    Fair enough, but who was the prototype dibbler in the nightwatch?
    That was Cut Me Own Throat when he was just getting started and hadn't adopted his catch-phrase yet.

    Oddly enough, I like Gaspode the wonder dog. He's such a cheeky little bugger.
    Otherwise, Esme Weatherwax or DEATH come joint second.

    Have to be honest, its hard to decide between DEATH or CMOT, both fantastic charectors. But simply because we all probably know at least one 'Cut me own throat' it would have to be him. If ever Del boy was reworked in fiction its him. :)

    Esme Weatherwax and Lord Vetinari, I never know which one of them should go first, so I place them ex aequo. They could be even my role models if I weren't so damn lazy ;)

    Vimes or Death for me. It's hard to pick though, each set of characters are great in their own way, big soft spot for the wizards and witches too.

    Loved some of the bit part characters such as Foul Old Ron (and his smell), Duckman, Snowy Slopes, Gaspod the Dog and Quoth the Raven. Bloody Stupid Johnson also gives me a giggle everytime he is mentioned.


    Gotta love Nobby

    Surprised no-one's said Leonard of Quirm yet.

    Genius of a man. Just a bit... daft, in his way.
    It takes a special kind of intellect to draw a perfect circle absentmindedly, or doodle WMDs in the margins.
