Hello darkness, my old friend....

Zephod Beeblebrox

@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.

@BritishTechGuru I was aware of that. You've read the published Radio Scripts too, eh? 🙃 @lednaBM

@BackFromTheDud @lednaBM

I listened to it on the radio in the 80s then read the book.

@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

@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.

@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.
