Default Colour of Magic Reference in Jingo - 02-06-2006, 21:17

I'm upto page 100 and something in Jingo. It's quite good. I liked the 'it'll all be over my Hogswatch' sentence. That made me chuckle.
I also liked the Bling Hugh reference, even if he died. :( He was great fun!

Considering how much time passed on Discworld -well everywhere except Lancre- he must have been ancient! Somehow I always seemed to remember he died in "The Colour of Magic", but I suppose I only assumed that because the city burned down.

And that's not a spoiler, because the story practically starts off with burning Ankh-Morpork.

And i think that The weasel won the bet
