... Thanks. I'm basing it on the very first appearance of the word gloing, not quite on the first page. It's just before a line about a flash of light from a...
Gloing. The sound of two very large balloons bumping together. Or one large tubular bell, struck just right. I know. The sound of one of those inspiration...
Gloing is the sound of a rubber ball hitting the pavement, like when bouncing it in basketball or some such. for a culture that uses pig-bladder, it would be a...
... I like it. Totally different from what I've been thinking and yet not contradictory at all. Thanks! Here's some of mine: The first time we see the word...
Stating the obvious, but somebody needs to, right? <grin> Sound of magic trying to get into the world in physical state. I didn't describe it well, but...
... He does say that, though his reason is interesting, if true.* ... If it ever becomes necessary, he probably will. Given that nobody else seems to want the...
I understand that the title 'Professor' is conferred/achieved at different stages in one's acadmic career in the UK and in the US. A quick look on that not...
In Unseen Academicals, a question is answered that had come up somewhere. Ponder Stibbons, though he is in charge of the Higher Energy Magic building and...
My region-free DVD player is acting up, but I finally managed to play the UK PAL DVD of the tv production of "Johnny and the Bomb." It's not bad but they did...
I'm disappointed - in the Region 1 DVD, not in the movie. I love the Mob's filmed version, especially since the DVD has all the small bits that were cut from...
Even us Brits miss a lot of the jokes on the first reading and often only pick some up when reading it again some time later. I think that's the fun of reading...
I don't even keep up with American culture, so am hopelessly lost on Brit stuff. Bu-bubble? I am thinking there must be some People-type publication called...
Only halfway thru, but if Pepe is from one of the "crab buckets," remember that early on someone made the point that one other person from a non-human race was...
... That's a sticky point, yes, but way back I think I remember Granny saying something disapproving about half-breeds with slightly pointy ears who sunburned...
But Tamar, Pepe says he's from Lobbin Clout, one of the 'crab buckets' remember? He's a Morpork lad.just has become a Dwarf like Carrot is. He's spells it out...

... Yes, I was referring to Pepe. Consider: Pepe, effortless fashion sense, and silver. And the theme of one redeeming character that shows any given species...
Am reading UA at the mo, but only in small fits and spurts as am waaaay behind on my nanowrimo word count. So I will probably have to abstain from visits to...
Not to spoil anything, and it took me a couple of weeks of thinking to notice it (so I'm slow...), but IMO there's a real stunner in UA. It's one of the...
It is absolutely not a typo. It's akin to "wool of sheeps." ... From: dicconf <dicconf@...> Subject: [The Mended Drum] Re: "the sweet pinkness of its...
... <snip> ... I think it's deliberate, not a typo. Roe is indeed a mass of eggs, but - I'm probably wrong here - I think fish are like most other living...
I found a lot of typos in my copy too Rob, I think there are printers errors because I'm finding them in a lot of commercially produced books these days. As...
