h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...Douglas Adams...

It's now several years ago that I happened to hear someone talking about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, quite accidentally, on the radio. I shook my head, thinking I must have hear wrong - there CAN'T be such a thing as a guide to the galaxy.

And then, like it sometimes is, those words seemed to be poppping up everywhere... radio, TV, newspapers, people talking - and it drove me nuts! Determined to find out what was going on, I managed to find the books - and bought them all, and read them everywhere, even on the commuter train, laughing out loud, with people staring at me!

And then I read something in a newspaper about a site called h2g2.com, checked it up - and joined! I've met so many people, and made so many new friends - with such a lovely twisted sence of humour! Thanks all, and thanks DNA!

Douglas Adams, died of a heart attack last friday at age 49

I just found this forum and i've been reding it, it's all so sad... *s everyone*
...for Douglas Adams
...for my aunt who died the same day as Douglas Adams. She hadmultiple sclerosis
...for my grandfather and step-grandfather, both of whom i never met
...for my grandmothers, who both died of cancer
...and finally for the victims of the Titanic i know it's a very famous disaster, but that doesn't make it any less terrible...

I know it's sad, but at the same time strangely comforting, that's why I started it...

Goodness - when I was going through old letters I discovered I've forgotten to light a candle for...

...Herr Braun, who died of old age, 90 years old...

...a small and wrinkled man, who stayed curious all his life - in the last years, he watched TV a lot, preferrably debates and documentaries, staying very much in touch with life...

...a man who travelled to the US when he was young, spent several years there, and then, when the depression came, sold his motor cycle and earned his way across the Atlantic back to Switzerland as a piano player on a cruiser...

...often asked to act as interpreter at various events, and constantly amazing people with his still very American accent...

My Aunt Irene who would have been 80, recently went to live in Heaven.
My brother Philip, almost 51 years since you went away, I never saw you but I love you still.

For my dad,Joe,who died 22 years ago this month.Still miss having a pint with him at the weekends.
For Sue,a very dear friend,who took her own life,November,1985.Just wish you could have talked to someone about what was troubling you.I'll always remember you with affection.
For my sister,Jenny,who died last year,without telling me she was seriously ill.I just wish we could have been closer and known each other better.

my grandpa, who died on monday
