Amazing how I completely covered for the fact I couldn't be bothered to resolve the lack of plot, isn't it?

I thought the general lack of plot was a tribute to the inspirations of this story.

Rambling though the source materials were, I think both sets did actually have some kind of plot.

Brilliant ^_^ Like the parallels you draw, and Arthur's reaction to having to leave the tea behind. I'm gonna have to bookmark this to reread in a couple of weeks, before our local cinema shows Withnail&I as part of that BBC thing.

Yay, thank you. Also, I really hope they do that thing in London too!

*Dissolves into giggles*

I LOVE IT.

Although as for lack of plot, psh. They went to party. That's a plot.

There are no words for how much I want to reread hitchhiker's now. And see Withnail & I. :D

>>"I don't want to sound rude," Marwood continued as Withnails' claw like hand grabbed a fistful of his trouser leg again.

"When you're hitching you have to take what you can get," Ford said in a conciliatory tone. "You know that."

"But are you two by any chance - " Marwood asked, mostly unheeded.

"Well I think you like it," Arthur said huffily.

" - in love?" Marwood finished.

"WHAT?" Ford and Arthur shrieked in near-unison.

"Holy Zaquon," Ford added for emphasis. "What the - what gave you that idea?"

"You bicker like my parents," Withnail said from the floor.

"Like an old married couple," Marwood agreed, trying to pry Withnail's fingers from his jeans again.

Like they can talk. War of the old, bickering married couples. ;)
