Marmora Man Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I've just started to re-read this - having found it hidden under dust at the back of my bookshelves.In it I noticed that Douglas Adams identified the e-book about 30 years before it became a reality. He also suggested the talking lift (something I abhor) and the bureaucratic mindset of all life forms.Are there any other perceptive elements to his works?

giggirl Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Yes there are MM. The Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster does indeed get you very very inebriated. I tried one in the 80s and I've only just sobered up.

Marmora Man Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 I remember drinking PGGB's in the early '80's at Plymouth Theatre at a performance of HHGTG.Good stuff - ours were pink with flames.

giggirl Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I went to a stage version of the HHGTTG at the Rainbow in North London (anyone remember the place - Mr Bob Marley left his mark there once?) - we drank PGGBs from test tubes with dry ice coming from the general area of the bar. I wore an outfit with shoulder-pads and my boyfriend had a Porsche (well you had to).
