Well, it's been decided that I'd be Nanny Ogg, and TBD wold be Magrat Garlic.

Who would you be?

If I were not a witch, I quite like Susan Sto Helit and Ponder Stibbons. :p

i think i'd be rincewind. i have a talent for getting myself into scrapes and coming out relatively unscathed through little deliberate action of my own.

Lord Vetinari

Prob'ly Nobby :( I'd rather be Carrot (Agua is teh hawt ;) )

the other so i been told by TBD and CW

Samuel Vimes
Lord Vetinari
Carrot

I THINK THAT’S OBVIOUS REALLY.


EDIT>> BTW BRIEF MORTALS, A RSC PRODUCTION OF THE HOGFATHER IS BEING SHOWN AT HOGSWATCH/XMAS ON ITV, I THINK.

Sky One.
And I'm definitely upset that they show it in two pieces, the first one this Sundy, the second on Monday, when I will be in Germany without access to Sky One... :(

I think I would be the luggage. Stamping down everyone who is in my way like a dangerous psychopath, and slice them with my teeth. And I could clean the laundry as well, which would be great.

Don't you have a video/DVD-recorder? Or you could ask someone else to record it for you...

I've got a VCR. But we receive Sky through ntl, and I'm not sure how to hook up those boxes (if at all possible) so that I can record anything. I'll probably be experimenting a lot on the weekend.

AHHH, THERE YOU ARE. AND I WAS MISTAKEN, THE HOGFATHER IS ON SKY ONE.

LINKY WITH BINKY. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hogfather_%28TV_series%29)

It will almost certainly be available as torrent the next day.

Torrent?
I'll be in Germany till the 27th...

Torrent?
I'll be in Germany till the 27th...Yeah, bittorrent. I'd be somewhat surprised if you can't find it via isohunt.com the day after it broadcast (and for some weeks afterwards). So then you could download it and watch it on your computer.

"look i'm cuttin me own throat"

Dibbler

Yeah, bittorrent. I'd be somewhat surprised if you can't find it via isohunt.com the day after it broadcast (and for some weeks afterwards). So then you could download it and watch it on your computer.

Nope. I don't download any media onto this computer, ever.

I've got a VCR. But we receive Sky through ntl, and I'm not sure how to hook up those boxes (if at all possible) so that I can record anything. I'll probably be experimenting a lot on the weekend.

It is possible, but somewhat counter-intuitive. With our set-up, the freeview box goes into the back of the VCR at some point. We manually set the VCR to tape at the correct time on the AV channel the Box goes is connected to the VCR on, then set the channel on the freeview box and leave it. There is often a timer function of the Freeview box, but unless you want to record more than one thing, its not necessary.

Basically, what you are doing is telling the VCR to record on a particular AV channel (related to one of the SCART plugs on the back of it) at a particular time, and using the Digibox to ensure that it tapes what you want. You can make videos of DVDs or console games this way, too.

I think my VCR only had one SCART outlet, which would make this setup impossible. But the box has two, so maybe I can link it that way somehow.

Shouldn't do, maybe I explained it wrong. The TV doesn't have to be in the circuit at all (unless you want to watch it and tape at the same time, in which case it would be one scart from the box to the video, and one from the box to the TV - this may not work)

Aerial (or whatever ntl comes in on)
->
ntl box
->scart to VCR scart plug
vcr

Your vcr should be able to be set to tape AV (mine has two scarts, AV1 and AV2), which should record whatever comes in on that Scart.

EDIT: Oh, i'd probably be Ponder Stibbons, but I suspect he'd be quite a popular choice around here. ;)

The Librarian. Easily.

Nope. I don't download any media onto this computer, ever.
At last! I know I'm no longer alone.

And I'd go with the Librarian as my character. So I can scratch myself in public and and all important questions about the nature of the universe boil down to where the next banana comes from.

and don't forget the lost reading room

Cut-me-own-throat Dibbler or Moist von Lipwig.

A mixture of Vimes' cynicism, Rincewind's cowardice, Colon's laziness, Ponder's intelligence, and a group of wizard's ability to firstly get nothing done and secondly eat a very large amount. And the Librarian's ability to play the drums.*

*I wish.

