Note from a cheap bed-sit in Manchester

I missed the first episode.
A close friend who was a Radio 4 fan told me about this wonderful new series on .. was it Sunday nights (?). Anyway, the next week I tuned across from Radio 3, and heard Peter Jones' deadpan delivery for the first time. I learnt about Vogon poetry, the importance of towels, babel fish ... and hung onto every word, every marvellous image Douglas had created, cherishing them like jewels.
23 years on from from that bed-sit in Manchester, 42 years old and still carrying around the box of exquisite jewels I borrowed from him, I joined Douglas' web-site to discover that he had just passed away.
Something of myself has passed away too.
