Douglas Adams
Mark Carwardine's role, essentially, was to be the one who knew what he was talking about. My role, and one for which I was entirely qualified, was to be an extremely ignorant non-zoologist to whom everything that happened would come as a complete surprise.
Douglas Adams
Cyberspace is - or can be - a good, friendly and egalitarian place to meet.
Douglas Adams
