Paul Neil Milne Johnstone (c. 1952 -April 2004) was a British poet and schoolmate of science-fiction author Douglas Adams. His student writings were described as pretentious by some of his peers, and Adams made him the butt of a joke in the earliest versions of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Johnstone attended Brentwood School, Essex, with Adams, and the two received awards for English in the same year. Wikipedia
