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

I am a fan of Runrig and love to hear them sing in gaelic Scottish, even though I can't speak the lanuage.

Runrig - Cnoc Na Feille / Siol Ghoraidh

dear! Nobody but the savages really speaks Gaelic - but it sounds wonderful, doesn´t it?

Pit, it does sound wonderful, I think they are the only band that sings some of their songs in the Gaelic/Celtic languages.

Come off it! Get any BBC DVD of any year´s Cambridge Folk Festival (it´s in its 46th year by now)!

Hey, thanks for posting that video Thinker, I like Runrig too! Got into them in the late eighties ... but not having checked out there more recent stuff. They sing in English too! Please watch this great video of their song 'Our Earth was Once Green'.

Good song, great video ... anyone who knows me will realise why I like it!

I agree another brilliant song by Runrig and very topical as well..

The first time I heard about Runrig was in 1993 when I was in a pub for a pub lunch (on a Woman's rural coach trip) and people from their Loch Lohmnod concert were in the pub playing their records on the juke box.

Hey Terri, where are ya?

Seconds Willem's question! Where the heck is everyone? You okay Terri?

Oh, I think Terri has gone to the German meet.

She was indeed at the German meet. She arrived OK, I looked after her until I put her on the train to her mother-in-law's last night. She may be able to get on the internet there, so we await news with baited breath.

Guten tag!

I am in the MiL Internet cafe in Neustadt, ja, managed to find it!

The German meet was great, especially the picnic in the park, weather here still lovely, when are the photos going to be posted? ( We have new hootoo mascot " Blueberry" plus ...er, rather a lot of hooters being silly, i of course was extremely sensible.)

Hi all, sorry i've not been on here for ages; not been well, been asleep most of the time; maybe i picked up some evil bug while away ?

Seems a bit better now, so hopefully internet life will be resumed as "normal" soon.

Welcome back, hun! H2G2 has been much too quiet without you. Did you see my journal entry about the storms? Talk soon. JE

Hi Terri - sorry to hear you're not well. It wasn't till I read all the reports on the meet that I realised what you'd put yourself through. As for bugs - all those airports, stations and public places, plus staying in your M-i-L's sheltered accommodation (probably hospital-like sanitation and hygiene) - there are quite a lot of opportunities to pick bugs up there.

Get well soon.
