Well, I guess it depends on the convention, the people there, and your 
attitude towards them.  The most important rule in going to cons is to not
take them too seriously.  Some cons are primarily social events with a few
seminars and other official stuff.  Try a few and see if you like them...
If not, there's always a place for you on the net.

Well, according to the spotter, the lesser bearded Pratchett is

Ok, thinking latterally.  The most common hard drug (or at least, one of them)
in the middle ages was opium.  Now this grows naturally and is specially
extracted from opium poppies in order to make the required drug.  So all
we have to do is find an equivalent in the more igneous realms.

What immediately springs to mind is coral.  It grows, can be cultivated,
is sufficiently different from other types of calcium rocks that it couldn't
really be made properly any other way and it's common enough in the right areas
to be of use.  Also it's a pretty colour!

The idea of troll drug pushers being jewlers is also silly enough to be
worthwhile.

The only other way to make a troll high is with a winch.

Hi there!  

I haven't yet had much chance to read much of your books -- I can't quite get
a hand in quick enough to grab a copy as they go past from friend to friend ...

You may have run into a friend of mine from RMIT by the name of Stuart Reeh ...
Collective groan?  No no ... not a bit of it!  ;)

Anyway: Stuart and I are both members of choirs in Melbourne (Australia), and
someone suggested trying to put "The Hedgehog that couldn't be buggered" into
choral parts.  At this point I'd just like to say that one of our members has
already put "Stairway to Heaven" into a four part harmony in Latin, so I think
we can handle it!

The only problem is, or so I'm told, is that never more than a few lines appear,
scattered all over the DW books.  Now, is there a full copy of it, and if so, 
may we borrow it for a while?

TIA, Malcolm

It's a lot older than "Beverly Hills Cop 1".  That factoid is one of the
main propaganda statistics that radical vegetarians like to quote in order to
gross people out and get them to stop eating meat.  It's a cliche of veganism.

Did you know that the average vegetarian has about 5 pounds of undigested
rotting vegetable matter in his intestines?

Really?

According to Bookwatch, who compile the basic lists, it was No 6.  That was
the list published in the Bookseller.  Small Gods was No 8 in the hardcovers.

This posting merely in the interests of accuracy...but I wouldn't mind

Just to put in my tuppence ( and let anyone who cares know that I'm back
from Xmas hols - Santa DID bring me a signed L+L !!! )...

Until recently I was starting to become a little .... bored with the DW
series. Pyramids was the start of the downward slide, G!G! and RM I
couldn't STAND ! ( Don't bother flaming, this is just my opinion ). They
were just getting too smug in their humor.

However, I gave the series one last chance with Witches Abroad. Hurrah !
Back to the old DW I knew and loved. Enjoyable characters, GOOD stories,
well observed relationships between characters, FUNNY jokes. Glad to see
L+L is just as good.

Am I alone in this ?

One "nice" chemical would be Arsenic, as that is one of the substanses used in
altering semiconductors to make computers... Talk about a "mind-altering"
substances... :-)

I nice pun in Swedish, that unfortunately does not translate, is that
"dopa" means both implanting chemical substances into semiconductors and
taking drugs...

Otherwise, the kinds of impurities in silicon and germanium that makes it
impossible to make semiconducors out of them, are often metals.
