Brian Oxenham boxenham@eurobell.co.uk writes: I am a great TP fan even though I am in my 50's. Every book is like a bit of fresh air. When I read some of the Discworld books it reminds me of the area where or near where I live and that is on the outskirts of: Plymouth "DARTMOOR" I can visualise some of the characters running around out there in the wilds as DARTMOOR is a weird place at night with strange people and sounds. But I am also a fan of all SCI-FI books and films. Can anyone recommend a web-site for me please?

This has been publicised before but perhaps it is a good time to repeat it.

There is a mistake in the recipe for Dried Frog Pills (p88).

The recipe calls for 30gr of sifted icing sugar, but unless you increase this amount by a factor of about 10 (300gr) you will end up with a sticky semi-liquid that will never set.

And beware of outbreaks of homicidal sanity from those who partake of the pills.

In reply to Mads Levi Haslund's question about turtlesalltheway.com I asked Terry about this some time ago - his response was:

"Two books a year, or one book and a spiffy website. Don't make me choose."

Sadly I know what he means - websites take up loads of time to keep updated, although there are plenty of Discworld fans who are competent web designers - myself for one.

A reader pointed out the bit about Mr de Worde and his 15th century printing press and wondered about where Terry gets his trivia.

Another one I came across recently was about the father of the Protestant faith Martin Luther. The Holy Roman Emperor Charles V held a council meeting or diet at the town of Worms in Germany. The Diet of Worms was where the schism (we like those) took place in the Catholic church and those Protesters made their impact.

Nothing at all like the meeting between the Vampires, Werewolves, and Dwarves in Uberwald, referred to as the Diet of Bugs (Fifth Elephant).

DWM replies: Martin gets this month's Letter of the Month.

I would like to comment on David Woodall's letter regarding Jack Wilde. It may be of interest to note that Jack Wilde died shortly after forming his insurance scam, when for some reason he was turned in. I have read he was boasting in the ale house of a robbery he had arranged and that he would get more money when he apprehended the felons and gave the jewellery back. Problem was one of the customers in the bar was a servant of the people from whom the Jewellery had been stolen. (Ooops). He was hanged at Tyburn in front of one of the biggest crowds ever for an execution.

Greetings from the Pacific Northwest of the US.

Some time ago I heard that it was actually possible to take a test and receive a UU diploma. My recollection is that Josh Kirby was doing this. Recently I introduced my son to the Discworld and he is totally hooked. I would love to give him a way to get a UU diploma. He is currently unable to make these inquiries for himself. Can anyone tell me about this?

Borogrovia first appears in the Discworld Mapp, and in Jingo is mentioned as one of the nations of the world. It's also mentioned as one in The Fifth Elephant, and in Night Watch Carrot tells Vimes about the invasion that started then.

I know those are not big mentions, and Borogrovia doesn't really have a lot of history like Lancre or Ankh-Morpork, but frankly most people in the world don't know much about the history of the eastern European countries in this world either (unless they are from there originally). Hardly "never heard of", right?!

I am an English teacher at a high school in Australia, and having just read "Monstrous Regiment" and passed it on to a few of my more discerning students, we were all amused when we read "All Quiet on the Western Front" and came across the phrase: "being a soldier was different. It wasn't as if you could take it off, like a pair of socks, and go back to a normal life". Needless to say we are now looking at those soldiers in a different light.

I noticed that there are quite a few readers of DWM who do not have access to all of TP's books because of their unavailability in their city/country of residence. Why not start a regular section in DWM which advertises second hand/new copies of TP novels for exchange or sale? Maybe you can make some advertising income by asking second hand bookshops which have a regular source of TP books to advertise (I am not sure if there are such shops in the UK. In Australia, it is near impossible to get second hand Discworld books, they are too popular). I am sure that Pratchett fans all over the world will appreciate it, and like Constable Washpot, we can help to enlighten other parts of the world by circulating the works of the Great God Pratchett!!!

