I expect you probably know that Hotblack Desiato are estate agents in Camden, Islington & Highbury ... Douglas Adams' inspiration for the name in Hitchhiker's. He used to drive past the Camden one apparently, and the name always made him chuckle, so he asked them if he could use their name in the book ... the rest is history!

In the early eighties I knew a chap who was a big fan of Hitchhiker's Guide. I can't remember his real name anymore but he was always known as "Slunty" or his full name of "Sluntycuntthrust".
