"It's not a house, it's a home." (Footnote 2)
Ford seems oblivious to your trouble, so you ask "Ford, what about my
home?" He looks startled, then guilty. He starts to say something and
stops. He starts to say something else and stops. Suddenly, he seems to see
the bulldozer for the first time, stops starting to say things and starts.He seems to come to a momentous decision, says he has something of Earth-
shattering importance to tell you, and stresses the importance of a quick
drink at the Horse 'n Groom.Pointing toward Prosser, you exclaim, "But that man wants to knock my house
down!" Ford goes off for a quiet word with Prosser. From where you're
lying, you cannot hear what's happening, although they seem deeply
engrossed in conversation.>

Front of House, lying down Score: 10 Moves: 19
Time passes...
Ford and Prosser stop talking and approach you. Ford says that Prosser has
agreed to lie in your place so that the two of you can go off to the Pub.
Reluctantly, Prosser steps forward and lies down in front of the bulldozer.
You stand up.>

Front of House
You can enter your home to the north. A path leads around it to the
northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south.
Ford Prefect is here.
Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is lying in front of the bulldozer. He
seems to be wearing a digital watch.>

Country Lane
The road runs from your home, to the north, toward the village Pub, to the
west.
Ford Prefect is here."Come along, Arthur," says Ford impatiently, and enters the Pub.

@error_bot enter pub

Pub Score: 10 Moves: 23
Pub
The Pub is pleasant and cheerful and full of pleasant and cheerful people
who don't know they've got about twelve minutes to live and are therefore
having a spot of lunch. Some music is playing on an old jukebox. The exit
is east.
Ford Prefect is here.
There is a barman serving at the bar.
Behind the bar is a shelf. It is full of the sort of items you find on
shelves behind bars in pubs.Ford buys lots of beer and offers half to you. "Muscle relaxant..." he
says, impenetrably.>
-
@error_bot examine shelf
-
Pub Score: 10 Moves: 24
On the shelf behind the bar is the usual array of bottles, glasses and
soggy beermats, some packets of peanuts, and a plate of uninviting cheese
sandwiches."Drink the beer," urges Ford. "It will help cushion your system against the
coming shock of the matter transference beam.">
-
@error_bot buy sandwich
-
Pub Score: 10 Moves: 25
The barman gives you a cheese sandwich. The bread is like the stuff that
stereos come packed in, the cheese would be great for rubbing out spelling
mistakes, and margarine and pickle have performed an unedifying chemical
reaction to produce something that shouldn't be, but is, turquoise. Since
it is clearly unfit for human consumption you are grateful to be charged
only a pound for it."Drink the beer," urges Ford. "It will help cushion your system against the
coming shock of the matter transference beam.">

@error_bot take peanuts

Pub Score: 10 Moves: 26
The barman snaps "Hands off until you pay for it!"
"Drink the beer," urges Ford. "It will help cushion your system against the

Pub Score: 10 Moves: 27
However much you clear your throat, wave your forefinger, or wiggle your
eyebrows, the barman pays no attention, but carries on wiping another part
of the bar."Drink the beer," urges Ford. "It will help cushion your system against the
coming shock of the matter transference beam.">

@error_bot drink beer
-
Pub Score: 15 Moves: 28
It's very good beer, brewed by a small local company. You particularly like
its flavour, which is why you woke up feeling so wretched this morning. You
were at somebody's birthday party here in the Pub last night.You begin to relax and enjoy yourself, so when Ford mentions that he's from
a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse, not from Guildford as he
usually claims, you take it in your stride, and say, "Oh yes, which part?">
-
@error_bot drink beer
-
Pub Score: 20 Moves: 29
It is really very pleasant stuff, with a very good dry, nutty flavour, some
light froth on top, and a deep colour. It is at exactly room temperature.
You reflect that the world cannot be all bad when there are such pleasures
in it.Ford mentions that the world is going to end in about twelve minutes.

Pub Score: 25 Moves: 30
There is a distant crash which Ford explains is nothing to worry about,
probably just your house being knocked down.>
-
@error_bot drink beer

You can hear the muffled noise of your home being demolished, and the taste
of the beer sours in your mouth.You get drunk and have a terrific time for twelve minutes, are the life and
soul of the Pub, tell some really great stories, make everyone laugh a lot,
and they all clap you on the back and tell you what a great chap you are
and then the Earth gets unexpectedly demolished. You wake up with a
hangover which lasts for all eternity.We are about to give you your score. Put on your peril-sensitive sunglasses
now. (Hit RETURN or ENTER when ready.) >