Apropos Bookworm Baz's fascinating two parter on the folklore section of his library, may I suggest a book that he didn't mention and one that I have found immeasurably readable. Although it is not strictly speaking just about folklore I cannot help but think that a well thumbed copy sits on PTerry's desk. The book is "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase & Fable". It's available in many editions the most recent being the "Millennium Edition", Casell, 1999 ISBN 0304350966. The reason why I think PTerry uses a copy a great deal? Because the foreword to the "Millennium Edition" is written by the man himself. To quote him, "reading one item in Brewer's is like eating one peanut. It's practically impossible." I heartily recommend this to any Pratchett fans. There's also an online version of the 1898 edition at Bartleby: www.bartleby.com/81/

With reference to Spanish Translations

Go to www.laideafija.com.ar and look for the TP Special, there's a complete bibliography where the translated books are mentioned. Or else, go to www.dreamers.com/mundodisco/, which is the best Spanish pratchettian site ever!

Hey fellow-Discworldfans out there! More and more friends around me are infected with the DW-virus, which is good news after the plague, madcow, and chickenpox. The only problem is that I live in the Netherlands, and I haven't been able to find much of a Dutch fanclub or community or anything. I'd also be thrilled to hear if Mister Pratchett himself would do a signing session in this cold, rainy and low country. Is there anyone who has any news about Dutch Discworld events, or is Holland simply not the place to be? :{ I hope someone has some information for me.

I've been reading the Discworld books for years, and had a small smile last week when, listening to the London radio station LBC, I heard presenter Nick Ferrari use the phrase "he went mad, he went absolutely bursar". Just shows you how these phrases get into the common language - I wonder if this is how Shakespeare's stuff started to get quoted? Makes you wonder what will be in common usage in 400 hundred years time...

My wife and I discovered Terry's books three years ago. Living in a sequestered conservative town in the middle of Kansas, we often wondered whether he was popular elsewhere and gaining the recognition he so rightfully deserved. We are pleased to have discovered Discworld Monthly and enjoy reading the comments from people around the globe, and especially from my former homeland of England. We are especially pleased because it means someone might be able to help us answer a nagging question: is Lord Vetinari a vampire? The hints are numerous - his ties to the vampires' homeland, his wealth of information, Vimes' absolute hatred and mistrust of them (an almost too obvious ironic twist) - but we have never been able to find definitive proof. Has this ever occurred to anyone else? Does the answer exist somewhere, or at least as close to an answer as Pratchett will give us? Thanks for your consideration of our question.

I realise that this subject has been bought up a lot in the last few months but I have an idea. I'm talking about the Discworld Diary and the absence of a 2004 diary. Much has been said about the major groups having been done and there not being material for another. I feel this is wrong and two large groups have been discounted, stop me if I am wrong but what about the alchemists? or even the Palace? I'm sure the Patrician has a lot of appointments to keep! Or what about DEATH? On a sort of related note has anyone applied for an Ank-Morpork passport? If so what do you get for the price of a stamp?

I just found this as I don't often read the paper. In last week's Mail on Sunday there was a free booklet listing Britain's richest people. Terry doesn't really figure in the top 300, the 300th has 125m GBP! But there is a section on the 10 richest authors in the land and Terry comes in at no 10 with 15.5m GBP. The statement reads: "With royalty statements taking up 10ft of shelf space and 32m sales, Terry Pratchett says he is rich enough to keep Hollywood away from his Discworld series. Pratchett, 55, whose books were once shoplifted more than those of any other writer in the world, reckons his greatest achievement is growing a 3lb 4oz carrot!"

Go, Terry!

I was flipping through an old collection of books I've had for years called the Junior Classics that contains ten volumes. In the tenth volume, labelled poetry, there is a poem credited to Anonymous called "the Wee, Wee Man." and I was wondering if some of the inspiration for their Scottish sound came from this, here are a few verses:

"as I was walking by my lane,
atween a water and a wa'
there sune I spied a wee, wee man--
he was the least that ere I saw.

