Yep, Sam Vimes is my hero - him and his cardboard boots. :-bd

I think the best book with them in is Jingo though
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

My favourite is Soul Music, so much so I've started collecting the white metal Discworld miniatures  :D

Hmm...will have to dig that out again...didn't get on with it first time round :-\

Vimes is Pratchett's greatest creation by far...hard, weak and human.  Couldn't get more three dimensional on a piece of paper. :-bd

I dunno...Nanny Ogg is a particular fave as well

Gareth...there are couple of Discworld books I havnt got on with , but I then listened to them as audiobooks and enjoyed them immensely..Hogfather springs to mind as one such book

Breakfast is brown, hot, sweet and liquid.
Unless you're Techno, in which case it's cold.
Potato scones, toast, baked beans, veg sausage, mushrooms, hash browns, tomato, scrambled egg, pancake and maple syrup is brunch :)

What's breakfast ?
Oh...I know.....2 paracetamol and codeine and a heavy duty ibuprofen.....washed down with last night's coffee......Mmmmmm....yummy !! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Sets me up for the morning !  ;)

Yeah...they are all worth a re-read (can't do audio books: I read at warp 9).

Weatherwax for me: dark, deep...human.

It's almost a shame these characters are wrapped up in comic fantasy: they are seriously good :)

I have a particular fondness for Feet of Clay, can't think why. And The Fifth Elephant has Vimes on the back foot but still struggling gamely.

Having spent over twenty years as a librarian all I can say about my favourite character is ... "Ook!"

Next in line, having spent 12 years in IT, has to be Ponder Stibbons. We actually had a system that gave an "Out of Cheese" error if it failed to detect a mouse* :-)

Though if The Luggage and Hex are characters rather than equipment/ furniture I have a tougher choice!

By degrees and miles, how off topic are we at present?  :-\  ;D

Well, what more is there to say about a scoff-card? Other than, more cholesterol, anyone?
