Filipendula: /* Locations of Watch-houses:- */

Same old problem with alphabetical listing...--[[User:Vsl|Vsl]] 02:36, 13 February 2006 (CET)

==Librarian==
I wouldn't think the [[Librarian]] qualifies as a member of the Watch. He seems to be more of a member of the Specials. Though he does tend to be mentioned more times then other specials. One could say he was the first ''special''.

[[User:Fhh98|Fhh98]] 05:53, 7 October 2006 (CEST)

I'd like to point out that if we include the librarian and ae pessimal, we should probably include mr Boggis, Willikins and Andy Hancock then. Should I add them, or delete the librarian or pessimal from the list? --[[User:CommanderJake, AMCW|CommanderJake, AMCW]] 19:37, 18 May 2007 (CEST)

The Librarian ('Special Ape Services') has been a fairly consistent aid to the Watch, and Pessimal was expected to become a regular Watchman as soon as he finished his report. The others are more obviously temporary.--[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 21:07, 18 May 2007 (CEST)

Maybe a special 'Specials' section would be in order - or just a heading with a link to [[Specials]] --[[User:Hapenny|Hapenny]] 13:42, 19 December 2007 (CET)

Oh, no - the Baker Street Irregulars are back. The problems with this suggestion (which I seem to remember rejecting before) are (a)The Irregulars were on the side of the angels. (b)They weren't any kind of a police force; they were street urchins, more like a juvenile [[Canting Crew]] than the Particulars. Altogether, the only similarity is in the construction of the name, so it might have been the E Street Band, too. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 22:21, 18 February 2008 (CET)

== Roundworld Referent ==

I'm not sure, which is why I haven't put it on the main page, but I seem to remember that Antoine de Sartine (commander of the city police and Watch in Paris) had a coat of arms (as described by R.A. Wilson) which is not a million miles away from that which was withdrawn from the Vimes family, following that unfortunate business between Old Stoneface and King Lorenzo. Wonder if this historical figure was on TP's mind when developing the character of Vimes, as Sartine by all accounts ended up as more than just a mere policeman... he went on to become a diplomat, a spymaster, and ultimately an Admiral with responsibility for modernising the French fleet. Given what Vimes has also been tasked with, two out of three of these (diplomacy and a certain necessary overlap with espionage)ain't bad! Vimes even scores a half-mark on the third: for comandeering a ship and sailing it accross the Circle Sea during the recent outbreak of football with Klatch. Admittedly, he did it by holding a crossbow to the head of the Captain, but it could be argued that an Admiral (who always outranks a mere Captain) has every professional right to do this, and the crossbow is usually accepted as an implicit courtesy detail by most navies.

Re: Annotation. Harry Callahan worked for the San Francisco P.D. (Motto: "Oro en Paz, Fierro en Guerra".) --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] 14:08, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

== Quotes and paraphrasings ==

I've been rereading the watch-cycle of books. A number of times various watchmen qoutes or paraphrases Roundorld movies, TV-series, novels etc.
I'll try to match qoutes and sayings.

First teaser: From which movie is this paraphrased: ''Their worst nightmare. A [[Librarian]] with a badge''

[[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 21:45, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

:Eddie Murphy in {{wp|48_Hrs.|48 Hrs.}} as he bullies the redneck barkeeper; ''I'm your worst nightmare, a nigger with a badge''

[[User:Iron Hippo|Iron Hippo]] 18:44, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheery Littlebottom bursts into the Palace kitchen, fires her crossbow into the ceiling, and shouts in what I imagine would be a very high=pitched voice ''Don't nobody move!'' Which movie? [[User:AgProv|AgProv]] ([[User talk:AgProv|talk]]) 01:01, 13 March 2013 (GMT)

== Armor ==
A pretty unimportant note/question but is the watch armour likely to be bronze or steel? Personally I'm thinking steel, as I'm sure there's a reference in {{G!G!}} or {{MAA}} to a rusty chest plate.--[[User:Megahurts|Megahurts]] 11:34, 18 November 2010 (CET)

