[Bouncy Castle]

Your point being...........?

 

[poohcarrot]

...absolutely zero! It was just an observation, like your Miss Marple observation (which wasn't yours, coz you were too slow ). Like Dave C's Miss Marple observation.

 

[Bickaxe]

You're right!! Why didn't I see it before?



















It is complete pants

 

[poohcarrot]

I did say it was, Bickie-kins!

 

[deldaisy]

Ham and eggs!

 

[captainmeme]

I would put SM under Death goes AWOL...

... But then again, I've never read the book...

 

[Tonyblack]

And Hogfather. Death is always going AWOL.

 

[DaveC]

Seems like he exists to go away!

 

[One Man Bucket]

Snuff is almost certain to be a Vimes-centric book so your theory is somewhat lacking there

It could be the first of a new pair?

 

[poohcarrot]

...or it could be an Orc pair.

 

[One Man Bucket]

They say it's about goblins but since Nutt was masquerading as a goblin you may be right.

How about The Truth? That seemed pretty stand alone to me unless you tie it with Going Postal as printing but that's an extremely tenuous link

New technology would link it with GP while newspaper wise it links nicely with Monstrous Regiment

 

[One Man Bucket]

I can't think of any more critics of this theory so it passes muster

 

[Tonyblack]

Nah, The Truth links with Thud! because they both begin with T and they both have dwarfs in.

 

[pip]

and they're both set on discworld

 

[poohcarrot]

They mocked Galileo too.
