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

Recently you contributed to a Topic of the Week about the Great Fire of London.

It's just been put into Peer Review where it will spend some time being checked over by other members of h2g2 before hopefully it will be picked and entered into the Edited Guide!

I hope that you'll take a few minutes to come and comment on the PR thread - F48874?thread=615676

Otherwise you should get an email when it gets onto the Front Page, and you should see that the entry has appeared on the bottom of your Personal Space.

If I remember correctly I said something rrreeeaaaallllyyy stupid....


Now I feel rrreeeaalyyy guilty so I better actually add in somthing productive this time.....or at least less phallic symbology

Wasn't stupid at all - you mentioned the thatch and pitch and stuff!!

Thanks for commenting on the entry.

*sweeps off virtual hat*

My delight to read...plus I found it an-suimiúil.

Eh?

Sorryslipped into Irish there,an-suimiúil=very interesting.

Ah, thanks. I'm afraid I don't speak much Irish. In fact, I don't speak any at all.

yor not missing much...its useful in three situations
1)pretending you dont speak english to annoying americans.
2)speakin words of ancietnt wisdom...eg "Is maith Líom ceaparí,ach is FUATH líom buí",then pretending this is a deep and mystical ancient saying of wisdom..when it really means "I like sandwiches,but i hate yellow".This works suprisingly well in Paris as a pickup technique...funny story behind me finding this out.
3)Making people call you by your Irish name when you are interviewing for a job.My name is Jerry Mc Auliffe,make them call me Diarmuid Tiomaní Mac Áulibh.


Also getting free drinks on St Patricks.People just throw them at you when they find out your from a tiny Island in Europe.