Given that there are also referances the metal that loves metal (ie Iron) it would be unlikely they would still be using Bronze. Iron or Steel would seem more likely--[[User:BOZZ|BOZZ]] 11:45, 18 November 2010 (CET)

Thinking Nobby Nobbs here. Any metal going near to his skin will tarnish. I recall that the text notes his armour is in a shocking state and piutted with rust, which suggests iron or steel. Bronze develops a gangrenous-green patina with age and neglect but does not rust. --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 00:22, 13 March 2011 (CET)

== Locations of Watch-houses:- ==
I've just discovered that the Post Office is on a corner of Broad Way and Hill Street. Given Terry's fondness for incorporating references to fictional, film and TV cop shows, he's missing a sitter by not having a Watch sector house on Hill Street! Would the cops here be a tad depressed? --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 00:25, 13 March 2011 (CET)

In fact, a possibly disused Watch House is identified as the old Day Watch house, off Broad Way. So might the Hill Street Watch House exist after all? --[[User:AgProv|AgProv]] 00:39, 13 March 2011 (CET)

Re. location of Old Lemonade factory, I've been musing on whether it's the one suggested here (between Butt's Treat and Squeezebelly Alley) or whether it might instead be on the other side (between Knuckle Passage and Broadway). I have finally found a helpful paragraph in Fifth Elephant describing a scene just near the Brass Bridge: "Colon pulled a couple of round, white‐painted paddles from his belt, sighted on the Watch House semaphore tower peeking over the top of the old lemonade factory, waited until the watching gargoyle signalled him...". So, if the sempahore tower is sighted from the Brass Bridge with the lemonade factory visible in-between, this would seem to confirm the latter. Would others agree with this? Any conflicting evidence found? --[[User:Filipendula|Filipendula]] 14:37, 02 July 2016 (CET)

==TV Series==
I've added a section about the TV series that looks like coming out about the watch--[[User:Revinkeviin]]

==Incomplete sentence?==

Just reading through the last section I noticed this:

:Cable Street has police connections in our world, which see.

See what??? Is it just me or does this not make sense?
:I suspect it means you should follow the link to [[Cable Street]], but I can't edit annotations. They're not required to be true or even reasonable inferences. The preceding sentence is a silly lie that I've complained about for years, but it's all just opinion. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 23:37, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
::It's the phrasing that confused me. The sentence about the potential Holmesian link is a lie? I can see the similarity with names and ''very'' loosely with roles. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch|talk]]) 02:30, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

On another, completely different note, is there a page documenting crimes (in Ankh-Morpork)? If there is it doesn't show up in a search and I couldn't see a section for it here or on the [[Ankh-Morpork]] page. It could be interesting to collect them all together, especially since some are mentioned in {{CAM}} and I'm sure I recall others mentioned in the books (especially by Carrot). --[[User:GallifreyanWitch|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch|talk]]) 23:12, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
:Do you mean [[The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork]]? --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 23:37, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
:: Hmmm, sort of. Perhaps a redirect (I'd of thought the search term 'crime' would have got a result) or a link on the AMCW page may be of use. Also, it's lacking a lot of the info included in {{CAM}} about crime (e.g. Miming, Illegal substances, Street crime, murder, begging, Malicious Morris Dancing, etc) since that page is about the contents of a specific book, rather than the general concept of crime and punishment. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch|talk]]) 02:30, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
:The assertion that the Baker Street Irregulars were a police force is absurd, yes. A study of crime in Ankh-Morpork would be complicated, what with theft and assassination being legal, if performed in accordance with the rules. Feel free to write the article if you have the strength. --[[User:Old Dickens|Old Dickens]] ([[User talk:Old Dickens|talk]]) 03:09, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
:: Holmes does refer to the Baker Street Irregulars as 'the unofficial force', but the Holmesian potential inspiration does seem rather distanced from the impression I get of the Cable Street Particulars by the age of those involved and the positive/negative activities/connotations. As for making a page for crime, I might well do. I haven't been keen on creating pages in the past - trying to follow the 'work on stubs first' rule and I hardly want to go ruining all the hard work that's gone into this brilliant wiki by making pages that aren't up to the same standard as the other content on here. I think the hardest part would be not quoting - at present my main source would be the {{CAM}} and the mentions linked to [[The Laws and Ordinances of the Cities Ankh and Morpork]]. As for guild roles/links I expect the key thing is self-regulation and demarcation under the current rulership and the traditional activities/practices. As you say, it's linked to when the rules surrounding what would normally be considered crimes are obeyed - therefore a big part would be defining those rules, what's acceptable and what isn't. I'll probably sandbox something in Word when I next get a chance. Really should be studying though - Time is flying up to essay hand-ins and exams and today (or rather yesterday since it now 4.58AM) I've spent more time on Discworld stuff then my Uni course - not good. --[[User:GallifreyanWitch|Verity]] ([[User talk:GallifreyanWitch|talk]]) 04:03, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Chain Walk

