Adams' Dirk Gently Serialized on BBC Radio 144
happy monday writes "Douglas Adams' 'Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency' is being serialised by BBC Radio, starring Harry Enfield. The first episode can be listened to on Radio 4's website now." The Times has a fairly glowing review of the program, and (for US folks like myself) some incomprehensible British-isms to boot.

I've heard it said that John Howard's head is so far up Bush's arse that he can nearly see Tony Blair's feet.
Yes, I'm British. No, I didn't vote for him. How could you tell?

I am surprised because I thought most English people could speak American, even though most Americans can't speak English.
After all, it is common knowledge about hood/bonnet, trunk/boot, truck/lorry, fall/autumn, mobile/cellphone, ranch house/bungalow, flat/condo, communist/left-wing, liberal/moderate-right wing, centre-ground/sane fascist, conservative/insane fascist with a microphone, English measurement/US customary units, bum/tramp, fanny/bum, v****a/fanny, trash/rubbish, bollocks (two meanings).
Although while typing this I got an amusing email from an American who didn't realise that "willy" has a double meaning here :-) ouch...
