Hi Eddy, I am curious to ask what you like about this reading/author; what does the content mean to you.
cheers, Bill

I find Small Gods to be one of Terry's best.

Well, thanks, but I am confused by what appears to be a reading of a copyrighted work by Terry Pratchett by some grinning manic idiot ... with no mention of a license to do same.
thanks, Bill

I hadn't even considered that. Should I remove the link?
Still, youtube hosts it and uses it to generate revenue, and from the intro I learned that it is the 13th book.

Hi, No, I'm not suggesting you report it; it's hard for me to imagine an author of Pratchett's status and popularity (or, his fans) allowing the complete work to be read by Joe Maniac on YouTube ... the work is on Audible as a pay-for [^]. I'm just puzzled how this content has stayed up given the fact YouTube does police IP content.
cheers, Bill

Wow. I thought there was some law of nature against me agreeing with you.

You'd also find something agreeable in the stuff that an infinite amount of monkeys generate.
Might not happen again for another 12 years.

well, post the homework calculus on the lounge Q&A,
... and to ensure you are still doing a fair share of work do twice as much alcohol.

There was a saying at university :

If you try otherwise, it does not work.

Federal Election day here in Aus. No idea who is in the party, no idea if they even have any policies let alone what they are. But they are not Labor or Liberal (the two parties who are the only real chance of being elected) or one of those Jesus/What ever those other goddy types are or environmental.
I'm expecting my eye patch in the mail shortly.

We have something similar next week. Although we are voting for people to become members of a parliament that we voted to leave, and should have left almost two months ago. If the Pirate Party are standing I may well be tempted.

We have the Monster Raving Loony Party[^] who are probably much the same mob.
They never do that well (except in byelections) but they do tend to come up with some good policies (such as reporting the Welsh Dragon to the monopolies commission as there is only one).

If the Australian Pirate Party is similar to the original one is Sweden then it's a serious party. Pirate Parties have won appreciable shares of the vote in general elections in some countries.
See Pirate Party - Wikipedia[^]

Years ago we had the Rhinoceros party here in Canada. One year they announced their platform was a sundeck.
I miss them.
MM - instead of marking your ballot with an ‘X’. Did you mark it with an ‘Arrrrrghh’?

I reckon they put more thought in to their shite than any of the parties here did.

Unfortunately here in Australian we have to mark at least 6 boxes starting with a 1 next to our prefer candidate and moving down from there.
