Anyone any ideas? I've read Wintersmith so many times I can just about quote bits by heart & it's too soon to re-read all the others

I've got an UU scarf somewhere, and a prefect badge from the school of Assassins

My dad gets the new discworld release every Christmas- me & lil bruv take turns getting it. One year neither of us got him it & my poor dad was devastated - 'til I gave him it for his birthday on Boxing Day heh heh heh

Have you all seen the stuff on the Paul Kidby site BTW - I've got the Feeglespotting t-shirt & it's fab!

Cheapest I can find the dvd is £12.69 from SendIt. Will give it another month or so and then I'll check dvdpricecheck again. I've a lot to pay for this month, so maybe buying a dvd isn't a good plan:/

My dh is a mega pratchett fan with a birthday very handily just after the new books are released. guess what dh gets every year without fail

LordVetinari · 23/04/2007 17:37

I definitely need that DVD

LilRedWG · 23/04/2007 17:36

Hogfather at Christmas was great - recorded it and watched it twice

LilRedWG · 23/04/2007 17:33

Ooo - need a new TP name I think! Am huge fan but have a thing against hardbacks (I always drop them in the bath or on my head when reading in bed) so always wait for the paperbacks to come out!

FoulOlRon · 23/04/2007 17:29

It's out agnes, I seen it advertised.

fryalot · 23/04/2007 17:28

I think it came out this week, or last week.

FoulOlRon · 23/04/2007 17:27

I'm very upset that Magrat had gone when I joined MN. I have never seen her post either...

agnesnitt · 23/04/2007 17:21

I missed it

Need to buy the dvd methinks.

fryalot · 23/04/2007 17:14

I thought the hogfather was fab, I was just a bit disappointed that I couldn't find the blardy book beforehand to catch up before I watched it.

And dp asking stoopid questions didn't exactly help either "how can death be alive?" and "how can death have a grand-daughter?"

In the end, I sent him to bed

belgo · 23/04/2007 16:57

I thought the Hogfather was great. Susan and Teatime were extremely good actors. The actor who played Rincewind was a bit of a disappointment.
It's made me want to read the book again.

That's the thing, I have only ever lent out one so have only had to replace one. I am sure they'll turnip when they feel like it.

fryalot · 23/04/2007 16:33

am loving these names, btw, and wishing I'd thought of a pratchett themed name for myself when I joined!

You always lend out your best books. If I had every book I'd actually lent to others, I would have every Pratchett book twice. At least.

I've met him a couple of times at signings and he's been lovely. In incredible pain with arm cramps the first time granted, but he was still marvellous.

I have actually met Terry Pratchett.

Miserable bugger.

Had jacket potato for lunch, but was very monosyllabic.

agnesnitt · 23/04/2007 00:14

I have just tried to find all my Pratchett... Most of it is missing!

About three quarters of my books are AWOL, and considering I own everything but the last two Tiffany Aching books, that's a lot of missing Discworld!

I also brought Where's My Cow saying to dh
it was to read to our LO.

Thankfully she does like me reading it to her, but it wouldn't have made a difference if she hadn't!

Adorabelle · 20/04/2007 21:04

Until 2 years i'd never had any inclination
of reading Pratchett.

My other half then showed me the light

I read Colour of Magic first & was instantly hooked. Thought Thud was Ace & I agree totally with the person who has a soft spot for Sam Vimes, I too am an admirer

Going Postal is my favourite to date, but I have to admit I have many books of his huge back catalouge to get through. Love the Nac Mac Feegels and Mr Pump.

agnesnitt · 20/04/2007 20:38

I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of MM... I thought Thud! was quite poor by PTerry's standards, but then I'm starting to feel a little bored by the Watch.

(who now expects to be shot for the heresy of being fed up of the Watch)

Not yet - I did make slumpie one time & it was disastrous I just accepted that I'm not much of a cook & had fun reading the notes on etty-ket instead. I might have a go at a strawberry wobbler sometime tho'

The Inferiorettes request Where's My Cow at bedtime.
