Not sure if it's been noted before, but an interesting comment was made in an article on The Age website about Jac Nasser becoming chairman of BHP:

"Born in Bundaberg and a Brisbane Lions supporter, Mr Argus will hand over to Mr Nasser, a supporter of the Melbourne AFL side, early next year."

Good to have heavyweights in our corner, hope he has some involvement with the club...

Nice one Arthur. "Is there any Tea on this ship?"

I hope he knows where his Dees towel is at.

ahhh the great Douglas Adams. Don't forget your towel...

"Space is Big....Really Big. You might think going to the chemist is a long way, but to space that's just peanuts!"

Douglas Adams still Rules. The '82 BBC Series is pure GOLD.

The world is about to end in 3 minutes...Isn't there anything we can do to stop it, like put a paper bag over our head or something...If you like yes....Will it help....No.

Share and enjoy.

Disagree!! May well help to put a bag over our heads (or at least over Vlads for next 1 to 2 weeks). Is the answer to - How many days until we are safe regarding the PP = 42???

Alternatively get the Bill Highy character to come and recreate the world circa ealr 1960's with a clone of the Red Fox as coach of MFC!!

BTW in the AFL version Vlad and Adrian A see themselves as the mice!

If you look closely in that scene in the pub when the world is about to end Douglas Adams is sitting at the bar. I know, it's sad that I know that.

Yes we need SlartyBartfast to re create the Glory years!! Good call Tony.

Yes the observing mice could well be Vlad & little anderson. Most observant pick up there.

Lets watch how much cheese they devour between them on Brownlow night.

I am actually re reading a hitchikers guide at the moment

we've got the flim on disc and always worth a rerun!

The Film is ok, But Zaphod & Marvin are so much cooler in the BBC series. I saw the Film in New York, & nobody laughed!! Idiots.

I was actually pretty happy with the film. Letting Americans produce such a masterpiece was always a scary proposition. Douglas one said that getting a movie made in Hollywood was like trying to cook a steak by having a succession of people walk into a room and breath on it (or something to that effect).

Other choice DNA quotes:

"I love deadlines, I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"

"Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so"

That is also one of my favourite quotes. Nice one WYL

"It must be a Thursday. I could never quite get the hang of Thursdays"

RIP. So long and thanks for all the laughs.

"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss"

Don't get me started, I could go on like this all day. One of the best books I've read.

One from Arthur himself "Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of."

Pity you couldn't find a Demons scarf to go with the snappy dressing gown Arthur

Am I the only one confused by this?

"Born in Bundaberg and a Brisbane Lions supporter, Mr Argus will hand over to Mr Nasser, a supporter of the Melbourne AFL side, early next year."

Don Argus is a well know Demons support so who is the Bundberg, Lion supporting fella??

How do you not understand it?

Don Argus was born in Bundaberg.

He is a Lions supporter.

He is handing over to Jac Nasser.

Nasser is a demons' supporter.

Not rocket science.

Yeh i think the problem is i know for a fact Don Argus is a demon supporter so it begs the question the reporter may of got his facts wrong or written it up wrong meaning Nasser is a lions supporter?
