Hey, Sporkulous, a little assistance please?

Okay, I promised to bicker and nag at you with every little whim I got. So, here is my first pestering plea for assistance (BTW, I've been here about seven weeks. Do I still qualify for newbie benefits?). Anyway, this Online City has many, many things. Beaches, bars, taverns, a cafe, etc. I noticed something it doesn't have: a Private Detective Agency. I will take up the task of being h2g2's first holistic detective (after all, we need at least one, don't we?) and will offer my services when needed. I'm not sure exactly what the best way to go around it is, though. That's where my bickering comes in. If you can think of a more convenient way than running it off of my free web page, could you help me with it? Thanks.

Quite an interesting (I'd spell that Intrig-laksjdfa word, but it is rather late/early, and I cannot, well, that's it in a nutshell really!) proposal there.
Anyways, I would have to ask you what you expectations of this are. If I were to open one, well, I might just put one up on my page, with graphics, logos, and testimonials galore, and promply go over to Frink's and apply for a building permit (I believe every member of Frink's Drinks and the Baseball Team is allowed at least one building permit).
And now is the point where I have lost my train of thought... bear (or beer) with me for a moment.
You know what- I must continue this in the morning... I am completely engrossed in doing something else- don't worry, I still love you

Oooookay, . . . Um, . . . I'm assuming a permit is what that letter 'P' stands for in some of the more prestigious areas around H2G2, eh? Anyway, I have a few intentions, mainly as a pick up line ("Hey, I'm a holistic detective!"), but I could actually do some good. Sherlock Holmes was, in some ways, a holistic detective in his first cases, because in the first case, he just had people tell him the details and he solved the cases by seeing how everything was connected. I don't pretend to be able to solve every case, but it could be an open forum thing where everyone on H2G2 could pitch in with helpful ideas about situations researchers may find themselves in. Other than that, the primary reason is that H2G2 will need one eventually. After all, every city needs private detectives. Thats why I'm offering my services.
So, do I still get newbie benefits? Do I?

Hmm... I'm not sure about the P thing, as I am not very attentive to those details, but it is really a simple process, and you will most likely gain a permit AND an endorsement by TVs Frink (as well as myself, not as if that will help any). Anyways, I would definitely house the sight on h2g2 seeing how their is already a forum set up, so you wouldn't have to do any nasty programing, you can still have plenty of graphics, due to off-sight links, and, well, why wouldn't you have it here? I think you have a good idea, and you're pretty well off as is! You have an idea, you know what your expectations are, now just go off and build it!*
*if you would require any nifty artwork, I would happily oblige

Hey, thanks! I think I'll pester you about the artwork after I get the permit, though. Where is that again?

I believe that if you go to Frink's page, there is a sign, somewhere, directing you to Frink's drinks... there will be a place to make a request

Ahh, thanks! I'll keep you posted on the progress.
