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

Hello there Perry, 'tis Sal from Filums (and QQ now and then).

You'll be flattered (or horrified!) to know that I've just finished a fabulous tome and it put me in mind of you! Sadly for you it wasn't about a red-blooded male in a Harold Robbins bustier-ripper, but "The Defence Diaries of W. Morgan Petty" (edited by Brian Bethell)

About a chap who safeguards his garden and home from nuclear attack and declares it a Nuclear Free Zone. There's a wealth of imaginative tips in there which you may find handy if you're still troubled by moles and such like, long-haired Johnnies etc

Given his astounding military background, Ian may also be interested in it.

Highly recommended, whether it helps or not it's a cracking read - I've made a bit of an arse of myself in public laughing out loud at it! So careful you don't bust the Ducal Lumbar support and whatnot.

Sal

Hello Sal

It's very nice to hear from you, even if you *were* a longaird johnny .

I must say, it has been a treat meeting you fillum chaps. One of my few passions, the old fillums, and I was almost quite distraught when the old Beeb boards went s up last week.

Thank you for the book recommendation - I'll order the bally thing on the morrow, when the old Ducal pupil has reduced to a suitably small size for inputting of the dread cred !

I must warn you, dear chap, I'm wont to walk in my sleep, so don't be surprised if I turn up on your personal space, bearing butter muffins, and a trencher of Doolittles.

Your new Chum,

Perry.

Evening Perry,

So I'm forgiven for the Greenpeace guerilla? Phew!

Do hope you find that book, I got an old copy passed all around the houses (we live in a very poor neighbourhood). My brainbox is a bit troubled now - hope it's still available.

It's a lovely place over on Filums, aye, it's been good to see you over there. I might not know that much about Ingmar Bergmann but as long as I get to whitter on about Debbie Does Dallas once in a while I'm happy.

Most kind of you to offer muffins and ale, it's what made this nation great after all. So feel free to carry on regardless with your nocturnal wanderings. The personal space could do with a good dust really. I think I need a woman-who-does.

Forward of me, I know, but thinking 'Polishing Moles' was another of your Ducal tales, I poked my delicate schnozz in...well done on getting into the Post, Perry!

Sal
