Do too! Just not as big a one as the average person... :roll: You have to correct me even on a message board, don't you? Hmph. Big sisters.

I am missing something here. If it's not rude i would like to ask if Sir Gawain and Laughingfire are relatives.
And yeah-shit happens and they float!

You're right, Sir Vaims. LaughingFire and myself happen to be sisters. How ever did you guess?

Well, I said it.

Hmm...getting back to Night Watch, I love the way we get to see Havelock while he's still at the Guild. (So reminiscent of the traditional British prep school.) Invisible = excellent. Any theories about why his auntie wears purple? Apart from it makes a fine distraction from what she actually looks like.

Intuition! i like the understanding of Havelock-he prefers to be out of fashion wearing dark but not black clothes than to be stylish and a corpse

Yeah...and the good bit is that he'd be expelled from the Guild if he were seen dressed like that but since the whole point is not to be seen it doesn't matter. :p

But you are absolutely right.

Maybe his aunt has a royalty complex/is minor aristocracy? And obviously to hide herself as well. I love the whole "he instinctively felt that if one must fondle a cat while planning it should not be a ginger tom prone to flatulence". . . inspired! Take that Blofeld! (sorry that my quote is probably inaccurate but in my defence it's from memory and I haven't read/reread the book in months! )

May i just point out that while i too am new and feel like posting random topics asking, while on a terry pratchett fan site (kinda) who likes his books is a bit like asking all your friends who breathes oxygen/wears clothes?
p.s. please note the latter example does not apply to those who live in nudist colonies!
pps However you are quite right the Night Watch kicks ass

Oh, I dunno, I've seen people here say they don't like, or like a little less some of the books, everyone's different, and this isn't so much a sit for flat out fan-drooling-worship-of-everything-Pterry, as a place to exchange opinions... May the doormen place my figgin upon a spike if I'm wrong


Damn Spider pig

No, I think Katcal's right about that, although Night Watch was one of those cases where I don't remember anyone disliking the book (or liking it less than about 25 other DW books, for example).
