The sad bits...

[Batty]

I occasionally think I might have accidentally had a lobotomy while on holiday.

i cant remember which book its in but granny tells death to take the cow and not the baby

That's actually from Carpe Jugulum.

it also happens in Maskerade which I just read so perhaps it happens more than once? And it definitely happened in Maskerade becuase I am just about to read Carpe Jugulam for the first time

 

[Dotsie]

The two stories are slightly different (as we finally established above ) but I won't say what happened in CJ since you haven't read it yet

 

[Beth]

Ooh we can have a mutual reading (is that illegal?) as I have to reread CJ slowly as I'm making quizzes.

 

[nattheweirdo]

I may have asked this before, but my memory is carp....

.... what is the title of the book that's set in Discworld's version of Egypt?

 

[Tonyblack]

Pyramids. And yes you did.

I was surprised to discover on another site that a lot of people completely missed the fact that the country was called Djelibeybi (Jelly Baby).

I may have asked this before, but my memory is carp....

That sounds a bit fishy to me.

Maybe a herring aid would help.

Her memory's so bad, she'd only mis-plaice it

I was surprised to discover on another site that a lot of people completely missed the fact that the country was called Djelibeybi (Jelly Baby).

That is why this site is better, because people here make an effort. The discussion of "Maurice" on "another site" was pretty lame. Try comparing the two.

 

[Tonyblack]

I have to agree with you there Pooh. I felt like I was flogging a dead horse sometimes.

 

[Beth]

I laugh every time I read that "jelly baby". That's a lot like me missing...and I'm not kidding you...wait for it......seriously wait....Cassanunda. I JUST got that last week on about the 10th or 11th reading of CJ. You know there's SO much that you can't see the forest for the trees sometimes.

I chuckle every time I think of Commander Vimes and the Prince from Klatch about the Honorary Degree of "Sweet Fanny Adams". What book was that from again?

 

[poohbcarrot]

Jingo.

 

[Tina a.k.a.SusanSto.Helit]

Thank you Pooh.

 

[poohbcarrot]

You're welcome Tina

 

[Beth]

Jingo and Pyramids are some of my favorites. Pyramids especially.

 

[Bouncy Castle]

Chuckling over the puns!!

Ah Pyramids. I can vaguely remember laffin myself stoopid on this one.

Sadly, I can't find it. Must have loan'd it out.

Several of my favourite emotional scenes have been mentioned already, but one that hasn't is the scene in Lords and Ladies, when Granny Weatherwax is allowed to see the life she didn't have when she chose to cross the threshold of the stone circle, rather than let a certain energetic young soon-to-be-wizard "catch" her.
