My dearly beloved was roommates with KKB when both studying at Kingston University like a decade ago.

Seriously.

I have met them a few times and get guestlist to their shows now. They are bloody lovely and I am a huge, huge fan of their music.

Is this the only KKB thread we have here?

I know that I found out about the band through these boards, so that doesn’t feel right since it was long before Time ‘n’ Place came out.

There was this thread on the old boards

The ‘Luck’ in the song ‘Little Bit of Luck’ by DJ Luck & MC Neat (probably) refers to DJ Luck himself and not the abstract concept of luck

Great a’Tuin = great at chewing

only took me 28 years :man_facepalming: I’m not even reading Pratchett at the moment, the thought came from absolutely nowhere. WTF?

‘a shot in the arm’ is a good thing, like a steroid shot not a bullet shot. I’ve never really thought about it before but you’d have thought it would be obvious from context :flushed:

I don’t get this. Are turtles famous for chewing or something?

#4158

I’m assuming so, because I can’t imagine it’s an accidental pun. I would say tortoises look like they’re good at chewing, so turtles too maybe?

#4159

I don’t think it’s a pun at all

hmmm. on one hand it’s a pretty weird pun to coin, on the other hand so many of his names are puns/plays on words. Dunno what to think

I’m not convinced it’s a pun, either. I think it’s just a generic fantasy name, like most of the others in The Colour Of Magic. If I remember right, the puns on names came later, don’t even think Vetinari is named until Sourcery?

FWIW I’ve always pronounced it with a hard T (A-TOO-in), anyway.

Sean Bean’s real name is Shaun Bean, so he chose to use a visually confusing name that looks like it should rhyme but doesn’t
