Humour

What I like best in British humour is the innocent, absurd kind.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, written by Douglas Adams, is the best example, in my view.
Make sure you get to see the film, H2G2, one day if you haven't yet.
The dolphin song, introduces the film and gives the flavour pretty well. Enjoy!
