1. Editorial
Welcome to issue 125. Well, last month's issue might have been
technologically great - having sent it from a campsite in the north
of Devon - but unfortunately there were a couple of mistakes that
got through.
Firstly I forgot to announce the winners of the competition, so now
to correct that. The winner of the Belt Buckle is Robin Felton and
the winner of the first day cover is Emma Powdrill!
Hopefully, once the Cunning Artificer has recovered from the
Jamboree he will get your prizes out to you.
Secondly I forgot to mention that Sam Vimes also appears in The
Truth and Where's My Cow? Thanks to everyone that pointed out my
mistake.
----------
The beginning of August proved to be a very busy time for me. After
spending two days as an extra on The Colour of Magic I spent the
next three days at the Discworld Jamboree.
I'll let you know about my experiences of being an extra next month.
I've just heard that The Mob have decided to invite a number of the
original extras back to do some more extra work at the end of
September. I've put my name down so hopefully I'll be able to tell
you more later.
On Wednesday 15th August I got invited to Pinewood Studios to watch
some of the edge of the world scenes be filmed for The Colour of
Magic and to meet some of the cast. I had an opportunity to talk to
James Cosmo (Galder Weatherwax), Liz May Brice (Herrena) and Karen
David (Liessa). All three seem very enthusiastic about their
characters.
I was able to see a few rough edits of footage that were carefully
being put together and they looked brilliant. Having seen them
really makes me feel confident that this will be a great production.
I've also received some more cast news from Colin Smythe. Nigel
P***r is the Arch-Astronomer, Marnix Van Den Broeke again appears
as Death, Nicholas Tennant (who played Corporal Nobbs in Hogfather)
is the Librarian (prior to transformation), and Terry will again
appear in a cameo role.
----------
Don't forget, if you visit a play or a talk and would like to let
the world know about it, please feel free to email your review to
oook@discworldmonthly.co.uk and we will consider it for publication.

Eve Smith
towards a PhD on Discworld at Liverpool John Moores University. You
can help me with my research by filling out a questionnaire at
http://www.survey.ljmu.ac.uk/discworld.
Rather than a straightforward literary analysis of Discworld my PhD
falls within the discipline of cultural studies and is looking
specifically at how comedy interacts with society. As part of this
I am very interested in finding out about Discworld fans. I have
selected subscribers of Discworld Monthly as a target group because
you represent a diverse level of fandom, from a reader who may at
one time have tried to discover a reading order for the books and
then thought it might be interesting to hear about developments in
the Discworld, through to the most avid fan who goes to every book
signing and convention and has a vast collection of Discworld
artefacts.
Much of the questionnaire gives options that you are asked to
select. However, there are a number of questions asking why you like
certain characters or books and although I would be grateful for
even a simple a response I will read and consider all responses even
if they are verging on essay length. I anticipate that with short
answers to the why type questions that the questionnaire should take
15-20 minutes to complete. Obviously if you give longer answers this
will take more or your time, but it will also make my research a lot
more interesting.
Finally the ethics committee have asked me to exclude under 16's
from this research. I think this is a shame particularly because I
am focussing on the Tiffany books in another part of my research,
but I have to follow the rules. So please if you are under 16 do
not attempt to complete the questionnaire. If you are over 16 the
questionnaire can be found at
http://www.survey.ljmu.ac.uk/discworld.

3. Readers' Letters
If you have any letters or comments, please email them to
oook@discworldmonthly.co.uk
We assume any correspondence is eligible for use in the newsletter
unless otherwise stated, including the sender's email address. We
may also edit your letters and use them to pad William's bra.
It is vitally important that you don't pass off other people's work
as your own. If you use information from other resources please let
us know so we can give proper credit.
The best letter of the month will receive a Kiss the Cook print
supplied by Bonsai Trading. Sadly Bonsai Trading is no longer
trading but John Pagan has kindly offered to continue supplying the
monthly prize until his stock runs out. I will be collecting the
remaining stock from John at Wadfest and will then back issue the
prizes.

As a fan of the now sadly defunct Cheerycomic, I caught a site
recently while looking for more examples of web comics; and I was
pleased to find another Pterry fan. The site
http://www.macguff.fr/goomi/unspeakable/vault32.html is a tribute to
the Cthlulu mythology of HP Lovecraft, and as I'm not an expert a
good few of the in-jokes go over my head, but this one hit the right
spot; Vault #32. A bit of back story to Rincewind's trip through the
Dungeon Dimensions, perhaps?

I thought you and your readers may be as amused as I was to find
spammers have sent me a message with the, I assume, random title of:
"There was Grandfather Lezek, of course, on his little farm so
poor that even the sparrows had to kneel down to eat."
Ah, you've Made It, Terry! Who needs movies of your books when the
scammers are bulk mailing your words to the masses for free!
(Funnily enough, that quote is from my favourite of Discworld
stories, Soul Music. Maybe I should help them with their 'money
transfer' this time lest I draw the ire of Susan, who appears to be
writing for them these days? )
DWM replies: Amy get this month's Letter of the Month.

