	Paul Neil Milne Johnstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Johnstone attended Brentwood School, Essex, with Adams, and the two received awards for English in the same year.
		Johnstone went on to achieve moderate success in the poetry world as an editor and festival organizer; he died of pancreatic failure, almost three years after Adams's death.
		M.J. Simpson, a fan and biographer of Adams, reports at second or third hand that the real Johnstone found citation as the worst poet in the universe primarily "amusing"; in any case, he forcefully insisted that his then current residence address not be used.

	...all these worlds...
		News has just reached me that Paul Neil Milne Johnstone, immortalised in the radio series of Hitchhiker’s Guide as ‘the worst poet in the universe’ sadly died earlier this month (from pancreatic failure).
		Johnstone shared a dormitory with Douglas Adams at Brentwood school — you can see a photograph of them together in my book — where he developed a reputation for writing slightly pretentious poetry.
		Famously, he objected to being named in HHGG and his character was thinly disguised in the subsequent book and TV series as ‘Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings.’ David Thomas, a friend of both men, told me: “Although Paul was miffed by Douglas’ epithet he was also amused.

		Bits of flesh dropped off them from Time to time.
		Paul Neil Milne Johnstone is the actual poet Adams originally insulted, but after some higher up’s dissaproval the name was forever changed to Paula Nacy Millsone Jennings.
		And if Brianna Ocampo had any real brains she would’ve actually checked the poet’s name on the poem she qouted, although the poem itself was the one Adams showed his appaul for.

		Yes, I know Paul was unbearably pompous for a 19-year old.
		Poor Paul will now forever be known as the worst poet in the Universe.