A bit of Lord Vetinari, some Sam Vimes, a dash of Ponder Stibbons, a touch of the Bursar, a taste of Susan Sto Helit, a pinch of Brutha, and more than enough of Greebo.

Mix together, and boil for 25 minutes. Add curry for flavour, and sprinkle some Pteppic on top.

Serve chilled :)

Well, I work in a Library, so I'll use that to justify an unjustifiable claim of being the librarian. I also like bananas and like laying around like a sack of bones.

i forgot about the bursar. i could definitely be him. only on a public holiday though cuz i couldn't do his job.

Ook!

A bit more refined than Nanny Ogg, but not so refined as Granny Weatherwax, and certainly not as dippy as Magrat...

But definitely a witch

*Cackles*

I'd love to be one of my two favourate chaacrters, Vimes and Esme, but I'd probably be more of a Ridcully charcater...

actually, correct that I am the Bunsar.

You want custard with that Mr.Jelly?

THIS IS A VERY EASY QUESTION TO ANSWER, AS ONE CHARACTER IS OVERWHELMINGLY MY FAVORITE.

However, if I am limited to characters no one has chosen yet, I could probably see myself as Agnes/Perdita Nitt. I lack the proper physique, but then, I don't exactly look like my first choice, either. ;)

Or possibly Tiffany Aching?

I wonder in which form, though?
Smelly cat, or incredibly handsome naked guy?

Granny Weatherwax if I were a woman.

Well, if he's Greebo in feline form, I want to be You the kitten.

Ooh, ooh. I've changed my mind. I want to be:

Bruce the Hoon


"You call this a way to enter a city? You call this a way to enter a city? Waist deep in water? We didn't enter a ... wretched ... city like this when I rode with Bruce the Hoon! You enter a ... lovemaking ... city by overrunning it with a thousand horsemen, that's how you take a city--!"


"Bruce the Hoon never went in the back way."
"Shut up."
"Never one for back gates, Bruce the Hoon."
"Shut up."
"When Bruce the Hoon attacked Al Khali, he did it right at the main guard tower, with a thousand screaming men on very small horses."
"Yeah, but ... last I saw of Bruce the Hoon, his head was on a spike."
"All right, I'll grant you that. But at least it was over the main gate. I mean, at least he got in."
"His head did."


I used to use that name a lot for online games.

i like to add the Toll out of the Night Watch

Well, it's been decided that I'd be Nanny Ogg, and TBD wold be Magrat Garlic.

Who would you be?

SQUEAK.

Heh. I'm sure choosing a character was tough for you. :)

Detritus?

thank you been looking for his name for the pasts min

On Runescape I'm the one, and only, C.T.Dibbler!
And C.T.Diblah also!

C.T.Diblowitz was too long as a character name :(

I notice that nobody's claiming to be Corporal Nobby Nobbs. :p

thank you been looking for his name for the pasts min

Cheery Littlebottom would be another nice alter ego for me. :D
I couldn't pass of for Angua even if I tried.

I notice that nobody's claiming to be Corporal Nobby Nobbs. :p

That's because nobody can really be sure what he is. I seem to remember that he carries a paper that says he's human, but do you believe everything you read?

now out of CW, TBD who would be Angua ;)

Didactylos for me. Or possibly a gonnagle.

Of course... poor thing. You should be careful how much tar you feed them. They love it, but it does make them explode after a while.

I indeed wonder what Carrot really thought when he met Gavin. Human ex-boyfriends are already bad enough...
As well if "doggystyle" has a few extra layers of meaning for him. But that is just my dirty mind.

I was thinking mostly in human form - but also a wee tiny bit in feeline form...

"Aaaw, don't mind him, he's just a big softie really."

:D

I notice that nobody's claiming to be Corporal Nobby Nobbs. :p
Don't understand why... He's said to have the body of a twenty-five year old, you know ;)

Though not short, I have 4 eyes (glasses) an optimistic outlook that says everything will work out alright eventually and that people are basically nice (even when I'm frequently proved wrong I still maintain my faith in humanity, well someone has to).

So Two-Flower it is.

Yeah, that clip was pretty dumb.

I dislike it when adaptions try to cartoonise Pratchett, especially with characters like the Auditors or Teatime, Pratchett did a great job of making them quite chilling, but the adaptions always seem to go the other way.

