When I was working I was making low polygon (sp?) stags heads and hares and erm spaceships. I tried tinkering with 3d modelling and found it utterly impossible. Every time I see a printer being used I become a very silly old Hector..

Oh, okay it's fine when Trump does it, but it's STILL a problem that the brits did it 200 years ago...

Fair point.. (David Jason should not have played Rincewind) BBC did a police procedural thing based on The Guard. I wont say based on any particular book as for the most part they just used character names and the Turtles all the way down thing

Also see that terrible Discworld travesty , which was so bad everyone pretends it didnt happen...
