*chucks Greebo's chin - very carefully*

Yay! I lurve Hattie Jaques too - she was a much under-rated actress and a sort of politer Jo Brand

she was so funny and i love the fact that in an age when when it was so difficult to get a head for women here is this larger than life woman who was also a bit of a tart showing the men how to do it...

[superfurryandy]

As a huge fan of Tony Hancock, I cannot help but be a fan of Hattie Jacques as well.

She's just met a US GI...

HJ: He's from New York, he just swept me off my feet!

TH: What did he use? A bulldozer?

Discworld and Pterry favourites list (you can have more than 1 if you want!)
Book: Interesting Times, Small Gods, Going Postal, all the watch books, Hogfather
Favourite passage: This at least was true. Rincewind could scream for mercy in niniteen languages, and just scream# in another forty-four.
#This is important. Inexperienced travellers might think that 'Aargh!' is universal, but in Betrobi it means 'highly enjoyable' and in Howondaland it means, variously' I would like to eat your foot', Your wife is a big hippo' and 'Hello, Thinks Mr Purple Cat.' One particular tribe has a fearsome reputation for cruelty merely because prisoners appear, to them, to be shouting 'Quick! Extra boiling oil!'

Character: Vimes, Ridcully,Death, Vetinari
Song: A Wizard's Staff Has a Knob on the End
Pterry Quote: My experience in Amsterdam is that cyclists ride where the hell they like and aim in a state of rage at all pedestrians while ringing their bell loudly, the concept of avoiding people being foreign to them. My dream holiday would be a) a ticket to Amsterdam b) immunity from prosecution and c) a baseball bat

Quote from a book: They say the heat and the flies here can drive a man insane. But you don't have to believe that, and nor does that bright mauve elephant that just cycled past.

Nice ones Kakaze and Sjoerd!

Funny how you can't seem to help stereotyping people - I had you down as an out and out metalhead Kakaze, but what class! Love Pachelbel

And Sjoerd - did you ever wear a gold suit when you were delivering mail?

[Lady Vetinari]

A Pratchett quote I love: "Do I like riding out on end of the world apocalypses, dear?" "No, it brings on your trouble!"
