Yeah, I'm a Pratchett nut, how'd you guess?

Welcome fellow Pratchett fan. I loved you in Feet of Clay.
Just finished the Last Pratchett book, it left me sad. I may have to read them all again. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

I'm curious, what constitutes a 'precarious' job?

Discworld has already quite effortlessly become my favourite book series of all time Personal favourite is Night Watch, I also like the Tiffany Aching series, and any other book featuring Granny Weatherwax as a main character. Oh, and don't forget the Science of... books. Though given that you've started in order, may be best to continue that way. You'll see the evolution in style and philosophy better. @Boru: Welcome! Which bit of Ireland? I was bread and buttered in Ballymena, went to uni at Belfast and (later) Dublin. You must be replete of waffles. Have a toffee rat, my compliments... Boru Limerick, your original stomping ground. I take my rat with mustard only unfortunately.

I got drunk and then into a fight.
Up ran a copper With manners improper And a uniform covered in shite.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

His passing was a shame
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
