Finally, though I own it for some time, I've managed to actually read Thud!

Oh, it's fantastic, isn't it? The Vimes books are still the best - I mean, the witches make a close second, but Vimes will always be the best 
This seems as good a place as any to put my very first signature:

It's the feeling that there must be some unknown story behind the poem that is so intriguing... A very brief extract from Walter de La Mare's 'The Listeners' - lovely poem, not sure why I like it so much, but it is one of my favourite poems.
