This is easy to explain. Your jetlag is a result of passing through
the discontinuity in the Monarchy field. Therefore you should include
NZ as a stopover when visiting the US but not Canada.

By the way, NZ is not "down under." Think about it. Dirt sinks in
water, and ice floats. Where is most of the ice in the world?
Antarctica. Where is most of the dirt? In the northern hemisphere.
Antarctica is the top of the world. Quite Easily Done.

Well, it's not very good for the individual dragon, of course, but it
really only need happen once or twice before the soft-hearted (headed?)
human gets the idea that swamp dragons need to be coddled, and
protected, and fed the very best dainties, and given nice places to
sleep, and that sort of thing. Sort of how one of my cats discovered
that he could change from being an outside only cat to being an inside
only cat by getting hurt and needing to be taken care of, so one day he
developed a rather pronounced limp for no reason the vet could find, and
is now a total inside cat who gets to eat expensive food because he gets
FUS. Huh. Maybe he's a swamp dragon in fur.

Ade --

Answering you in public will probably get me banished from alt.fan.tp 
forever but I'm a big Tom Holt fan and I think he is enough like TP to
deserve mention in this group (okay, okay, no where near as good, I'll 
admit, but we Americans are easily seduced by British wit and humor in 
fantasy writing).  

He has written three humorous fantasy novels:  "Expecting 
Someone Taller", "Who's Afraid of Beowulf?" and "Flying Dutchman."  
Personally, I would rank them  in ascending order, i.e. I thinking he's 
getting better with each one.  Each of his books involve some form of 
mythical beings interacting with our modern world:  the gods from the 
ring trilogy, norsemen, and finally the Flying Dutchman and his crew 
(with some interesting explanations about how they got that way).  
If you want to start with one book, by all means read "Flying Dutch";  it 
even has a cat in it (not Greebo, no cat could begin to rival Greebo!).

White Dwarf books at 4374 W10th Vancouver (604) 228-8223
have both Eric, and Reaperman available. I think Eric is the only
one completely unavailable in the US. Be warned though, it's
very funny but it's quite slim. Fortunately Vancouver has other

Well, *I* have heard him say in a talk that in "Moving Pictures" he wanted
to kill Gaspode. But the publishers wouldn't let him.

Looks like are favourite Happy Author has a definite thing for killing
off his main characters...

[ And I *still* say, to reopen an old,  pre-Pratchett a.f.p. discussion, that
  "Moving Pictures" very clearly builds up to Gaspode's death, and that
  it would have made a much better ending. Gaspode is one of Terry's
  most tragi-comic characters, and he deserved to die. Reverting him to
  normal doghood was actually a pretty lousy thing to do to him, in my 
  opinion. ]

Scarpered = buggered off sharpish, done a runner, skedaddled,
            made himself scarce.

:-)

On the same lines, do you Americans have the passage in Pyramids (which
I've just re-re-re-re-read and which is hence my current favourite),
just after Teppic leaves the Symposium, which goes:

    "A favourite trick of Ephebian gods ... was turning into some animal
    or other in order to gain the favours of highly-placed Ephebian
    women. And one of them had reputedly turned himself into a golden
    shower in pursuit of his intended. All this raised interesting
    questions about everyday night life in sophisticated Ephebe."

Is US slang different enough that that one got past the censors ? Or
is it only my perverted mind that sees anything in it ? (Requests for
explanations to alt.sex.bizarre ;-))

The bit of Chinese was Neil's.  I said, 'Are you sure it means Do you speak
Chinese?'  He said yes.  I should argue?

I did the Device/Gizmo etc bit in five minutes, simply because Device IS a
name associated with witchcraft in England and everything went red for a
moment and I just started to free-associate.

But I can't see anyone sensible going through a book like GO and producing a
long endnote with things like: Yes, there was a Witchfinder General but there
was no such thing as a witchfinder army AND Yes, the Wicked Bibles did exist,
but there was no Bugger-all-this Bible AND Dick Turpin was a famous English
highwayman... I'd say most of the things in GO that aren't obvious lies are
true. In fact I had some trouble with the fact that the English were
notorious unenthusiastic about burning witches.  I suppose ours were too
soggy.

Yes, I said 0800-CASH was a confusion of telephone styles and the view was
that, right, it makes it transatlantic.

Just an aside...I remember putting down The Anubis Gates after Powers had a
character referring to 'city blocks' in early 19th Century London...and when

I get enough emails about Men At Arms to suggest that people don't read
alt.fan.pratchett that often so I'll repeat:  Yes, it IS a 'sort of' sequel
to Guards! Guards!   It's called Men At Arms because, well, none of the major
characters are men -- there's a recruiting drive spearheaded with the
following poster:

'"Be a MAN in the City Watch!  The City Watch needs MEN!"

But what it's GOT includes Corporal Carrot (technically a dwarf),
Lance-constable Cuddy (really a dwarf), Lance-constable Detritus
(a troll) Lance-constable Angua (a woman) and Corporal Nobbs
(disqualified from the human race for shoving).

You'll note from the above that the Night Watch has adopted an affirmative
action hiring policy.

And, yes, it will include the assassination of the Patrician (well...weapons
will be fired [Was the assassin on the roof of the Library? Or did it come
from the Plaza of Broken Moons?...]

And in all probability some cherry pie that'll kill ya and some damn fine
coffee...

I've just heard from Cosgrove Hall that the full-length Truckers film will be
shown at the Chicago Film Festival.  I don't right now know when that is, but
I've got the imrpession that it's in the fairly near future.

Er - I'm a mammal, and I have a spine. I'd rather not be buggered, but
that still doesn't make me a hedgehog. :-)

Porcupines have quills. I don't think that hedgehog prickles are quills
- they're much softer, less sharp, and aren't shed. Their main use is to
deterr attackers rather than to hurt them, and for cushioning falls (try
dropping a hedgehog - they bounce.)
