What ?!?! That's cheeky as a monkey stealing a grandma's purse in the middle of LA.
Don't ask for review tickets if you don't intend to publish the review... AND They should have brought their own bloody photographer !!!!!!

In Terry's Discworld series, the clacks are a type of semaphore towers.

3 of the codes are:

G: send the message on
N: do not log the message
U: turn the message around at the end of the line and send it back again

GNU before a name meant the name would continuously be "spoken" on the clacks.

We have so many personal memories from the many years we spent in Terry's company and we would love to read your memories of your time with the man himself.

Drop your favourite memory of him in the comments below.

Terry is pictured here at the naming of the streets in Wincanton. He was about to place his hands in cement for a plaque and then scrawl his signature upon it using a stick. Many fans were there dressed up as characters from his books. We were busy taking photographs for Discworld Monthly.
