Not only is nobby insidious he is also armgerious,and naturally to boot

I agree with you but thats one of the reasons I like Tery so much.His sharp observance of our world reflected in the disc.Another piece of grim subtle humour I like is his references to assassinating the patrician and using the analogy of ancient tribal times with the cutting remark at the end "Of course that was a long time ago.These days no one has to eat beans".
Very dark and funny which sums up Night Watch perfectly.
