I have what I _think_ is an annotation, though it is somewhat obscure so
I may well be imagining it :-)  [Someone may already have mentioned this,
we're on a 3-day expire and I occasionally miss postings :-(]

The ancient warrior queen Ynci is clearly modelled on Boudicca (who led
a British rebellion against the Romans).   However it was later that I
realised that Boudicca's husband was the ruler of the tribe called the Iceni,
which is almost Ynci backwards.

So, is this a real reference or just coincidence?

Oh, the thread has been all round the world by now and is starting to go
mouldy.  It's just that we thought TP was trying to give us a little
glimpse into his *true* past - not that barrel of non-truths that passes
for a blurb - in fact, Terry was born on a small farm in Bendigo, but he
was brought up by a swallow that migrated to the UK where he now lives.

Well I qualify, then, never having lived anywhere else. :-)

The doggerel is spoken around here with the word 'wake' instead of thick 
(strong i'th'yarm 'n wake i'th'yead) but there's the rub. Wake could be 
(a)wake or weak, as both would end up with a similar pronunciation.

Yeah, what about it? Doesn't ring any bells to *me*.

Sometimes I get the feeling that just because I edit the APF people
are kinda assuming that I am either a Master of Trivia or,
alternatively, an Educated Pillar of Culture, who needs only half a
word or a vague hint in order to run off and add a five-paragraph
essay to the APF on the subject in question.

But in fact, folks, I started the APF because *I* was the one who
didn't understand three-quarters of Terry's references :-)


BTW, as long as I'm posting: the LaTeX version of the APF is coming
along *very* nicely -- if I do say so myself. This evening I'll
start shopping around the net for ftp-servers. Anybody know of a
particularly good one?

The figgin gags take quite a bit in the way of footnotes, which would

One book everyone seems to be missing off TP bibliographies is the
compilation of computer-based short stories 'Digital Dreams'. TP is
the most well-known contributor ( his name is featured VERY 
prominantly on the cover ) but all of the stories are worth a read.
Mostly by previously unheard-of writers.

BTW - If TP reads this : Are there any plans for a similar thing with
Diskworld short stories ( ie. compilation of shorts by various authors
all based around the Diskworld ) ? If so, any chance of giving everyone
on the net a nod. I'm sure there's a few of us out here with literary 
aspirations :-). 

NB:
==========
To all who don't know already ! 
TP asked that anyone who puts up any story ideas on the net *PLEASE*
put a note on the message-line so he DOESN'T read them. The legal 
implications of writing a book and them a week before its finished seeing 
someone else broadcast a similar idea would make your head spin !
(The idea above ( IMHO ) doesn't count 'case it's pretty obvious and it's
almost certainly been mooted already.)

Merry Christmas to all.

Not specifically the net, but somewhere in Witches Abroad, when Nanny Ogg
and Granny are in the clock tower, Casanuda (the dwarf) tries to say
something to one of them. The reaction is something like:

   She ignored the low level interruption.

Definately a computer oriented joke.

Nor that one, neither under "work" nor "housework", but I'm positive
I've heard it before.

Other points from my first article:

 We dare not go a-hunting for fear of little men"

            13  Bristol Redgrave Theatre

These guys are working under all the constraints of fringe theatre --
evaporating venues and so on.  My advice to anyone thinking of travelling to
one of these would be to ring Flying Thing's base:  051-707-2229

It is more or less certain that there will be a full-cast production of MORT
in Bristol by ANOTHER group at the end of April next year.  I'll post details
when I know them.
