I agree with Magrit Garlick about those. Ick.

Yay! A fellow Discworld fan! But, it's actually

Drat, you're right. Ooops.

So, assuming you can pick just one, which character is your
favourite?

Can't decide if I'm a Granny or a Nanny Ogg fan. It depends on my
mood I guess.

Arghhhh!!! Too . . . hard . . . a decision . . .

Hmm. I suppose the character I have the most fondness for is Agnes/Perdita
(or does she count as two?) but the one I like reading the most about is
Vimes.

There's a Pratchett mailing list that he occasionally posted to. I got
off it a while back. Busy list. Great fun. Dunno how it is now.

I agree with you there, although I have a weakness for Windle
Poons. Often I find that I identify with the characters: I'd
like to *be* Granny Weatherwax or Susan Sto Helit; I recognize
myself in Agnes Nitt (and can't say I like it very much); and
I suspect I am going to end up as Nanny Ogg.

Hey! I'll hang my post here on the post revek sent:

No, I eat plenty of vegetables -- tomatoes, peppers, some
cauliflower, potatoes in moderation etc.

I thought people believed tomatoes to be poisonous in the middle
ages?

I remember that too. Possibly because they are part of the nightshade
family?


When tomatoes are used on pewter plates the acid can leach the lead and
other metals out into the food. The same goes for wines. The very rich
mostly used silver or gold, the very poor used earthenware. Mainly the
middle class had problems with this slow poisoning. Most "scientists" of
that era were middle class.
