"An error on a Taylor ice cream machine could look something like this: "ERROR: XSndhUIF LHPR>45F 1HR LPROD too VISC," according to WSJ. Taylor rebutted and said any codes that appear on its machines can be easily found in the machine’s manual."
Hm, what does this remind me of?
“But the plans were on display…"
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
- scrollaway 5y agoWhere is that little story from? Sounds fun

- awesomeusername 5y agoOmg you get to enjoy HHGTTG fresh for the first time! Lucky you. Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, Douglass Adams
- sopooneo 5y ago"...Ahhhh now I get all the 42 references"
- scrollaway 5y agoHah I figured it might be. I've only read bits of it. It's on the list... Saving it for a rainy day :)

- scrollaway 5y agoThanks for the recommendation!
- samizdis 5y agoThe books are available pretty much anywhere. The original HHGTTG was actually written for BBC Radio. There's info at the BBC (but sadly none of the programmes are available atm; they will probably resurface at some point, though). https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03v379k https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03v379k I cannot recommend the radio series highly enough, and they should be available to buy (or find) somewhere. Mind you, the books are also terrific - there are minor alterations in plot details. For me, though, the TV series and film were disappointing, but to each their own. Edit to add: The radio series are available at archive.org. There's an HHGTTG "omnibus page". The navigation is rather confusing, but in the listings panel, the first programme in the first series (Primary Phase) is number 10 [1], followed by listings 11 to 15 for the rest of the first series. The second series (Secondary Phase) start after that, and so on for the subsequent series. I've skipped through a few episodes to check and it all seems in order.

- scrollaway 5y agoAh yes! I've listened to the radio series before! I do not remember that bit though. It was a while ago, all i remember is that it was great. Maybe I'll give it another listen. Didn't know there was a film...
- samizdis 5y agoAh, well the bit quoted was from the very first episode when Arthur explains to the workmen who have come to knock down his house how he found out about the plans to build a bypass, and hence demolish his house. It's at 2min 39-ish, in the link above, so might as well settle down with a nice cup of tea and listen to it from the start :-)
- domador 5y agoSounds like "PC LOAD LETTER". I'm already visualizing an ice cream machine getting a beatdown with a baseball bat in the middle of a field...
