Nope.  In my opinion, the best of Tolkien's books was "The Hobbit."  I didn't
care for the others.  And as a devoted reader of Pynchon, Burroughs, and 
Joyce, I'd say that I know how to read "literature" (whatever that word
means).

	As I understand it, JRRT started off as a linguist and went down
from there.  He wanted to use a language that he developed, so he wrote the
Lord of the Rings.

Yeah, it is a quite common expression from traditional folktales.  In fact, the
only ones I can think of right now that are more common to the ones I'm familiar
with, are "Once upon a time..." and "...they lived happily ever after."

Given that TCOM means "The Colour of Magic" (BTW: is that "The Color of Magic" on the otherside of the pond?). S MUST mean "Sourcery", just as R must mean "Reaperman".

The answer to the question is via a rather expensive (but well worth reading) book called "Eric" (which should incidentally be abbreviated in the system to E, presumably related to the "Recreational Substance" in common use hereabouts?).

Sorry, no cigar. 

The references are:- 	TLF P.109 (Corgi Paperback)
			RM P.269 (Corgi Paperback)

Without tediously quoting them, if you read closely, each reference discusses
*a* or *the* diamond (note singular). The RM reference calls it 'The Tear of
Offler' and neither makes any reference to eyes. However, having given them
a second read I am willing to entertain the possibility that there is more
than one great statue of Offler and that each once possessed a fabulously
large diamond. Furthermore, do you really think that Cohen would have gone
to all the trouble of defeating the snake warriors of the witch lord of
S'belinde only to steal ONE of a PAIR of diamonds? And where does it say
how many eyes Offler has?

As a postscript, does the fact that Offler is depicted weeping i.e. with
a tear, have any relevance? Is this something to do with the phrase
"crocodile tears", or am I, as I suspect, plumbing new depths of subtext
of which the author was previously unaware :-)

Something like "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" said by
Samuel Johnson? Johnson's dying words are reputed to be "I am tired of
London." - this might be a joke though.

A question. In regard to "extend that far", just exactly how far is it 
from the disc to the sun? a constant, or are there maxima and minima?

This, of course, is basically what Terry's own reaction was when he
first heard of the APF (well ok, he didn't say "I'm just plain funny;
why analyze me?", but he did doubt the usefulness of the venture).

Everytime I get doubts myself, however, I only have to look in my
mailbox, or at threads that spring up after an APF version has been
posted, and they quickly disappear: the response to the APF is
*overwhelming*, and almost uniformly positive -- the only reactions
that could remotely be called 'negative' are a few folks like yourself
who either say "I don't see what use all this is" or "Aren't you
getting a bit carried away in your enthousiasm?".

Finally, I think you're wrong if you're saying that we are analyzing
Terry Pratchett to death. In fact, I have the feeling we are doing
anything but that. A typical APF thread on this group usually starts
with one annotation, and then *very* *quickly* mutates into spirited
discussions about the subject of the annotation itself (i.e. "did Watt
invent the steam engine or not?", "how does the pea & princes fairy
tale go?", "what stories has Larry Niven written?")

After four or five of such articles, the Terry Pratchett connection
has usually completely disappeared.

So no, I don't think we are 'analyzing' too much. Just having fun, I'd
say...

You're mistaken about the intentions behind Radio 5.  As you say, the
Government wants to stop "simulcasting" -- transmission of the same
programmes on more than one waveband.  Radios 2, 3 and 4 all used to
be simulcast, but each would split frequencies at certain times to
carry alternative programmes: sport on Radio 2 MW, ball-by-ball
cricket on Radio 3 MW, and educational programmes on Radio 4 FM.
Radio 5 was set up (on Radio 2's old MW frequency) to carry a
combination of all these programmes, along with children's programmes.
(The BBC subsequently did a U-turn over the cricket and moved it to
Radio 3 FM.)  Thus it was intended as a "sport and education" network
from the outset.

What's happened recently is that the football Premier League has come
into existence and struck a deal with Sky Television whereby matches
are screened live on Sunday afternoons and Monday evenings.  This
means that Radio 5's football coverage has expanded to five days a week
(two afternoons and three evenings), which is why it seems as though
the network is dominated by football at the moment.  Some children's
programmes have been displaced and moved to early evening slots.
The network controller claims that more children are listening at this
time anyway.

Both Witches Abroad and Small Gods are available in the Ottawa
Public Library, but I have yet to see them in *any* stores. They
are the Hardback editions.

Funny things is, I purchased the paperback edition of Good Omens
and never actually saw a hardback version beforehand. I also have
seen the paperback version of Eric and the Illustrated version as
well.

The importing of the DW books makes absolutely no sense to me here
