If only I could.....

Yeah, I feel that way myself... it's too expensive and too far away...

Yep, me too, and I live in the UK as well!

Peter aka Krans Posted Feb 12, 2002
I do live in the UK...
...it's just I don't really have the time to travel very far to get to a convention!

So we're in the same boat then. I have to work 6 days a week, so there's no way of getting further than Exeter for anything really.

You live in the West Country? You lucky person! It's my favourite part of these god-forsaken islands... the only place I like better is the Austrian Alps...
I have the misfortune to live in the Thames Valley.

I do indeed live in the backwaters of North Devon. It's very pretty but useless for any sort of entertainment or shopping. I used to live in Guildford, so unlike most people down here, I actually appreciate the place. It's nice to be able to breathe the air for once.

Hey, I'm totally disillusioned!
I thought the Minister of Idiocy
would at least have offices in Washington DC
and a High Prieast of anything at all
must dwell in a cave
in the Himalayas! Great conversation though and I like the idea of Terry viewing his characters from different perspectives. Best recent character, though it's just for the name and description, is Jeremy Clockson from Thief of Time who really tried to be interesting. Can we deduce from this that Our Tel don't like flash motors?? Oh, and I'm from Kent, no longer a garden, more like a giant patio!

Yeah! Of course I have an office on Whitehall! 
It's just I don't like living in big cities. 
They smell...

I've got the Changing rooms team in at the cave at the mo, so I'm staying here til they're done....

I think I saw some chintz and lace heading that way, so I'm quite worried about it now

I have just finished The Truth...fantastic!
Does anyone know if The Thief of Time is out in paperback in the UK yet?
Being a lowly wizard i cannot afford the hardback version.

Amazon says it's due out in paperback on May 1st. A real wizzard might have said "ook"to his local librarian....

one thought
I got "The Truth" at the Tesco checkout! Slightly cheaper and a day earlier than the due publication date. I don't know if the date was an error but I noticed the price held This may have been at the discretion of the local or regional manager tho.
I also noted it in WH Smiths' at a reduced price when other, older books were on the shelves at the standard (jacket) price.
Our local librarian can be very helpful (Hi Ruraidh)
