Yay - darn this means I have to make one up.

I don't know how many of you have read the Discworld novels but my favourites are the ones about Commander Vimes and his wife Sybil. Both of them are very funny, as are the books.

One word and its very easy.

Well, I got two, Rethe:

and Bilbo:

Sybil. Both

, but I guess the first just happened to be there by coincidence

Kath · 04-19-2004, 11:48 AM

See said it was easy.
I was only looking for Bilbo so you got it right, but extra points for rethe!

Evisse the Blue · 04-20-2004, 03:27 AM

Thanks for the extra points, Kath.
Ok, let's see...

He pushed open the door of his room in the new age hotel. 'A normal one would be better', he thought gloomily. The radio in the walls was shrieking: 'Life is a cabaret, old chum'. Barely seeing his way through the dimly lit room, he moved towards a many- layered window to pull open the blinds. 'Cabaret, heh, yeah, right!' he mumbled ironically, at the scene that greeted him.

There's four to be found.

Kath · 04-20-2004, 03:02 PM

You're welcome.
I found:
ent - opEN The
elanor - hotEL. 'ANORmal
sam - towardS A Many
rethe - cabaRET, HEh

**The Saucepan Man** · 04-20-2004, 07:23 PM

There's also " A normal one" - Ormal.

Evisse the Blue · 04-22-2004, 06:10 AM

Kath, you got two that I had in mind (Elanor and Rethe) and two which I didn't (Sam and Ent), for which you get a bonus!

Saucepan Man gets bonus point as well for Ormal.

There's still two place names to be found though, so keep browsing!

Kath · 04-26-2004, 03:11 AM

'Quick! Eat that ham faster, we have to lay forth the anchor and save Frodo!"
Three to find and no Frodo is not one of them.

Thorongil · 04-26-2004, 03:45 AM

HAM FASTer - Hamfast
EAt - Ea
TO Lay - Tol, as in Tol Eressea

Mad Baggins · 04-22-2004, 05:03 PM

And you may see humbar, but I see Umbar.

Evisse the Blue · 04-23-2004, 04:28 AM

umbar is correct but you keep missing that heavenly place called ....

Mad Baggins · 04-23-2004, 06:40 PM

'A normal

I found Anor, as in Minas Anor. That's the best I can do...if that isn't it I'm stumped.

Evisse the Blue · 04-26-2004, 01:15 AM

You're right , Mad Baggins, but there's yet another one...ok, I'll give it away - it's Aman - towards A MANy.

Now, for points - Kath got four,
Saucepan Man- one,
Mad Baggins - three.

According to this, Kath should give us the next one!
