Is Memes the plural of Meme?

It seems this blog is circling around the subject of endings. I just finished listening to the last in the BBC H2G2 series. The Quintessential Phase (the fifth part of a trilogy) final episode aired in the UK last week and thanks to the wonders of Bittorrent I was listening to it in my car on the way to work this morning.

I can almost remember my first taste of the H2G2. I was catching a lift from my sisters boy friend (now one of my brothers in law). It was being played on the album show of a local radio station, I guess I was 16 or so. Naturally I bought the vinyl. And then second album and then the book. I still have the books but can’t remember exactly what happened to the vinyl. I think I lent them to my ex girlfriends brother – he has a natural talent as a sponge – and have not seen them since.

That was a long time ago and the movie rekindled my interest. As mentioned previously I downloaded phase 1 & 2 of the radio original play – delightful – and my son loved it as well. I found a great article in Wilkpedia about the series and, with great joy, discovered that the BBC had recorder the next three parts – oh joy, oh happy days…

The rest is history, at least from the perspective of an ape descendant travelling linearly in the time dimension.

So long Douglas and thanks for all the memes.
