Yeay!!! If you need transport around the East Coast, there's afew of us spread
about.  But as long as you're going to be in the states why not see if you
can set up other things...

Read the Annotated Pratchett File (currently at v4.0, but v5.0 due out
Real Soon Now), available for anonymous ftp from theory.lcs.mit.edu 
(18.52.0.92) in the file pub/dmjones/annotated-pratchett.

In it you'll find, amongst other things:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE HEDGEHOG SONG

Michael Green's book "Why was he born so beautiful and other Rugby songs"
(1967, Sphere UK) contains a song called "The Sexual Life of the Camel",
(possibly dating back to the 1920s/30s), which goes:

        The carnal desires of the camel
        Are stranger than anyone thinks,
        For this passionate but perverted mammal
        has designs on the hole of the Sphinx,
        But this deep and alluring depression
        Is oft clogged by the sands of the Nile,
        Which accounts for the camel's expression
        And the Sphinx's inscrutable smile.

        In the process of Syphilization
        From the anthropoid ape down to man
        It is generally held that the Navy
        Has buggered whatever it can.
        Yet recent extensive researches
        By Darwin and Huxley and Ball
        Conclusively prove that the hedgehog 
        Has never been buggered at all.

        And further researches at Oxford
        Have incontrovertibly shown
        That comparative safety on shipboard
        Is enjoyed by the hedgehog alone.
        But, why haven't they done it at Spithead,
        As they've done it at Harvard and Yale
        And also at Oxford and Cambridge
        By shaving the spines off its tail!

A good tip. 'Predator' movies are also hunting grounds.

I myself saw myself sitting in a parked car in Weston-super-Mare recently,
but I realised that it couldn't be me _because I happened to know I wasn't in

Yep.  That one I got from some way out vegetarian stuff I read years ago, and

and rejoiced when I heard the line.  God, I wish I'd seen the film before I'd

someone creep up behind them with a banana...

Of course, it'd be even worse if you weren't on horseback...

   If fact there are many conventions in the UK.   They vary from
the serious (well nearly), as exemplified by Mexicon, to the
very silly (no names....  :-)).
   If you can get to the Andromeda Bookshop in Brum you should
find info on a lot of these cons.   AFAIK the bookshop often takes
a stall to the major ones.

No, that wasn't you. I know it wasn't because I didn't see you. I was in
Sussex at the time but I have it on good authority that I was also in
Weston-super-Mare at the same time. Or something.

Or perhaps you were just practicing for when the "Aliens vs Predator" movie

I had an email from Rick Dilorenzo ont his subject and it probably should be
answered generally:

The Canadian rights situation was/is a real mess.  Originally Corgi had them
-- and everything was fine.   I enjoyed working with them.  Then I signed the
Big Contract with Corgi and Gollancz, which was quite complex.  Don't ask me
how they managed it, but Corgi actually signed away the Canadian rights from
Wyrd Sisters to Witches Abroad to Roc/NAL, in a contract which they
themselves had helped put together.  I've not been happy with Roc's progress
in Canada, so Small Gods onwards is back with Corgi.

Roc have got as far as Reaper Man.  That's the latest title anywhere in North
America.  But I assume that Small Gods in paperback will be available in
Canada soon after UK publication in May, and Canadians will be in the same
posotion as Australians and New Zealanders.

Until I get hardback publication in the US then people will always be
complaining about not getting new titles, which is why I'm moving to
HarperCollins in the US.  I don't know their planned publication schedule;
I'll be talking to them about it next month.

I don't think either are yet, since Witches Abroad only came out at the
same time as Lords and Ladies (which is worth buying in hardback - just
ask my mate who's copy I borrowed) which was not long ago. We've a while

I am told by my Pratchett spotting friends that a good Pratchett spotting 
guide is essential for this activity. It should include plentiful diagrams,
(front, back and side views of assorted Pratchetts), an index of the 
Pratchett identification numbers (usually found on the badge worn on 
the right upper front) and maps of bookstores/theatres where various 
Pratchetts may be spotted. Oh and of course plenty of space to record
what Pratchetts you have spotted and the location of the spotting. 

It may be a bit pricey, but I understand that the yearly edition of
Jane's All the Worlds Pratchetts is quite useful, especially when the
spotted Pratchett may be employing a disguise.
 
Of course, the hobby of Pratchett spotting has declined greatly since the
the Pratchett Nationalization Act of 1962. Still the hobbyists exist and
many work hard to preserve the "sport." 

I believe there may be a group in Sussex that is endeavoring to bring back
the live steam Pratchetts.

I read it I read it!!!!

Due to having returned to a certain place after Christmas, I found that
a number of book stores have 20% off all books. Went to said bookstore
and bought Lords and Ladies and Small Gods. The first was for me, the 
second was to replace somebodies copy that I lost.

While my g/f was watching various silly things on telly, I read Lords 
and Ladies. Eventually she got up and left, because she couldn't hear
the telly over my giggling.

Lords and Ladies is great :) I nearly had a seizure when Greebo defies
quantum theory. Much much much wanted return to comedy + story :P::)_

If you don't read this one, you nuts.

I was playing a RPG, and a character was using a jar of coffee as his
holy symbol, to drive away Undead. Strange people.
