So, 42 eh?
Well as we all know it is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. But suppose Deep Thought made a mistake and 42 wasn't the answer, what would it be?

The Babel fish thread
According to the Guide, the Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It goes on to say that the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has ccaused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history…

Favourite Quotes from the Hitchhiker books
I came accross this earlier - and I keep forgetting the brilliance that is Douglas Adams - so I created a thread to share this nugget of wisdom with all of you :D :D:D

Anyone read
The Time Machine - H.G Wells. It's surprisingly excellent - read it recently. This loser country could learn from its messages.

Telephone number of a flat in Islington....
Hello all.... This is my first venture into this forum, and I hope someone out there can answer (insofar as it can be answered) a question for me. Back in the late '80's I happened to be in a very drunken state downstairs in Bruxelles bar on Harry Street in Dublin. Being a big fan of the Hitchhikers Guide, I ended up in…

Scratched radio series cd
I've just discovered that my copy of CD2 in the Secondary Phase of the Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy - the radio series is scratched and won't play tracks 4 - 8. Would anyone have a spare and any idea where I could get my hands on a replacement without having to buy the entire box-set? Gutted :(

Hey
Well folks Only saw this forum recently and now that I'm at home in bed ill said I'd say Hi. What a fantastic book. I.remember going to The Wise Owl in swords about 16 years ago and buying it. Being honest, I think it sculptured my somewhat odd sense of humor. What kind of annoys me is that a lot of people haven't read nor…

Kinda Quiet
Hmm, Hello, hello, hello See, it's so empty in here there's an echo! Finished re-listening to the complete Adams Hitchhikers Guide the other day, fantastic stuff, why don't they have this on the Leaving Cert? I'd re sit if only to answer a question on what "Ix" means!

The DG sofa Comes To the small Screen at lasT

Dirk Gently is on tonight Thursday on BBC4 at 9pm Let the time travelling…

And Another Thing...the sixth book of the trilogy
Eoin Colfer interview Interesting to see how this is received by fans. I suspect the film rights are not being snapped up after the fiasco of the HHGTTG.
-
5th book of the trilogy
I've only read my dad's books which were the four books in the trilogy but I see that there's a FIFTH - is it worth reading or is it a case of him cashing in? I don't want to read a poor dragged out version of it... THANKS! (any recommendations of other similar reads all appreciated too!)
-
And another thing...
Has anybody read And another thing... yet? If so is it worth a look? I'm not sure why Eoin Colfer thought it would be a good idea to add to a series that he had nothing to do with so I haven't been able to bring myself to buy the book yet.

Hitchhiker, the radio show
Just about finished listening to the radio renditions of the adventures of Arthur, Ford and the gang and loving it all over again. I haven't listened to them in a while and forgot how wonderful they are. Especially the Primary and Secondary phases, although the "WOOP" heralding the arrival of the Krikkit ship should be my…
