@lednaBM The more you know, the more you realise you don't know but you've got a pretty good idea where to look to find answers.
@lednaBM That requires Deep Thought...
@BritishTechGuru "What do you get if you multiply 6 by 9?" @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @lednaBM 42 if you use base 13.
@BritishTechGuru I was aware of that. You've read the published Radio Scripts too, eh? @lednaBM
I listened to it on the radio in the 80s then read the book.
@BritishTechGuru Same, more or less. I even had the Towel! @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @lednaBM We couldn't afford towels when I was growing up. We had to run around until the water dried off naturally. I did manage to get the dark glasses though. I spent a weeks salary on them last year!
@BritishTechGuru Run around? LUXURY! When I were a lad we had to... (Huh? What do you mean, "that's the wrong sketch"?) @lednaBM
@BritishTechGuru @BackFromTheDud @lednaBM Nah, see. Ya should have bought these ones....

@bytebro @BackFromTheDud @lednaBM I bought the cheap knockoff version sold to me by a Vogon peddler.
@BritishTechGuru I fed my Vogon grandmother to the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, because the paperwork didn't come back fast enough. @bytebro @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @bytebro @lednaBM
But the paperwork was ready for you to collect. You just had to get them from the filing cabinet with a "beware of the leopard" sign on it.
@BritishTechGuru I didn't have a ladder or a torch. @bytebro @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @bytebro @lednaBM
I think I left mine on the table at Milliways if that's any help.
@BritishTechGuru I'm barred from there. Once, the Temporal Bubble went a bit wrong, and I ended up getting into a fight with myself. All very embarrassing. @bytebro @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @bytebro @lednaBM
Killing yourself in the future isn't like killing yourself in the past. There's only one past and a million futures.
@BritishTechGuru The management didn't agree. I now have a restraining order keeping me at least 3 billion years away from the end of the universe. @bytebro @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @bytebro @lednaBM All you need to do now is to put a penny into a bank account then go straight back to Milliways with an attorney to get that overturned. The penny will pay all the attorney fees.
@BritishTechGuru You forget the galactic banking crash that happened after Magrathea went dormant. @bytebro @lednaBM
@BackFromTheDud @bytebro @lednaBM Smart people took their money out before the crash and bought Vl'hurg battle cruisers that they loaned out to the Vl'hurgs.