I would like to broach the subject of brooches with Jason Anthony!
Brooches are what you pin on your clothes, a broach is a roasting
spit or a church tower; it is also a verb, often used in reference
to a cask of wine or a barrel of ale - which I'm sure had nothing to
do with the mistake!
JA replies: Stupid English language. Why have two words with very
different meanings spelt differently but sounding the same! Who cam
up with that idea? And why didn't the proof readers pick up on it?

* From: "Sam Young"

Thanks so much for your excellent newsletter. It is always a
splendid read, keeping even far-flung Antipodean Pratchett fans up
to date with all the Discworld goss. However, one small point (don't
you just love it when a Pratchett fan says that? You can be sure
that there will be a nit-picking, infinitesimally small and
unimportant-in-the-scheme-of-things item to create debate over). In
the Cunning Artificer's new website launch answers, question one's
answer was given as "Cockeral or Rooster (for our overseas
readers)". In my experience, a 'cock' or 'rooster' is a grown male
chicken, and a cockerel - note spelling! - is a young male chicken
(see Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockerel). Yours in
nit-pickery!
JA replies: Should I start getting paranoid now?! Almost every
letter this month is "nit-picking"! Oh well, at least I am getting
an education whilst being dragged over the hot coals.

G'day all,
I just wanted to thank everyone once more who put in so much to make
the Discworld Jamboree such a great event. A most sincere Thanks to
Bernard & Isobel and all the Troop at the Discworld Emporium. I
would also like to thank everyone who took the time to talk to us
during the course of the weekend and especially those who offered us
assistance along the way. We really were blown away by how kind and
generous everyone was, Hew and I are eternally grateful.
I have said to a number of people already and I will no doubt say
again, the weekend really captured the spirit of Scouting. And as my
friend and I have been genuine Scouts all our lives, and are now
Scout Leaders (Down Under), I can be positive when I say that. Who
knows perhaps B.P.(or his Discworld counterpart) was looking down
over us all.
Many people we met may also like to know that while we brought the
fine weather with us to the Jamboree, we also brought the weather
home to Brisbane with us and the heavens opened up with blessed rain
and hasn't stopped for a week now. (Though an aweful lot more is
needed to get us out of drought).
James Hanlon,
Ecksian Contingent

5. Review: The Discworld Jamboree 2007
Review by Jason Anthony.
I had a few issues with traffic on the way down to Wincanton so
unfortunately missed the Opening Ceremony of the first Discworld
Jamboree based in Wincanton on the weekend of the 3rd - 5th August
2007.
I had been asked by Bernard (The Cunning Artificer) to produce
regular electronic updates of activities over the weekend via my
blog (http://blog.discworldmonthly.co.uk) so I located the Tech
centre where I would be able to set up my laptop. It was while
connecting up to make my opening post that I realised the tech guys
were in a bit of a panic. The stage lights were causing a few
issues - so naturally I offered to help. I was handed the manual
and asked to find out what was wrong and tell them in the morning.
For the first time in a while I managed to catch all of Rob Lupine's
excellent magic show. Rob is this year's close-up magician of the
year and his skill and confidence has improved dramatically over the
last few years. Rob kept us entertained for over an hour with his
speciality mind reading tricks. It was a thoroughly enjoyable hour.
After the magic show I headed off to find food and got an excellent
steak and chips from "sorry no burgers", the on-site caterers.
After my food I headed to the beer tent for a drink or two. We
finally got asked to leave the beer tent at around 2am so the bar
staff could get some rest. We decided to raid our drink supplies
and played drinking games until 5am. This seemed like a good idea
at the time until I realised I had promised to help with the lights
at 9am. So after a solid 3-and-a-bit hours sleep I got up,
performed my daily ablutions and headed off to the tech area. After
checking the manual and making a couple of trips up a ladder (for
head tech Tony) we discovered the problems with the lights and were
back in business. I spent most of Saturday helping the tech guys
get all the mikes wired and working while the gang show and
Maskerade organisers fitted in their rehearsals.
The next event was the Maskerade and the quality of the costumes was
brilliant. It never ceases to amaze me how inventive some of the
costumes and acts are. In the end Pam Gower won first prize for her
ghoul and as Terry decided this was an official Discworld Maskerade
she was to become the temporary owner of the silver Great A'Tuin.
After a brief delay, we got everyone seated for the highlight of the
event, the Gang Show. It was incredible that PTim and Dave Trace
managed to organise such an amazing couple of hours of entertainment
in such a short period of time. As part of the tech team we spent
most of the show ensuring correct sound effects happened and that
the lights were right. I managed to get off a few entries in the
blog before, during and after the show. Once the show was completed
we dismantled as many of the mikes as possible, stowed them all away
and went looking for food. Unfortunately the caterers had just shut
up shop but a quick word with them meant we could have another bacon
and egg roll so I was happy. We then headed back to the bear tent
until we were asked to leave at 2am. [The bear's were knackered -
WB] This time however I needed to be up at 8am so I decided to call
it a night.
Sunday was quite a relaxed affair for the tech crew. We only had to
be ready for the charity auction, so we took advantage of the
weather and relaxed in the sun for most of the morning - whilst
activities such as the witch trials took place.
At around noon we headed over to the Okeydokey Corral for a massive
water pistol fight. It was actually very refreshing getting hit by
gallons of cold water on such a hot day. After drying off we made
sure the stage was set up for the auction.
The auction went on for longer than expected - as auctions tend to
do - so I was unable to see it through to the end as I had a family
engagement I had to attend. This meant that I also missed the
closing ceremony as well.
I am afraid that working in Tech, I failed to get to see many of the
events such as the Mothers Institutes Synchronised Swimming, the
Witch Trials, the re-enactment team, the morris dancers or the
Wessex Bird of Prey Rescue team.
Even so, I had an excellent time and it appears so did everyone
else. There are already rumours of a 2009 Discworld Jamboree. It
just goes to show how insane the organisers really are. There is a
section on the Jamboree website that includes links to the thousands
of photos that were taken at the event. For more information visit
http://www.discworldjamboree.co.uk/jamboree07/
--------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Competitions

