Celia Imrie to play Nanny Ogg #Discworld
It was possibly the most circumspect advance in the history of military manoeuvres, right down at the bottom end of the scale that things like the Charge of the Light Brigade are at the top of.

Strange how my mind works
Woke up in the middle of the night pondering who would make a good actress to play Granny Weatherwax in a Terry #Pratchett's #discworld film about his cast of Witches
Answer : Tilda Swinton
The Last Continent finished! 
I had a good time, even if I must have missed a few references to Australia. Beginning a bit slow to get going and end a bit chaotic to understand.
I've almost run out of room to put the books away 
Honestly should I become a figure of authority or in a position of power, I will absolutely make "Please, do not allow me to detain you." to be my perfectly normal conversation ender.
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colours. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.”

Over the centuries, mankind has tried many ways of combating the forces of evil...prayer, fasting, good works and so on. Up until Doom, no one seemed to have thought about the double-barrel shotgun. Eat leaden death, demon...

I'm just about to dive into the #Discworld thingy, starting with The Colour Of Magic. Wish me luck!

“Cats are like witches. They don’t fight to kill, but to win. There is a difference. There’s no point in killing an opponent. That way, they won’t know they’ve lost, and to be real winner you have to have an opponent who is beaten and knows it.”

@jwildeboer PCs with iconographs... tempting!
It's #discworld my graduation work from #ceramiartisan school. As everyone knows Discworld is world that author #sirterrypratchet imagined and it's been in huge part of my life since childhood. Every year I read or listen the whole saga through. #ceramic #sculpture #art #fantasy #fantasyart

@Anoia #Discworld reference aside, this is immediately nonsense. Colour is a spectrum, with our species able to detect variations within a range. We name some of these, particularly Red Yellow and Blue, and their overlaps Orange Green and Purple/Violet. Newton added a 7th, because he believed there had to be 7 (Indigo and Violet ).Everything in between is just shades, that sometimes we name (e.g.Turquoise). Beyond visible spectrum we've chosen to name UV and infrared, that we don't see.
Go on, prove me wrong. Destroy the fabric of the universe. See if I care.

Dear Scientists, #TerryPratchett already discovered this. It's called #Octarine

After a lengthy wait for “The Colour of Magic” to come in at the library, I’ve finally started reading the Discworld series. I think Death is going to be a favourite character.
#Discworld news: Wee Free Men, Thief of Time and Monstrous Regiment are being adapted into graphic novels with Transworld and Puffin.
