assault Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Re: Character: Sam Vimes Are you sure you don't mean a garter? A garter belt goes around the waist and has elastic bands that stretch down and clip to the tops of the stockings. Or that's what I thought? That's what he meant. The original comment from "V" was: >grins< I just like to be clear when addressing the transatlantic audience. Oh how my mind boggled when I heard an American friend tell me how he used to enjoy wearing suspenders but discovered they weren't acceptable in his workplace. Well naturally, thinks I, but said nothing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"V" Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Re: Character: Sam Vimes I've just found another very appropriate quote about Vimes that illustrates his tenacity as well as the reputation he enjoys for getting the job done. Vetinari leaned back and stared at the ceiling. 'Tell me, Drumknott, are you a betting man?' 'I have been known to have the occasional little "flutter", sir.' 'Given, then, a contest between an invisible and very powerful quasi-demonic thing of pure vengeance on the one hand, and the commander on the other, where would you wager, say...one dollar?' 'I wouldn't, sir. That looks like one that would go to the judges.' 'Yes,' said Vetinari, staring thoughtfully at the closed door. 'Yes, indeed.' (from THUD!)
