was that a Douglas Adams reference there Monty? Wonderful set of books. I was disappointed he died before he could take back the ending of the last book.

Yes, indeed - the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I think, though it is years since I read it, that 42 was the ultimate answer to the world, the universe and everything.

Great books, right up until the last one. He never should've written it.

Just looked it up - it's the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything.
The meaning of life would be Monty python.

IIRC the question, as pulled by pre-humans from a bag, is "What is six times nine".

Started to really follow the team around 2001/02 - late starter i know, although i do remember the tears of 1997 and joy of promotion after beating PNE. I dont get to visit the Reebok as much as im at uni, so i guess i will have to be a part-timer at the moment!

All are welcome, except by those who indulge in p!ssing-up-the-wall contests, which should be ignored.

Six times nine is 42 in base 13 I believe.

Is this the first case of anyone actually using base 13?

It may be a little unusual, although I have known people with six fingers.

Adams denied this conection btw and said it was just coincidence.
