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

Looking like a TARDIS (inside or outside) doesn't narrow things down much! You have to check whether it's a good or bad one though (ie who is running it)...

And you've been in the land of the faerie ever since!

When I went in there, nobody seemed to be running it. I toyed with the idea of taking it for a joyride, but couldn't figure out what to do with the font.

Yes, Kaz, it certainly seems that way a lot of the time. I like the fact that there's a magical folk tale to explain almost every part of the landscape: stuff about dragons and monsters, witches and faeries, trolls and giants....

There's a mountain in mid Wales about which they say, if you spend a night on it, by morning you will be dead, or mad, or a poet. So obviously, I had to go and spend a night on it. I'm fairly sure I'm not dead, but you'll have to draw your own conclusions about the other options.

Here's the cathedral spaceship, BTW

The exterior:

The interior:

Outside I'd say it was more of a funnel than a wigwam. Think head of the tin-man perhaps (though that begs the question of where the rest of his body is). It's a little ostentatious to be a camouflaged TARDIS.

Inside it could be a TARDIS. On the other hand it could easily belong to the sort of aliens who abduct and experiment on people - with those cages for victims above the dissection zone in the centre of the theatre.

"Inside it could be a TARDIS."

That's what I meant.

"On the other hand it could easily belong to the sort of aliens who abduct and experiment on people - with those cages for victims above the dissection zone in the centre of the theatre."

It could be, SEF. It could well be. What amazes me is that they managed to convince *anyone* that this spaceship is a cathedral. I mean, look at it.

Reminds of the film Men in Black when the Seattle space needles, or something like that, were actually spaceships as well!

Very much like the temple of the fire religion (also a secret rocket ship) in Space Precinct.

I don't recall either of those. Then again, I don't remember most of the films / programmes I watch.

Te he; so i am not the only person in the universe who brings nutters home?

Good on yer!

(I may be worse actually, i go & see a band & invite the lot of 'em back here for the weekend; it's great fun!)

Sure you may howl if you wish....

Mv - holder of delayed reactions.

uh..please refer to post 14..

Ow-ow-owoo...ooh!

Where I lived in Greece, pretty much everyone had a dog tied up in their yard to guard their chickens. I used to stand on top of a hill and howl at the moon, and it would set off all the nearby dogs, which would set off the dogs further down the hill, until eventually all the dogs in the area would be howling away among the olive groves. Happy days.

Whereas I was one of those who used to howl from the local mound or the top of the college buildings here which set off all the other students on the top of their locations. These days I'm more of a howl on the telephone sort of person as I can do that from indoors.

I have something other than the moon to howl about at the moment. My EQ books arrived yesterday. Although one copy of the new one was missing, Richard Pini replied to my email today to confirm that *was* just a packing error as I guessed (failure to read 2 instead of 1) and they would be sending it via air mail shortly. So I don't have to fight my friend for custody of it (water-pistols at noon over the hedge seemed a possibility). Ow-ow-owoo-ooh!

It's good to howl.