Wasn't the only thing I had a problem with. A'Tuin was poorly drawn, Death's land is meant to be completely black or shades of grey - that includes the sky - Albert is frequently referred to as being tall but stooped, not short and bumbling, Binky's hoofprints are meant to glow (because nature abhors the lack of special effects)...

That's all I can remember of the clip at the moment. Not sure I want to watch it again.

Why don't you go to the Library and ask the local Librarian for me, it'll probably be a she anyways.

I assume the banana has some relevance to Discworls, so the Librarian will understand this gag, and then i'll have to laugh when they laugh whilst not understanding what is going on or say i have no idea why it is funny, some random person told me to give you a banana.

Hm. Probably Ponder Stibbons, but possibly Vetinari.

I suggest you do this on may 25th while wearing a lilac.

And a towel of course. Douglas Adams also deserves attention.

Rofl, oh please do! And when you're done, tell me all about it. :D

Nobby :D

I never found you before, but now, at last, you've appeared in the open...
I love you all! :D

*coughs*

Anyway...

I'd probably be a bit like a mixture of Ponder Stibbons (intelligent but always despairing of my peers, or humanity in general, or even the universe in general (why circles?! Why do I have to have a universe with rules? Why, damnit, why?! (I realise that this is the opposite of Stibbons' despair. This was intentional.))) and perhaps Hex (I'd like not just to reboot the universe, but boot it again after that *kicks universe for being malignant and intolerant of nerds in glasses and without a beard who have an affinity for computers or who virtually are one themselves...*).
Blimey. Those were some wordy sentences.
But yes. Hex and Ponder Stibbons.

In support of Hex: my ICT teacher refers to me as a computer and he's gone so far as to give me a name in binary code. Admittedly it's just the number one, but still...
And I corrected his binary code for number two! Yay!

Ahem.

I'd like to be The Librarian. Not only because I wouldn't mind being a well grown 300lb orangutan, but also because it is my chosen career and I cannot stand it when people bring their books back late (especailly if want to read them ;))

Ook.

You're on the internet and you've only just stumbled across Terry Pratchett fans....:confused: ;)


I was gonna say the Librarian but pretty much every other person has chosen that.... so either Susan or The Luggage.

Well, it's been decided that I'd be Nanny Ogg, and TBD wold be Magrat Garlic.

Who would you be?

At this stage, Cohen the barbarian.

So what did you guys think of the Hogfarther?

Ok i will, so what is the first Discworls book?
Maybe you could read it to me?
Put on cute little voices too?:p
:fluffle:

The colour of magic - which sucks imo. Pratchett got considerably better as he wrote more: less slapstick, more irony.

Well, I have been told that I am a bit of a mix of Rincewind, a bit of Sam Vimes, a bit of DEATH (Probably my favorite character, and a LOT of Nobby Nobbs.

My character of choce, aside from Death (Who I would lve to be...and would a a good job of it too, I think, but I haven't the voice)...would have to be Corporal C.W. St. J. Nobbs. I am a bit like him...heh. I also think being Ipslore the Red would be fun.

Or The Death of Rats. And Moist.


Man, I really do not know, there are too many bloody amazing characters to choose from.

Oh well. Nobby is the most like me.

For my repeated and unavoidable tendency to be reasonably maimed by those things which I surround myself with and cherish most, I'm going to honestly select, as my Discworld doppelganger, Hodgesaaaaaargh.

|That and The Light Fantastic are both very poor, once Mort comes along the serise truely begins.

What do people think of the 2 part Hogswatch movie that aired last weekend on Sky :) ?

Time for a poll...

Oh, I must have missed that.

Don't mess with the turtle god!

The gods appeared, transparent and shimmering in and out of focus. The sun glinted off a hint of golden curls, and wings, and lyres.
When they spoke, they spoke in unison, their voices drifting ahead or trailing behind the others, as always happens when a group of people are trying to faithfully repeat something they've been told to say.
Om was in the throng, standing right behind the Tsortean God of Thunder with a faraway expression on his face. It was noticeable, if only to Brutha, that the Thunder God's right arm disappeared up behind his own back in a way that, if such a thing could be imagined, would suggest that someone was twisting it to the edge of pain.
What the gods said was heard by each combatant in his own language, and according to his own understanding. It boiled down to:
I. This is Not a Game.
II. Here and Now, You are Alive.
