42

[Moley]

On my iPod I've got all 5 audiobooks and all 5 series of radio plays. Every now and then I have a couple of weeks where I will listen to the whole lot, back to back. That probably happens a couple of times a year.

I'm in the middle of that at the moment and have just started on the first radio series, but as I'm currently involved in a manual and repetitive task which I can perform sitting down and with my brain turned off, I was listening to the plays whilst reading Wikipedia's notes on the Primary phase.

Where in the credits they say “and the music was by Paul ‘Wix’ Wickens” I have always rather assumed he had written the main theme. Turns out he didn't and I've just diverted to iTunes and downloaded an Eagles instrumental track from 1975 called “Journey of the Sorcerer” from the album “One of these nights”.

I used to have the HHG theme as a ringtone on a previous mobile phone but lost it when a fleece went in the washing machine before I'd emptied the pockets. I can rectify that now on my current mobile.

So come on, I know there are a few Douglas Adams / HHG2G fans on this forum, declare yourselves and let's see if we can finally nail down that accursed question.

It's unpleasantly like being drunk.
What's so unpleasant about being drunk?
Ask a glass of water

Wow, you should be in the movies.
You baby, you should be in real life.

Here I am, brain the size of a planet......

On the other hand, the BBC audio of LotR is just right for decorating a room from start to finish

And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl... suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything.

Sadly, however, before she could get to a phone to tell anyone about it, a terrible, stupid catstrophe occured, and the idea was lost forever.

This is not her story.

The guy was a genius and is sadly missed. Incidentally he became the father of his first child at age 42 :whistle:

don't panic

... unless you get the Guide mk.2 (the bird, as voiced by Rula Lenska) .... in which case, PANIC!

Has anyone read the Eoin Colfer 6th book and is it worth bothering with?

Life has certainly dumbed down since he passed away.

You ask any Chav today "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything?"

And the answer you'll get is;

"Whatever"

 

[Jeltz]

Oh no not again

Anyway the question is; on a scale of 1-10 how bad is my poetry?

 

[BeerEagle]

Petunias!

If you haven't brewed with a gold brick and a lemon you haven't brewed!

What's the OG of TT Landlord in Brewer's degrees ?

 

[BrotherMalice]

I used to have a recipie for a pangalactic gargleblaster somewhere, will have to try & dig it out :)

 

[Moley]

Unfortunately, most of the ingredients simply aren't available on our insignificant little blue/green planet, or did you mean as close as we can get in the absence of that ol' Janx spirit, Santraginian sea water, Acturan mega-gin, Falian marsh gas, Qualactin hypermint extract and Algolian sun tigers' teeth?

 

[PD]

can we not substitute with Motter and Crystal....?
