I keep my signed books in plastic bags on the top shelf and tell my family that if I pop my clogs not to throw them away because they are my legacy , they are only taken out for special stroking occasions Wink

CMOTDibbler · 06/08/2014 20:06

I have hardbacks and kindle editions. And the Tony Robinson audio books of most of them.

Does anyone else's DH get annoyed when you read TP in bed? I can't read it without giggling every few minutes, which apparently joggles the mattress in an irritating sleep-defying manner...

I wanted one but all the ones I could think of were already take.

I tried to get my dh to read the books but it's slow going. He just doesn't really get them

Ilovemydogandmydoglovesme · 06/08/2014 20:21

I need a TP nickname.

I've got some lovely Discworld pinbadges somewhere.

And a fantastic framed print of the witches in the pub. Nanny Ogg is dancing on the table. It's from Wyrd Sisters.

Thcrapth · 06/08/2014 20:26

yes! I buy the paperbacks to read and the hardbacks to stroke!

paperbacks in a shocking state but I lub em!

MavolioBent · 06/08/2014 20:42

Oh yes have had to replace a few Discworld books after they disintergrated through over use Blush

Littlegreyauditor · 06/08/2014 20:57

[shimmers into existence]

It's very disorderly in here. Messy. I must fix that. Grin

Can I suggest Myria LeJean as a name for one of you?

VisitTheInfidelWithExplanatoryPamphlets · 06/08/2014 21:01

hellooo

AnathemaIsANiceNameForAGirl · 06/08/2014 21:03

I still have most of my 20-year-old paperbacks, with my name written inside in my curly preteen handwriting Smile

I always liked the name Myria! Very pretty Grin

Nanny0gg · 06/08/2014 21:22

Nanny Ogg is dancing on the table.

Nanny0gg · 06/08/2014 21:23

Anyone else really like the Carpet People?

Kickassandlollipops · 06/08/2014 21:28

Your not going to start singing the hedgehog song are you NannyOgg? Feeling inspired May Nc to the Dark Morris .

CMOTDibbler · 06/08/2014 21:31

Oh, the wizards staff has a knob on the end...

Anyone for a sausage inna bun?

Kickassandlollipops · 06/08/2014 21:38

Oh this is getting good , am cracking open the scumble, anyone join me for a thimble full?

BruthasTortoise · 06/08/2014 21:43

Feel free to bow down to me, I'm quite busy really, have many a heretic to smite.

SnapeAndLily · 06/08/2014 22:02

I love The Carpet People - I read it before I got into Discworld as a late teen. Even now I feel guilty hoovering...

RaisingSteam · 06/08/2014 22:04

just a few of us
I tried a GrannyWeatherwax one once but everyone assumed I WAS a granny.

Mim78 · 06/08/2014 22:07

I didn't get vetinari until someone told me. Also didn't get brother brutha as i was pronouncing it brootha in my head.

Is the name of the island in jingo also a joke as I never got that one either?

My favourite sub group is the watch but I also identify quite a lot with nanny ogg.

Might go for a name change now but can't think of anything clever!

colleysmill · 06/08/2014 22:09

I use hogfather at festive times of the year.

It's the only book I've read though Blush

CarcerDun · 06/08/2014 22:10

I listen to TP to help me get to sleep every night.

Moist is my favourite.

I think I might NC to SoftNelly, though....
