Salzella => Astfgl

(How do you pronounce "Astfgl", anyway? Both Tony and Stephen pronounce it as "ASSSSS-te-fe-gl", where the two connecting "e"s are very short and softly pronounced, so they're barely audible).

League of Temperance => Eric :twisted:

(By the way, does the League of Temperance remind anybody of the Prohibition movement - at least in its intentions? After all, the women behind the idea of Prohibition also thought that they were doing the right thing: men not drinking meant men not coming home drunk and beating their wives, as well as having more money in their pockets etc. And to ensure that their menfolk touched "not one drop", they smashed the bottles. :twisted:

Of course, Discworld's vampires haven't organised speakeasies or bootleggers or the Mafia - but...) :p

Eric => C.M.O.T. Dibbler

I'm not so sure - when Biers serves a Bloody Mary, they don't serve a metaphor, and there's no sign, you just have to know it's there.
That sounds like a speakeasy to me.
