    That's a wonderful image Chashio and i deeply agree here! Had to look up BFG and found i only saw a trailer and a poster some time ago without ever watching the movie itself (only know the book from back in the days ). Thanks for that kind of inspiration too!

    Haha, you're welcome. Yeah, I had read the book a long while back and only recently saw the movie, which is probably why my brain went there. It is a great movie with fabulous characters. Enjoy!

    I never was a huge fan of dry British humor, so when I started reading Hitchhiker's Guide I had a hard time getting in to it. BUT, the more I read, and the more I saw the multiple layers of humor, and the intertwining of story lines I ended up loving the books.

    Its better listening to the original radio broadcast version, which I think was directed by Douglas Adams. This is a really bad quality pirate copy of the original 1978 series part 1. The series can be bought on CD - presumably much better quality!

    AWESOME!!!!! Thank you Mouse
    An older hippie friend of mine years and tears ago had given me the recording they made of the original show...
    and then I lost one or more of the tapes. And I have no tape player now... so it has been a long time since I have been able to listen to these.
    Oh, and yes, it was directed by Adams.

    Here's a place to buy the CD, but I don't know whether they export!

    The sound on that YouTube link is pretty dreadful in places, which kind of spoils it, but I remember listening to the original broadcast when I was a teenager, so I know how bad the pirated YouTube copy is.

    EDIT: that's only a reduced version. Don't know if the US can get this delivered, or if anyone can afford to buy it, but the complete set is available from Amazon here.

    This is adorable! I love the rabbits. Although... when I see the traffic cones, I keep thinking of the icon for the VLC media player. Maybe they're hip hop bunnies...
