Thanks. Being new there is no way you should be expected to know. We're in the process of making a guildlines to help newer members understand the place.
Also,there is no need to keep your comments short, write as much as you have to say but if you could just break up the text slightly it would make it alot easier for the few who struggle. We really apprecaite any effort people make so that the board is accessible to all, some times even the simplest changes can make a big difference.

Rhys Ifans isn't doing very well, who the Hell is he anyway?

I seem to remember he's the guy who played Gimli in the LOTR films. He'd definately be a cast for Ridcully!

HEH! That was John Rhys Davies, Hsing.

Rhys Ifans was in Notting Hill and... some other stuff. Let's do a google image search... http://www.digitalhit.com/fest/tiff/.../t04-c-461.jpg

I don't think he'd be a good Vimes, too goofy.

Ella: Star Trek?

Oh God no, he looks too unrough to be Vimes. In fact I'm not sure he'd fit in anywhere on the Discworld.

Rinso, I think you've hit it - the FAQ/"Rules" should be called "The Guildlines" - the statutes of the Ankh-Morpork Guild of Boardanians!

Nah, my fault. Your teasing is just to high class for me. I just mock his (her) sex.

Actually, I believe he would make a good Carcer, or possibly Mr Teatime.

Hmmm...

A glass eye in one, a pinpoint pupil in the other... a Victorian Era costume...

He could do Mr. Teatime. Carcer should be rougher, I think.

I must admit I haven't seen much of Hugh Laurie since Blackadder except maybe some costume film where he again plays a stuck-up aristocrat, so err, non, can't imagine him as Vimes on that, but I agree he's a good actor, so I guess he could...

RDA, woh, yeah, I understand the cynical and disrespectful side, but as much as i love the guy, nope, he just doesn't have the looks... although... well, he is getting on a bit, looking a bit rougher... but nope, he's too tall I think, I see vimes as a small-ish, round-ish-but-not-fat guy, not big and muscular...

I think this calls for a mixture of people, a bit of RDA's personnality, Hugh's talent and the physique of that guy someone posted a pic of... All we have to do... is find an Igor and an thunderstorm...

I agree about Hugh being a little too tall, but then that's just my imagination; I can't remember having read an actual description of Vimes. Nevertheless, I selected him. I wouldn't have a while ago, but now I've seen House I'm inclined to think he could play any part in anything!

the reason I picked Hugh was because of the picture in the art of discworld, its not exactly the way i pictured him but since i saw that picture its just stuck in my head heres a small one
