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

Hi Rich I've just nipped round to tell you I've posted in the ACE forum and ACE's home page about your AViating idea and hope to gather responses there rather than on Emmily's thread. You can keep an eye on the onsite responses here http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F27584?thread=5231036 I hope I've got the gist of things this time.

Sorry, Fizzy, I missed this completely. I've been more off than on this last week, and I've only just noticed it.

Complete lies, of course. I've just been ignoring you

I'll go and take a look, then!

No hurry sir ... it appears the ACEs have been overcome with apathy.


Even in the forum the only thing an ACE could say was that the link I put up wouldn't work because I left the skin in it.


I wouldn't bother putting any work into it if I were you Rich .... if they don't care why should we.


I thought you were supposed to be off for a week.

Yes, that was the plan. Bel and I got most of The Post work done early, and then Shams came back I'll probably take a couple of days away later in the week, anyway.

That's a real shame that they're not interested. It defeats the object, really - the Beeblecast only worked because all of the Post Team really wanted it to happen. It would be great, I think.

I'll go and post what I think, anyway, and if it sounds good maybe try the forum again? It would be fairly simple to do, anyway.

Yeah, I really thought you were some sort of superman when you came up with that original PS .... was just beginning to think - what kind of ACE am I that I can't even follow the links to the original PS .... then you said you remembered him.


I don't know why they're not falling over themselves - Bel says there's never much activity in the ACE forum - but it's been almost a week now and nothing.


I'll try to whip them up into a frenzy tomorrow ... when they've had a chance to see what you've written - but if you do decide to do it - I'll use it.



Thanks for the help.

Right, well let's see what they say, eh?

I might just do it anyway, you know. The Eds are really into this sort of thing, and if we start working on the Help Pages who knows what might happen?

Ah, well, I'm sorry to blow your illusions. I could put a cape on for you, but people would start to talk. Less kryptonite than an uncanny memory for one-line philosophers, I'm afraid...

Well I'm impressed either way ..... by your memory and your enthusiasm - I've read that post you made to the ACEs and hope some of them will respond tomorrow.

Lil and Bel are a given but it'd be nice to have some others...... we'll wait and see.


I'm off to bed now.


I'll post to the ACE forum tomorrow and hope they'll all run round to give you their .


Goodnight - and thanks again.
