- Does anyone else think that the song "And She Was" by the talking heads had
- to be about Fenchurch?

- Unrelated point...my brother heard from a friend that Adams seriously HATES
- writing, saying that other writers SAY they hate it but only he really
- means it. The story goes that he had something like a year to write one of
- the Dirk Gently books but dashed it off in the last few weeks. Also heard
- that his publishers post people outside his door to make sure he gets the
- work done. Has anyone else heard this? We got the impression that people
- were badgering him to write another HHG book so he said in effect, "You
- want another one? FINE! I'll kill them all, in all possible universes!
- Here's your f---ing book!"
