 Gently, that is. I finally found this radio series, or audio book or whatever it is. I wondered when they were going to use this material of Douglas... Here's a trailer.

there's going to be also radio series of The long dark tea time of the soul and The salmon of doubt. This gives radio a whole new meaning. Foreign radio, that is... Thank heavens for internet! * * * Have we started again? *shh*  LadyLovelace That would be so cool

I feel bad (sort of) for abusing them now. And here's me thinking Douglas Adams was (much like Monty Python) an acquired taste. That must just be here.... Yours etc., Hanri Oh and btw

If someone/something wants to have more problems organizing his/her/its dvd collection, now it's his/her/its moment. Billy Boyd (whos scottish accent I really adore, as well as Terrys welsh, but that's beside the point) brings "LOTR" and "Master and Commander" right next to "Jeeves and Wooster", "A Bit of Fry and Laurie", "House", "HitchHikers Guide" and "'Allo, 'allo!". But not next to "Harry Potter" though, since it actually includes a Python. Maybe I ought to have a "kida-python-related" dvd shelf, those can't fit on the same shelf with "directly-python-related" dvds anymore. Oh dear. * * * Have we started again? *shh*  Lemming_Of_The_BDA Oh I love his books

Remember reading the hitchhiker trilogy BEFORE it was a movie and I didn't know it was on the radio till later. (Marvin is my favourite) YAY radio shows! (that I can later download on the internet so that I may hear them too!) "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!"  gna42 I've got to say, I look forward to...

I coulda sworn it said 7x6 when I read it....then again, it was a long, long time ago (I can still remember how that music used to make me smile......sorry) Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA hmmm.... do I have it wrong?
Submitted by Lemming_Of_The_BDA on Tue, 2008-05-20 06:07.
I could of sworn it was "Six by nine... Forty two." I may be wrong for I often am "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" LadyLovelace I could be totally wrong

and I can't even find my copy to check. What worries me now is that I've lost my copy of one of my favourite books..... Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA I read mine

in the school library in sixth grade (I would of read it sooner but it was in the "restricted" section of the library) "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" LadyLovelace Why the hell
Submitted by LadyLovelace on Wed, 2008-05-21 04:40.
would it be in the restricted section? *puzzled* Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA I'm not sure
Submitted by Lemming_Of_The_BDA on Wed, 2008-05-21 06:19.
but the section was restricted specifically to middle schoolers and teachers so all I did in the library in fifth grade was stare at them longingly while the other students went off with their goosebumps, Harry Potter, and Beverly Cleary, stuff that I read in second and third grade that was only good for a quick book report when I was too lazy to read a "school appropriate" book. Most of them wouldn't work cause they were more adult things (i.e. gone with the wind) or history. (apparently teachers don't like reports on why Hitler was crazy and hated the Jews when you're a young age) I swear society has it out for us readers! Something about being educated scares people. "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" LadyLovelace I guess it's a fear

of loosing their job to an 11 year old - I've met teachers who could have passed for 11 mentally. All I ever did at school was read, but we never had a restricted section - mind you, the library was full of books by Andrew Denton and Goosebumps and Baby Sitters Club and not much else - it's why the number of books I own warrant being called a personal library - I'm running out of places to put them (including in stacks at the foot of the bed) But the internet has rescued me, now I can read most of my favourite books online (because most of the authors are long since dead, and the copyright has expired) I admit to never having heard of Beverly Cleary Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA She is the one
Submitted by Lemming_Of_The_BDA on Thu, 2008-05-22 05:53.
who wrote books about a girl named Ramona. Also some about a boy named Henry and his Dog. Oh and that one "The Mouse and The Motorcycle." And the books I read are all I remember from first and second grade. But they were rather good books! Things like "Chronicles of Narnia" and "It." "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!"  barfolishus Ooh!

I remember beverly clearly. I used to looove goosebumps in like 2nd Grade. I still have a pretty big collection of RL Stines books in the basement somewhere. I never got into Beverly Cleary, I though she was too "girly"... I was a bit of a tomboy and i loved bugs and such. I still played with my barbies though. I loved the mouse and the motorcycle. ********************* Lemming_Of_The_BDA My mother got me into it (all the dolls and what not)

While my father tried to push me into sports. I wasn't big on either (though I had fun playing the football you play with your feet). "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" LadyLovelace Trust you to read

"It" at that age. I find a lot is explained by that. Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA well I'm curious
Submitted by Lemming_Of_The_BDA on Fri, 2008-05-23 16:15.
as to just exactly what it explains. "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" LadyLovelace I think it explains,
Submitted by LadyLovelace on Sat, 2008-05-24 05:48.
amongst other things, your ability to converse at the level you have demonstrated. Also explains a lot of what I have filed under "Weird" Yours etc., Lemming_Of_The_BDA Interesting

and thanks for calling me weird! Now, for educational purposes, I shall go out and make all young children read Stephen King books! "Know what I mean? Wink wink. Nudge nudge. Say no more! Say no more!" |
OMG YAY!!!!
I love Douglas Adams, and I remember something about this back a few years, but I didn't know they'd actually gone and made a radio play! *runs in circles*. For all the complaining I do about the BBC, they often make me a very happy person (I guess we're a bit like an old married couple, I nag, they don't listen, but they still make me happy)
I'm going to have a good day now :)
Yours etc.,
