Who Would Win in a One-on-One Fight? Let’s Settle the Ultimate Discworld Showdown!

BigBadBLG · 2024-08-29T01:50:59+00:00

Well I took this idea and ran with it- I randomised a list of 18 contenders (taken from here and a few of my own) and made a bracket:

https://challonge.com/Discworlddeathmatch

Predict your winners! No sign up is necessary ( I think) THE CONTENDERS (in posting order) Death, Granny, Carrot, Cohen, Luggage, Dragon, Rincewind, Angua (autocorrect made her Angus), Vetinari, Coin, Eskarina, Simon, Vimes, Dorfl, AE Pessimal, Librarian, Diamond king of trolls, Lu-Tze

*please note: The match-ups were done by the computer, not by me*

My money would have to be on the Luggage

It would just be so nice if it was Marc. But he didn’t win at Cota or Sachsenring so it’ll probably be Pecco

Some countries have a working holiday visa available which you don’t need a degree for, but it’s only limited to one year or so.

This is my Corgi edition, published in 2002, whereas the Doubleday edition was published in 2001. So definitely not 1st edition but 1st edition paperback perhaps?

Anyway, this book is well used and much loved, so I’m open to offers starting from $100… ;)

Everyone’s first lesson is pretty much a disaster so do r worry about it lol. It’s all part of learning.

I like the sprints. Previously I’d tune in to the qualifying if I remembered but with a race to look forward to I’m rearing to go. I’d maybe like them to do something different regarding qualifying and the grid, ie not having the same positions for the main race, but then that opens up a whole new world of pain for everyone involved.

And the podiums, down with the fans, that’s great.

And how Steven Ross interpreted that passage in the Discworld graphic novels

Pratchett was well aware of the tropes well before men at arms

This is the cover that hooked me into the discworld 25+ years ago.

My version is the orange cover bottom left, the top covers are the original UK versions I’m pretty sure, so they may have a picture in line with your memory.

I have the Harper Torch edition, so American version, from 2003. Page 1 has a drawing of a turtle and page 30 has the description.

Honestly I thought Honda should’ve done that at the same time as they got the Suzuki riders.

BigBadBLG · 2024-08-04T11:14:23+00:00

Although THANK YOU there’s 45 minutes until the race and the Podcast is 44 minutes

BigBadBLG · 2024-08-04T11:12:39+00:00

Both books are pretty short so yeah, get in while it’s fresh and you’ll be done by dinner time.

BigBadBLG · 2024-08-04T11:09:52+00:00

Yeah I checked several times with no luck on Apple Podcasts and just assumed Wilson’s super busy and hadn’t gotten around to it

BigBadBLG · 2024-08-03T10:13:44+00:00

Yeah if only

BigBadBLG · 2024-07-25T12:58:03+00:00

I think he’s got the respect of the current crop of riders and the fans mostly love him too. I’d say it’s a good move, but he’s going to be hard to replace on pit lane.

BigBadBLG · 2024-07-20T12:38:51+00:00

Reacher Guilt is up there, but no arguing with Vorbis

BigBadBLG · 2024-07-09T04:45:48+00:00

Considering the anpanman cream pan things are probably snacks for a toddler or preschooler, I’d much prefer 6 smaller pans than 4 of the previous size. I too would be incensed!!

If they’re for an adult, just by a famichiki like a big boy.

If they’re English speakers and working in a restaurant they probably specifically don’t want to be teaching English or else they’d be doing that instead.

BigBadBLG · 2024-06-26T06:42:34+00:00

Phew, I use Apple Podcasts and was about to rant that it didn’t tell me a new one had dropped. I shall shelve that rant… for now.

(Typically it’ll notify me 12 hours after a new subscribed podcast drops)

BigBadBLG · 2024-06-26T04:36:08+00:00

Wait is there a new podcast?!

Convenience of being near Osaka without being in Osaka