His legs were scant a shalmont's length,
and sma and limber was his thie;
between his een was a span,
betwixt his shoulders there was ells three.

he has tane up a meikle stane'
and flang't as far as I cold see;
ein thouch I had been Wallace wicht,
I dought na lift it to my knie.

"O wee, wee man,but ye be strang!
tell me whar may thy dwelling be?"
"I dwell beneth that bonnie bouir--
Oh, will ye gae wi me and see?"

On we lap, and away we rade,
till we cam to a bonny green;
we lichted syne to bait our steid,
and out there came a lady sheen.

wi four and twentie at her back,
a comely cled in glistering green;
thouch there the king of Scots had stude,
the warst micht weil hae been his queen.

I'm not really sure, but it reminded me of our lovely blue lads and I thought you'd be interested.

I wonder if anyone out there on the Roundworld could answer a couple of questions?

The answers may be of no interest to anyone but me, Oh well here goes.

1: I travel a lot and I always carry at least one of my trusty Discworld books with me. I have a Roundworld version of a disorganiser, this has a large but empty memory card and would be great for filling up with ebook versions of the Creators work. I wondered if at some point the books may be published in this form (I don't mind paying the proper people as I'm wearing out the printed ones fast). And my favourites have been to many a strange place, both in the UK and around the world and I can never find my luggage. (Oh for some sapient pearwood)

2: Do any DWM readers know of the location of any Discworld currency (coins or notes) I believe that some were produced but have been unable to track any down. Again I would be happy to purchase some if the exchange rate were favourable. the reason for the currency becomes clear in Q3. (just how much is an Ankh Dollar worth these days ?)

3: Point two leads me to my last question. I have been asked to make some Discworld Guild charms for a customer (Oh I'm a Jeweller if I hadn't said before). This leads me to a slight headache, do I need the permission of that wonderful person Stephen Briggs and the Creator to adapt their designs into Jewellery ? (I'm on my knees and its hard to reach the keyboard) If anyone in the know could contact me I would be most grateful. (not financially this time)

4. DiscTrivia

For the next few months we thought we would concentrate each trivia section on a certain subject. This month we have decided to ask questions about Lord Vetinari. If the answers are wrong this month you will have to blame Jason info@discworldmonthly.co.uk.

Q1.: What is the name of Vetinari's personal assistant?
Q2.: Vetinari had a romantic interest in Uberwald. What was unusual about this person?
Q3.: What shape is Vetinari's office?

a. Oval
b. Oblong
c. Octagonal
d. Oculiform
Q4.: What does Vetinari have in common with Charlie, a man who ran a clothes shop in Pseudopolis?
Q5.: Apart from his dog Wuffles, what pet does Vetinari have in MORT?

The results, as always, appear at the end of this issue.

5. A Special Request from Bernard Pearson

And it has come to pass that the stout party [Bernard's words - Ed] is in need of a piece of kit.

To whit, a Laptop. Free range Computer. Not, I must hasten to add, a new one. Nor one that is all singing and dancing. But one that has Word, can write to floppy or disc, and bloody well works. Not new, just lived with, and simple to use.

He will swap, trade, exchange, the following:

A one off, never to be repeated, ever, Tiffany Mirror [Tiffany Aching - not the multi-coloured leaded glass things that my wife likes - Ed]. Now the metal ones are selling for 240GBP, but as this finish will never be repeated on this item we think it might make more than that in auction. The reason we are not offering this finish is simply that you can have too much of a good thing, and the other finishes take long enough as it is.

So, if you fancy a mirror but not enough to shell out a few hundred quid, but have a laptop surplus to requirements, then drop the stout party a line.

bernard@cunningartificer.demon.co.uk

Pictures of the mirror should soon appear on Bernard's web site located at www.artificer.co.uk

6. Competitions

Please note that unless stated otherwise our competitions are open to all readers, regardless of where you live.

