Welcome to Jangus and Vimes. Things may seem a little quiet at present but don't let that fool you. Things can get pretty hectic at times.

1) It's sort of my name, spelled to rhyme with Bananana
2) female
3) 33, South Africa

6) I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way

Welcome Bronanna and SwedishFan!

Welcome to the boards, Bronanna and SwedishFan!

1. Ni-Ne is a nickname I was given by a very dear friend who said I reminded him of a rare bird called a Ni-Ne from the Amazon rain forest. J is the first letter of my name so it is a mixture of the two. Oh and you can pronounce my name J9.

I seem to have forgot to say I am female whoops......

2. I'm 37 years old and live in Sedgley, West Midlands in the United Kingdom.

3. I have seen Hogswatch and The Colour Magic, out of the two I preferred Hogswatch but I think that is because Death and The Death of Rats are two of my favorite characters.

4. I started Reading Terry Pratchett when my youngest had to spend 21 weeks in Birmingham Childrens Hospital. One of his doctors was a big TP fan and we would dicuss the discworld during morning rounds much to the bafflement of the trainee docs.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have is my favorite quote, because it just about sums up my life.

Welcome, Jnine.

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

Long story: I like pink, and like have an original screen name (read: without numbers) at online gaming
2) Male or Female?
Female
3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?

24, The Netherlands
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, if TP is involved. I liked the Hogfather, or is that cursing?
5) how, or by who, were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

Read Mort from (now former) drummer on vacation in Spain
6) what's your personal quote of the day?

"Everything is going to be fine, one way or another. Now please stop coughing."

Elliza · **Hello everybody! -** 01-02-2010, 09:13

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
Utterly boring and dull - using my name.

2) Are you male or female? (Asking because there has been quite of lot of confusion over this, on and off.)
-- Female, except when I'm rowing and then I'm Awesome Female!

3) what age category and geographic location do you fall into?
-- Old enough to know better, young enough not to care, USA.

4) Have you seen any Discworld movies, did you like them and do you have faith in future productions being good, better or worse than current ones?
(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.)
-- Haven't seen the discworld movies - a project on the list. I'd love to see someone GREAT and with real obsession in their heart for the source material take this on.

5) who or how were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?
Found it on my own, have since found a few other fans of the discworld. To put things into perspective, this is the only "fanboard" type of thing I've ever even contemplated joining. It does seem such a jolly place, though, that it made me overcome my usual reticence in these matters.

6) what's your personal quote of the day?
none today... maybe another time!

Welcome, HerFatalPinkness and Elliza!

It's a bit quiet around here right now, but we usually respawn after a while and catch up.

Joculator · 01-03-2010, 17:55

Similar welcomes from me too.

That may work for you Hsing, but after the New Year celebrations I feel as if I'm recovering from an autopsy

1) what formed the motivational impetus for your chosen screenname?
It's taken from some of the Nadsat language that was created in A Clockwork Orange. It means 'crazy woman'.
2) Male or Female?
Female
3) what age catagory and geographic location do you fall into?
20, Birmingham/England
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.)

No, Pratchett relies so heavily on the manipulation of language, and that just can't be transferred across into a film.
5) how, or by who, were you turned on to discworld/pratchett?

First one I read was Mort when I was about 12, but I have no idea how I got hold of it.
6) what's your personal quote of the day?

"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society." -- Mark Twain

Hello Bezoomnycheena.

stripytie · 04-07-2010, 05:40

1) Its the name i use for everything, its unusual so its almost always free and i dont have to remember 40 different usernames. I made it up when i was looking for something to put as a username and saw my tie hanging.
2) Male
3) Im 18 and i live on Guernsey, part of the channel islands located just off the coast of france.
4) I loved the sky 1 production of Hogfather and The Colour of Magic
5) Watching the aforementioned Hogfather, as soon as i had some cash to play with i went onto amazon and ordered all of the death books (still my favourite character) in their beautiful black covers devoured them in about a week and then went back to amazon and ordered every other discworld book i could find.
6) Bill Gates at a malaria conference "i brought some mosquitos, here, i'll let them roam around, there's no reason only poor people should be infected"