7. Review: Men at Arms live in Sydney, Australia
Review by Sashi
The Archchancellors Men, in association with NUTS, performed "Men at
Arms" at the Seymour Centre, Sydney, Australia from June 28 to July
14. It was advertised as "a Discworld detective story about a gun,
monarchy, racial tension and class struggle in a thrilling blend of
comedy, fantasy and social commentary."
I attended the June 6 show with five friends who had never read
Discworld before. "Men at Arms" was my first Discworld novel and
holds a very special place in my heart, so we each wondered whether
we would enjoy ourselves. We all had an absolutely fantastic time,
though, and I'd like to say thank you and congratulations to
everyone involved in this production.
Before I move on to the cast (who were brilliant), the sound and
lighting crew really deserve a special mention (the gonne's sickly
green light and the final song selection were particular
highlights). The stage, props and costumes were in some places a
little rough (Angua's Watch uniform was really just a tunic,
stockings and boots) but they suited the characters and setting
pretty well, overall.
I hadn't realised so much of the action in "Men at Arms" was centred
on Carrot (who was perfectly cast). To my mind, Vimes was always the
hero of the book and I really enjoyed his performance, although my
friends were a bit confused by his frequent and sudden changes in
mood from anger to despair and back again. Of course, I told them to
go read the books and discover the backstory for themselves, whch
some of my friends have since done. Nevertheless, whilst we may have
disagreed on the Vimes character, all the girls agreed he was quite
cute.
I really enjoyed my friends' dissections of the various characters -
they thought Sybil was "a bit bossy", Nobby was "the dodgy Watchman"
and Vetinari was the one with "the deadly voice and the fantastic
Matrix coat". The first appearance of Death - seven feet tall,
hooded and cloaked with glowing blue eye sockets - caused a minor
amount of freaking out, which quickly turned to laughter as Death
attempted Humour with disastrous results...
The rest of the cast was great. Detritus really did look like as
though he was a troll, the costume and make up would have taken ages
but were worth it. Angua appeared to be channelling Kirsten Dunst
and made for a very believable PLT werewolf, although the pelt she
used as a wolfskin didn't really look like fur. Cuddy was played
very sympathetically, and Edward, the Lords, the clowns and all the
others filled their roles well. One friend thought the best actor
was the one who played Sgt Colon, but to my mind, nothing could beat
Gaspode the dog. He was played by a small scruffy grey dog, operated
by a man with a ponytail dressed in black. They would come out on
stage, and the man would throw himself wholly and totally into the
character of the little dog, giving him the perfect voice and
characteristics.
My friends and I had such a great time. We can't wait for the next
one...

8. Article: Guards! Guards! Production Diary - Part 2
By Jax (betties@blueyonder.co.uk)
Considering there haven't been any rehearsals as the group is having
their summer break, this month has been one of ups and downs. There
was me thinking that this entry in the diary would be quite short
(along the lines of "had summer break, wrote rehearsal schedule,
didn't do much else"), which would have been great as nothing very
dramatic (excuse the pun) would have happened, but that just wasn't
to be.
So what is the bad news? Well, two-fold really; it turns out that
there is another theatre group performing a Discworld play during
the same week as ours, which means that some of our audience will
want to see that other play too (although as long as they come along
to mine, I don't mind! :D ), and that I won't be able to go and see
this other play! A cast member did suggest that we try moving our
play a week forward, but that would have meant losing out on a
couple of cast members as they had plans for that week that couldn't
be changed.
More importantly than that though, I have lost a cast member! Now
this is drastic, as I've now got to jig around the casting and try
and ask people to take on more characters than before, although we
are trying to lure someone else in to help us out.
On the plus side, lots of flyers were handed out during the Jamboree
and posters were stuck up (many thanks to Domino Falling and her
friends!), and we've got a good start on the costumes for the
watchmen. And yet that headache that I mentioned last month is
getting worse...

continue to remain so for as long as it continues. However, the
costs of maintaining the web site, postage, travel etc. adds up. If
you feel you would like to make a small contribution towards these
costs please consider doing so via either http://www.paypal.com or
http://www.nochex.com
My account for each of these is oook@discworldmonthly.co.uk
Thanks
