"Thud" and "Where's my cow" have already been pre-ordered in the Muck household!

I knew there were some fellow fans out there! LOL!

Twiglett and SoupDragon are too, from a thread today. And so is Mr LGJ, I believe?

'Don't let my fire go out' collection box at the Ankh-Morpork sanctuary for sick dragons always makes me smile ? and the hedgehog song. Bet MN could come up with some entertaining verses for that.

Granny Weatherwax rules in the cheesey household.

MI's a fan too, this thread should fetch her out.

In fact, I'd quite happily vote for Vetinari and Vimes as joint rulers of the known world. As long as they asked Granny Weatherwax for permission, of course.

I live in the city which ankh morpork is allegedly based on (in the shades, no less ). not sure if thats just local legend but there is a bookshop in town with a furry ginger man who is supposed to be the inspiration for the librarian and they always have lots of signed terry pratchett stuff in there

One man, one vote, Vetinari was the man, he had the vote - love that system of democracy!

What was the first TP you read? Mine was Mort - loved it! Death's a great character - love The Grim Reaper too.

Dh made me read The Light Fantastic. I really, really didn't want to. Cover looked very suspicious. Thought it was going to be sub-Tolkein rubbish. But he nagged and nagged and nagged and nagged - bless him, it's one of the very few times I've had to admit I was wrong and he was right.

I want more witches - when is he going to write another Weatherwax one???

PMSL at all these. Oh God, I'm going to have to pack them all in my suitcase for next week's holiday. Shall I leave out ds's nappies to make room?

Yeah, definitely! Nappies are a luxury, TP books are a necessity!

God, a Pratchett clique of women who are prepared to sacrifice their babies' behinds in the search for truth, dignity and the Ankh-morporkian way.... what a frightening prospect we are!

Do you think Terry should be very, very afraid? Maybe we should have an MN flashmob at a signing somewhere...
