hello

Ladymuck · 05/08/2005 22:31

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

hunkermunker · 05/08/2005 22:38

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?

hunkermunker · 05/08/2005 22:41

Night, Twiglett - make sure you wash all the glitter off Realise I seem to be making light of your medical concerns lately and am about it - sorry, my dear!

'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.

Dwarf bread...that cat piss makes it even more appealing to dwarves...

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.

gigglinggoblin · 05/08/2005 22:48

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

edam · 05/08/2005 22:49

An anti-Jamie Oliver school dinner - dwarf bread and CMOT Dibbler sausages.

hunkermunker · 05/08/2005 22:50

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.

edam · 05/08/2005 22:50

ooh, where are you GGG?

gigglinggoblin · 05/08/2005 22:52

lancaster, right next to morcambe.

think mort was my first one aswell, thanks to my little bro bringing in a stack of them to hospital after i had ds1. witches are my fave - love nanny ogg!

edam · 05/08/2005 22:53

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???

colditz · 05/08/2005 22:53

Mine was Soul Music.

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?

hunkermunker · 05/08/2005 22:55

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

OP posts:
Ladymuck · 05/08/2005 22:58

Just buy the nappies when you get there...

edam · 05/08/2005 23:24

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!

hunkermunker · 05/08/2005 23:25

Oh, we're hardline TP fans, Edam Not for the maybes, this clique

edam · 05/08/2005 23:34

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