h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

no, nothing. I even searched in google.

I think part of the joke is that they all only have titles, not names (except Mustrum Ridcully) that gets important in the Last Continent!

M, that's because you're so nasty to inncoent leather chickens

I've obviously been looking in the wrong book anyway, appraently they feature in Nanny Ogg's cookbook

ah yes, there are 3 ridcullys about.

ooo, what does everyone think about the "thing" between Granny Weatherwax and the Archchancellor?

That's very funny I think. I only read it in one book by now, but I don't know how it is called in English. It seems to be one of the earlier ones, a girl gets the stick of a wizard. "Das Erbe des Zauberers" the heritage of the wizzard it is called in German.

Equal rites. So where does that plot-line turn up in equal rites?, i can't remember.* takes a look*

ooo, i don't remember any of this! Cutangle was Archchancellor then, yet he does ask her out to dinner at the end, lol, but I meant Ridcully. He goes to Lancre for some reason and they end up talking, and Granny thinks about the other Esmes who might've settled with him in parallel universes.

I really have to re-read these. But re-reading TP would be like signing a substantial part of the year away, lol.

Ps. it's a Staff, not a stick

thanks!

Oh yes, now I remember, it wasn't Ridcully at all. Funny. Maybe it's not the man but only the profession?

She obviously has a thing for magical men of high status Well, why set your standards lower? However, as far as I can work out, it was Cutangle doing all the chasing in Equal Rites

Where's our expert Dmitri? He may remember what I'm talking about.

oo something to say...wht was it? Oh yes. If you had the opportunity to travel to the Discworld, where would you go first and why?

I think I'd go to the university. Why? Must be a great building.

If you stay out of the Archchancellor's bathroom (designed by BS Johnson). Especially when the Librarian's playing the organ.

That was great! The whole book long you ask: what's wrong with the bathroom; and then...

Actually, I would like to know more about the students at UU. The stories are skewed to the viewpoint of the faculty. (I've been both.) Except, of course, for Rincewind. I kind of like Rincewind. I think there's a little bit of him in all of us.

I've only read one book with something about the students. There was a bit in Moving Pictures, but not much.

I haven't read much Rincewing yet, only The Colour of Magic, in the others he was of minor importance.

Where on Discworld whould you go first?

Ueberwald! Some of my best friends are vampires (though they are all Black Ribboners, of course!).

I only know hobbits and elves.. well one elf.
..oh, but one could be a discworld-witch in fact.

That's true. One of TP's most appealing traits is his respect for women's rights.

Oh yes. That's something I don't like in many books, when women are only there to be rescued by the hero.

And he isn't preachy about it. It's often just indirect, as when Carrot goes around 'armed with a loaded werewolf'. Angua's the real threat in that couple.

There was also one sentence of one of the witches, which was especially good, but I can't remember now.
