...taxes, but it does make an entirely voluntary donation to the city amounting to $200 per capita per annum, under the kind agreement of Lord Vetinari. (I can't remember the exact book this is referenced in, but you'll know it if you find it) [2] seven buckets in the case of Rincewind (see The...

You may be right =Tamar. :) In which case the quote is on page 15 (Corgi paperback). Moist is talking to Mr Wilkinson, the warder after trying to tunnel through the cell wall.

The surrender wouldn't have happened. Klatch would have invaded, would have destroyed the Watch, and most likely all of the AM militias, since none of them were in any way prepared for real war. Vetinari would never have been in a position where he would have been able to surrender under the...

No, I don't like Charles Dance as Lord Vetinari. Whilst very good at cold and chilling, a) he wasn't dark haired, b) not thin enough c) just not right! Now, Richard Armitage, for example...... :drool:

Re: 2013 WRITER OF THE YEAR 43 Lord Vetinari. I do fancy Havelock Havelock Vetinari! The sexiest guy since Han Solo. I am very jealous of Dame Margolotta because I am certain she gets more than a game of Thud!. And that’s just not fair. My admiration whimpers wistfully at Lord Vetinari’s dark...

Its a spin off from Unseen Academicals. The book Sam sr read Sam jr is where's my cow. Sam at one point tries to adapt it from the rural to the Urban and this is what the published version is based on. Its fun and well drawn :D

I haven't read that.But is it part of the Discworld series?

Just finished Where's my Cow? Oh I do love that book! :lol: :lol: Beautifully drawn and I love the version of Lord Vetinari.

...the late Margaret John ( :( ), Owen Teale, and Iain Glen. And of course there's Sean Bean, Lena Headey and Peter Vaughn. And Charles 'Lord Vetinari/Tulkinghorn' Dance is in it later as Tywin Lannister. I love playing 'spot the actor' in these shows. The episode itself...I have to say that...

There just has to be a place for Benedict Cumberbatch somewhere. If only he was a bit older I could see him as Vetinari. MongoGutman, I like Robbie Coltrane for Fred! But I'm not sure about Robert Carlisle for Moist - I always see Moist as having one of those inoffensively handsome but fairly...

I think the quotes I gave ARE the reason. Pastor Oates found a small colony of surviving orcs in Far Uberwald and told Margolotta about them - she decided (partly through altruism but perhaps partly also to relieve the boredom of immortality - she is a pretty ancient vampire, after all.) to see...

i think vimes is one of the best thought out characters. the relationship between him and lord Lord Vetinari is great. he has always thought of himself as a man of the street. haveing to fight for everything. but now finds himself one of the most powerfull people in the city. it is his unease...

Exactly who I have in mind when I read him (Rickman I mean - I always hear Vimes as Philip Jackson on account of the radio production

I read that Sir T pictured Pete Poselthwaite when he created Sam Vimes and that he would like Alan Rickman to play Lord Vetinari.

I recently bought Nanny Ogg's Cookbook, and have just read and reviewed it. I'd also like this thread to be an unofficial discussion thread of this book, and the other diaries/almanaks if possible. I posted this review elsewhere, but I'm reposting it here to kick things off.

i think that in the unlikely event that Vetinari would die/need to be replaced, terry would create a totally new character not use an existing one. I feel that none of the candidates would be very good as ruler of AM, because they so suit the roles that they are in now. Having said that...

...was the coup de grace, but it's jarring, albeit pleasantly, after seeing Foy play Amy Dorrit in Little Dorrit), and Charles Dance IS Lord Vetinari. And Steve Pemberton as Drumknott...now there's some good casting. But they should have kept the stylish piratical nature of Gilt. David Suchet...

Think it's either from Colour of Magic or Guards! Guards! i remember reading it that's how i thought to look for it online. It was in a passage describing how Vetinari set up the guild system and then waited for all of the guild leaders (and members) to get comfortable with their new lives. He...

I don't remember that quote. Where was it from? Anyone, he may have just been talking about one of them. :) It just seems in general that at least some of the more prominent guild members live in the guilds. Dr. Whiteface seems to have permanent lodgings in the Fool's Guild, and you never...

...still managed to get Meerkat and 3 other 'volunteers' aka saps to do an on the fly Mock the Week-esque Political Translation skit for Lord Vetinari and CMOT Dibbler respectively, a very silly pictionary style round and a few very scary Just a Minute rounds. Werewolf was played...
