@sgunhouse No wukkas, i'm a globalist*.

*Blatant lie, tbh.

Instead, every day i tempt the four elephants with some juicy branches held just out of trunk-range, hoping they might wander off the back of the giant star turtle... just to then see what "fun" might ensue on the oblivious disc above...

[sgunhouse]

@guigirl Given the sizes involved, those branches would need to be huge to even be noticed by any of the elephants. But keep on trying.

[guigirl]

@sgunhouse It passes the time.

Anyway, as they say in the classics, it's not the size of your branch that matters, but how you use it.

@guigirl Dare I ask "Which elephant?"
As they are all "Rimward", I find it hard to distinguish!?

[guigirl]

@tbgbe Please keep your nasty elephantist prejudices to yourself! They all look the same to you ... sheesh!

Next he'll be having a go at the lilies, or the birds!

[TbGbe]

@guigirl That's unfair!
You just said "four elephants" - but obviously you can't be teasing ALL of them!

[guigirl]

@tbgbe Sorry, sometimes my inner-monster breaks all the shackles & leaps forth. She's back inside now.

[guigirl]

[nomadic]

@tbgbe Clearly @guigirl was successful in the taunting as there should be 5 elephants.

 
* Haven't actually gotten to "reading" that one yet. Jingo is next on the list.

P.S. - @TbGbe, I have wanted to ask you if you happened to be a librarian at Unseen University?

[guigirl]

@nomadic Will Bruce be in the movie?

[guigirl]

@tbgbe said in six × nine = ?:

"Rimward"

Each time my eyes fall onto this, i momentarily misread it as Rimmerworld...

[nomadic]

@guigirl Not sure if they were able to get Bruce, but they are already doing makeup tests with Gary Oldman in the role of the elephant

@nomadic hah, Merka never sleeps to put my ideas into words… & steal the joy from me

i didn’t know there was a fellow Discworld fan here, btw.

Reading this blog article, I wanted to take a look at Vivaldi partner's site (namely «Polestar»).

That's what I got first (JS disabled…):

Then, I got this (JS enabled for the site):

@hlehyaric You can blame Citroën for that last one

@pathduck Thanks for info.
It doesn't matter if I can't visit Polestar's site as I really don't care (though I'll be able using a VPN), but the case is «interesting» . It seems they have some spare time at Citroën…

Is anyone NOT a fan?

@nomadic I do like books
P.S. I hope you're reading in order - if so, some good ones still to come

you mean any1? dunno, would have to ask them.

there’s one exception to that which i made by lucky accident – Guards! Guards! better be read before any other books about them.

I am going through them in published order. Saw lots of suggestions online to do each storyline separately, but I wanted to see how the world developed as the books go along.

There are also a few small references that would be missed it you read some storylines before another.

I do like books

Noted. Will have to be careful about accidentally referring to you as a monkey

That's what I did, too.
Then I re-read from the beginning until I got the next one

Then, after getting them all ( ), I re-read in the "separate stories" arc, just for fun.

Then watched the "movies" and "series".