* BursarVixen Enterprises: Discworld Mugs Competition *

Last month BursarVixen asked you how much a set of six Discworld mugs cost? Of course they didn't mention that their extensive range of products includes more than one set of Mugs, some with Paul Kidby pictures and others with Josh Kirby pictures.

This meant that we got a range of results varying from 30 to 50 GBP (depending on postage!)...

We have therefore decided to enter all entries into the winner's hat and have randomly selected Sarah Thomas of Mid Glamorgan as the winner. Your set of mugs should soon be on their way.

Details of the Discworld mugs and all BursarVixen's other products can be found at www.bursarvixen.com

7. Special Wadfest Announcement

Wadfest 2004 is shaping up to be what looks like a great event. It takes place over the weekend of the 17th-19th September at Callow Top Holiday Park, Ashbourne in Derbyshire. This year's theme is Koom Valley, so expect plenty of Troll / Dwarf references.

Events planned include Luggage Wars, Live Thud, Paint your Own, Maskerade, Live Music with Rocks In and a charity auction.

The organizers of the event have asked us to remind you that the price of tickets will rise in April from 10 GBP to 12.50 GBP per adult. One child can go free for each paying adult providing they share a tent. If a child brings their own tent there will be an additional charge of 5 GBP.

The new Wadfest 2004 Troll / Dwarf T-shirt and sweatshirt designs look great. The T-shirts cost 10GBP and the sweat shirts cost only 5GBP more which represents great value for money.

The Callow Top Holiday Park is an excellent campsite with all the facilities you could want, including showers, heated pool, on site shop and pub.

Full details of the event, the site and merchandise can be found at the official Wadfest web site located at www.wadfest.co.uk

8. Who's Who: William de Worde

At the start of The Truth, William de Worde is a reasonably well-off, educated young man who's good with words. This skill lets him earn a living doing odd writing jobs for those Ankh-Morpork residents who have trouble expressing themselves on paper - i.e. most of them - and sending a monthly roundup of news and events to well-off, interested aristocrats who no longer live in the city but want to keep informed.

The turning point comes when William discovers (abruptly) a new dwarf invention, moveable type. Discworld devotees know that several well-established bodies, such as the wizards, the priesthood and of course the Guild of Engravers, are vehemently opposed to printing, unless it's done by carving letters into a block of wood. This is slow, arduous and expensive. It's easy to understand why the engravers might not like the idea of high-speed, cheap printing catching on. The wizards and the priests, however, seem to be motivated by superstition, unwillingness to share knowledge and perhaps a fear of being caught out by documentary evidence.

As in so many of the recent Discworld novels, though, the march of progress can't be stopped (despite efforts from certain quarters). William's news sheet, the Ankh-Morpork Times, proves phenomenally
popular; so much so that it very quickly acquires a competitor, the more down-market, sensationalist Ankh-Morpork Inquirer. A close-fought circulation war ensues, fuelled by William's determination to get to the bottom of a plot to oust The Patrician.

There may be a lot of Terry's personal experience in William's story. We know Terry worked on local papers for a number of years, so he was probably exposed to more than his fair share of aggrieved members of the public or people wielding hilariously-shaped fruit and veg. The journalism in The Truth is alarmingly convincing and the parodied newspaper articles could, with a few minor updates for the modern world, appear in several tabloids today without causing undue comment.

William himself is a sympathetic character. We know he is a great
disappointment to his family, particularly his fiercely conservative father, and this sense of failure or injustice gives him much of the drive he needs to pursue his ambitions for The Times and truth and fairness in general.

Interestingly, although generally inoffensive and good-natured, William can become determined and defiant in pursuit of a story,
even to the point of facing down Vimes and Vetinari himself - within reason. There is an extra dimension to William that makes him one of the most satisfying, enjoyable characters to read about on the Discworld.
