Loonquawl - Old Thrashbarg

Old Thrashbarg

Old Thrashbarg first appears in the novel Mostly Harmless, as a sort of priest on Lamuella, the planet on which Arthur becomes the Sandwich-Maker. He worships "Bob" and is often ignored by his villagers. Whenever he is questioned about Almighty Bob he merely describes him as "ineffable." No one on Lamuella knows what this means, because Thrashbarg owns the only dictionary, and it is "the ineffable will of Almighty Bob" that he keeps it to himself. When someone sneaked into his house while he was out having a swim, "ineffable" was defined in the dictionary as "unknowable, indescribable, unutterable, not to be known or spoken about".

In fit the twenty-fifth of the radio series and fit the twenty-sixth of the radio series Old Thrashbarg is voiced by Griff Rhys Jones.
