Hi everyone.

I have been a Hitchhiker (and all things DNA) fan for.........ever ! Caught the second episode of the radio series in 1978 (actually I was very nearly caught myself as I was 13 and supposed to be asleep. I had a portable radio under the pillow, heard my Dad coming up the stairs and turned it UP instead of down) and have been hooked ever since.

I now have, I think, everything. Books, CDs, Audio books etc. I used to have a "Don't Panic" towel but it long ago disintegrated.

I bought M J Simpson's biography last week while on holiday and this rekindled the urge to see what was going on in the world of the Hitchhiker.

What I want to know is how come you've been here so long and I've only just found you ? That's typical of me, always the late Dentarthurdent.

Every time you got close we all hid behind a rock. Ah well, you're here now so have some toast.

Welcome, Max!

Have a prince (of denmark, I think) that's turned into a froggy alien.

Hi Max,

You might need this after staring at Scratch's toast and eggs.
