Today is 36 years to the day since the first episode of The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy was fist broadcast (for those that still think it started with the books, or worse, with the movie - it started as a radio serial). To celebrate, one of our main radio stations has started re-broadcasting the series. I listened, and it is as good as it was thirty six years ago. I know much of it by heart, but it still made me laugh, particularly my favourite three lines from the first episode:
Ford: "It is an unpleasant feeling, rather like being drunk."
Arthur: "What is so unpleasant about being drunk?"
Ford: "Ask a glass of water!"

Getting daylight savings all year round is easy. Simply set your alarm clock to an hour earlier each day. You don't need the government to tell you to get up earlier in the morning, you can just do it yourself!

There is a way round that too: Set your alarm clock to an hour
later each day. Just because the government to tell you to get up earlier in the morning, you don't have to obey. Tell them to stuff it and spend an extra hour snoring!
