I once went back to read through that diary and found that I had written Brother Murphy is a tosser four hundred different ways. A touch of the Shinings. It’s nice to realize how close to lunacy we all are all the time.

This post worths a bucket of dingo’s kidneys and so does the so-called Part six. It has not much to do with the HHGG ethos, just adopted the props.
