I'm sighing. Can you hear me sighing? The LOTR Return of the King special edition DVD will not be coming out until December.

In order to console those mourners around me, here's a little Terry Pratchett to keep you all amused. These are all from Feet of Clay, which has a character named Cheery Littlebottom :)

"There's no men and women in the Watch, just a bunch of lads. You'll soon learn the language. Basically it's how much beer you supped last night, how strong the curry was you had afterwards, and where you were sick. Just think egotesticle. You'll soon get the hang of it." (italics are my own)

"And for the most part, [dwarves] were unconcerned about matters of height. There's a dwarfish saying: 'All trees are felled at ground-level' - although this is said to be an excessively bowlderized translation for a saw which more literally means 'When his hands are higher than your head, his groin is level with your teeth.'

Colon fell back. 'We're lyin' in the gutter, Nobby,' he moaned. 'Ooo.'

'We're all lying in the gutter, Fred. But some of us are lookin' at the stars...'

Thanks to Kanga for doing all the hard work of switching me over. Good to hear you'll be blogging soon Little Chicken (where the hell did that name come from?). Highness, do you know if you can change the colour of that damn blogger thing at the top of the page? It's totally not groovin' with the green of my new digs.

Log into blogger, and click on the name of your blog. You'll then see a bunch of tabs at the top. Choose Template. This will take you to the sub-tab of edit current. Above all kinds of html and css you'll see something that says "change the blogger navbar." You can select a new colour for it (I'd suggest silver for you colour scheme). Then select Save template changes (it's at the bottom of the page. You'll then be asked to repulish your blog. I'd choose republish index because it will just republish your temaplate and not your whole blog and take less time.

E-mail me if you have more questions!
