Breaking and Decorating

[Tonyblack]

Wasn't it also in Soul Music. Didn't Glod decorate all the hotel rooms they visited. Sort of opposite of The Who?

You're right - he did. Don't know if that comes under an anti-crime though. The Discworld Companion has this to say on the subject:

As you might expect on the Disc, even crime has its opposite. Merely giving someone something is not the opposite of robbery. To be an anti-crime, it has to be done in such a way as to cause outrage and/or humiliation to the victim. So there is breaking-and-decorating, proffering-with-embarrassment (as in most retirement presentations) and whitemailing (as in, for example, threatening to reveal to his enemies a mobster's secret donations to charity). Anti-crimes never really caught on.

Looking again at the title of the thread, didn't a whirlwind break in somewhere on Discworld & redecorate? In an alternate universe scenario? Or have I been eating cheese before bedtime again?

No you are right, Dotsie. It was from Men at Arms.

***SLIGHT SPOLIERS***




At the beginning of the book Terry wrote about the different universes where things from the forth coming story didn't happen, like Vimes not finding the pipes, Cuddy and Detritus not falling down the hole, a small whirlwind going through the watch house and receorating and Carrot killed in a freak accident involving an anteater.

Hurrah! This is good news as my memory is normally rubbish

Thanks Exp. Date, the rat

BTW, the names Doug.

Cheers Doug - much easier to type than your other name
