Roman numerals. If I was you I'd standardise on the Roman numeral (IXth)

with this. I may give it a proper read later.

Thanks for the interest

The title says VIII Legion (i.e. 8th!), whereas on the 1st line you say it was the 9th Legion - which I know it to be, I will sort that

Roman numerals VIIII. (it should be IX) well yes.

But they called themselves VIIII so I decided to go with the original, this tile photo took some finding but it interesting

"But they called themselves VIIII so I decided to go with the original, this tile photo took some finding but it interesting"

Bob, fair 'nuff. But I would make a comment to this effect, perhaps as a footnote . (Maybe it was a deliberate idiosyncracy onm the behalf of the 9th Legion )

All Done

Ps; I wrote this to try and popularise H2G2 people interested in the film might want to know more. The title might need a change to catch searches suggestions please.

I hope there is not too much wrong with it I had the idea 3 to 4 days ago and started from scratch.

Any more comments or is it ok for PR
