Why the Prime Minister wanted 42 days detention has now become clear. The dozy prime minister thinks this is the meaning of life, as seen in Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy!

That's according to a lad who came into the office yesterday to clean the windows.

42? He should be called Gordon Bennet not Gordon Brown!!!

Can this prime minister be more strange?

The Daily Apology would like to sincerely apologise to Gordon Brown for printing a story about him that we are unable to even repeat the essence of in this apology.

Suffice it to say that we are sorry, and well done for scraping through the 42 day thingie yesterday by paying off the Ulster Unionists.

Civil liberties? If they have nothing to hide then there's nothing to worry about is there?

Douglas Adams, who invented the number 42 as the meaning of life and everything in his excellent novel The Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, available in our book shop click here, actually turned in his grave last night after the government used his number for some reason or other. This is according to seismologists measuring activity in his grave.

Adams, deceased, died all of a sudden in his 50's or something. What a shame.
