The other question was who would be my next fav author ?
This a tough one but Terry Brooks, Roger Zelazny Michael Morecroft David Eddings in fact if they got magic their in

Darn it why didn't that quote arrive? :? Back to the drawing board.

Finally i have returned

I hope atleast someone will remember me*... I think i only had about 65 posts at the last board or something, but i'm here now.


1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

Always used it i suppose... I've occasionally thought of dropping the "guy" bit at the end as it's abit cheesey but then in being called "Chester" i would in fact be named completely after my home town, which would be a tad strange...

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)

Pretty certain i'm a male

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

18 (19 next week ) from Chester, UK

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

I feel it could be done... however it would probably have to be one of the guards series, just set in AM i feel to work... as operating over too much ground would just... not work... perhaps Guards! Guards! or something... However, the other book that i've read that i feel WOULD make a good film, strangely enough, would be moving pictures... However, with the right director and Pterry's guidence, i'm sure any book could be made into a good film.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

After finishing my book on holiday in Blackpool in summer 2004 I randomly picked up Men at Arms and have been reading Discworld books ever since...


6) what's your personal quote of the day?

College tutor: "I've had complaints about you lot from Dan [a tutor], all Chatting, Drinking & Eating Sweets in his lesson... he's new, be nice to him"

Mark: "I offered him a sweet! Surely that was being nice!"


Anyway, i'm back!


* Electric Man should, after our many conversations relating to two of League 2's top 3 teams at the moment, Wycombe and of course the Great Chester City... who incidently enough play each other this Saturday

Who are you?

Good timing mate, hope you'll enjoy the best attacking football in the league as we bear down on your goal on saturday. You'll also be able to enjoy some shoddy defending from us too...

Welcome back

Well we're along the same lines as you in that case, good attack... inconsistent defence

Time to look forward to a 5-5 game then by the looks of it :badgrin:

Wasnt that far off was i? :p

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?

After reading "Going postal" it stuck, and dnow it is my username wherever i go.

2) Are you male or female?

Definitly male. i check every day.

3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

I am currently 19 years old (how wet behind the ears i must be) and studying at the university of Stellenbosch in the Western Cape, South Africa.

4) do you have good faith that a discworld movie COULD be done well enough not to suck? (note, this in no way shape or form asks about casting choices you'd like to see. i have a loaded rifle and i'm not afraid to use it.)

Yes i do. But it all depends if they can get the funding (they will need LOTS to get everything right) and if they will be able to convince enought celebs tofeture in the filn (assuming it is not an animation film).

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

I was conscripted by my sister (also huge TP fan, duh) about 5 years ago.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?

"just because someone is a member of a ethnic minority (or indeed an ethnic majority) doesnt mean he isin a small, evil minded little twat. This is very true, especially here in the good old RSA.

Hi Smoking_GNU, just finished Going Postal yesterday, quite like the name myself.

I don't think it does now actually OM. Isn't it MEASTRO or something now, not sure really.

Welcome all newbies. Please wipe feet on way out.

bbakag = blonde bombshell aka god...

I'm a girly, almost certainly...

I'm 21, live in Swindon Wilts.

I did a play of Wyrd Sisters a few years back, was fabulously entertaining (if I do say so myself) but can't imagine a movie that wouldn't strip the series of a little something special. For me, Discworld's one of those "you had to be there" kind of things.

My dad lent me a copy of Pyramids when I was about 10. That was it for me.

"Mummy's book. Get off." - My boy, said matter-of-factly to his little sister on discovery of her pretending to read The Truth and occasionally laughing out loud, just like mummy!

That's sweet...
Welcome bbakag!
