Well, as we all wait for the Vogons to appear, my three pints of bitter just won't taste the same without the Mr. Adams to tell us: "Don't Panic". The founder and author of one of the Great Publications of Ursa Minor has pasted on, and resistance may be useless but it was a heck of alot more fun with Mr. D. here to show us how vital the babel fish really is.
I've just had a terrible pain in all the diodes down my left side, and I've gone into a bit of a decline...
We'll all miss him.

just totally shocked, to log on this site for first time, and learn the news. I just wanted to thank Douglas for some fantastic moments, radio, TV, and Books all brought their own magic to the Galaxy, and what a galaxy to be living in.
my condolances to Douglas's family, and what else can I say, but
"so long, and thanks for all the.. laughs"
6 Pints of Bitter, please...

Sorry you've jopined the site such a tragic time. However now you are here can I suggest you activate your personal space and become an active researcher for the guide.
Once you activate your space I or (more likely) one of my fellow ACEs will pop over and say hello and give you an introduction to the guide.

I also have just joined the site, having only learned of its exsistance in the BBC News Onlines report of this tragic occurance... a great loss to us all, but wherever he is now is greatly more interesting, and I plan to visit one day, whether through one to many pan-galactic gargle-blasters, or having a pot of petunias and a whale fall on me from a great height...
my thoughts are with his friends and family
