I found this site while conducting a never-ending search for the meaning of life. I believe I found this site on MSN search. It seems that no matter what you are searching for, there is always some inane web sites lurking about.

A friend of mine emailed it to me, I suspect to give me something to do other than annoying him. He probably found it through a search. He has more patience for them than I do.

I watch far too much TV and saw it on TW. I rushed to a computer to try and log on, but just got a busy message instead. So I waited until I got back to Uni to try and apply. It worked first time.

forgive my ignorance, Wonder Llama. I know what a TV is, but what's a TW?

my dad had read THHGTTG many years ago, and he suggested that i give it a look. i was hooked after the intro, and couldn't wait to read the rest of the "trilogy".

I've spent far too much time on here now... I can't remember anything else! Let alone how I got here!

It was recommended by www.pa.press.net (a British news site). It was there or miss-typing something I saw written in a telephone box. One or the other.

I'd be careful with what you find in telephone boxes! There should be a guide entry about those!

I feel old. I actually heard the first series of HHGTTG on the radio (or wireless as we called it in 1978). Read the books. Saw TW by accident (normally a prog I avoid like the plague, as it is usually at least 3 years out of date) and signed up.

No, I already explained what TW was!

Hehe.. well, even I could explain what TW meant! Most of the time I'm floundering around out of my depth, but this, I could answer!