2016-02-11T17:05:54Z

Filipendula: Correction: Don't Look Back Street parallel to B & P Walk, not Salis Street

This is the [[Riverside Walks|river walk]] carrying on in a widdershins direction from the [[Rim Bank]]. It follows the edge of the [[Isle of Gods]] from [[New Bridge]] around to Regret Street*(D5), where it becomes [[Bull and Purse Walk]]. Don't Look Back Street*(D5) rises here and follows a parallel course to [[Bull and Purse Walk]].

Jimkin Bearhugger's Whiskey

2015-12-29T18:20:57Z

Filipendula:

Jimkin Bearhugger dominates the [[Ankh-Morpork]] whiskey market. His local state-of-the-art distillery produces enormous quantities of spirits, sometimes aging them for several minutes. For the more demanding palate, Bearhugger's also bottles fine whiskies from distilleries in the mountains. The city distillery is also notable as the site of Fred Colon's one-in-a-million bowshot at the dragon in {{G!G!}}.

The phrase "A drop before ye go" (to which Colon observes "I had a drop once, I couldn't stop going") is a nod to the tag line of [[Roundworld]]'s Bell's Scotch, as is the claim 'Aged 8 minutes' (though Bell's do actually allow 8 years).

Bearhugger's Whiskey distillery is located in Wet Alley*(F3), just off Turnwise [[Broadway]]. This location is contrary to information provided in one of the company's classified ads in [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]] which confusingly suggests that Wet Alley is to be found on the [[Isle of Gods]] instead. Presumably this advert was placed by Jimkin Bearhugger himself, his disorientation when submitting his address being perhaps a testament to the oft sought after obliterative properties of one (or more) of his products.

The Bearhugger line of beverages includes (in rough order of increasing quality):
* Bearhugger's Old Selected Dragon's Blood
* Old Persnickety
* Bearhugger's Very Fine
* [[The MacAbre]]

Bearhugger has since branched out into liqueurs to serve the expanding cocktail market:
* [[Old Overcoat]]
* [[Screaming Orgasm|Bearhugger's Whiskey Cream]]

A Mr Bearhugger, possibly a member of the family, is employed by the [[Assassins' Guild]] as Head Brewer.

Guild of Ecdysiasts, Nautchers, Cancanieres and Exponents of Exotic Dance

2015-12-29T13:34:35Z

Filipendula: Correcting 'Fringe Street' to 'Fringe Alley' from The Compleat Ankh-Morpork

Otherwise known as the Strippers' Guild.

Removing your clothes for money is considered perfectly acceptable in [[Ankh-Morpork]]. It is a paradox of life that removing your clothes ''for nothing'' would in most quarters be considered immoral.

Its workers are hardworking, mainly human, women - especially at lunchtimes, when selection of the right sort of clothing means a girl can do a gig at up to six venues in the course of an hour.

The opening of [[Pink PussyCat Club|pole-dancing clubs]] has expanded the membership somewhat, as well as opening up interesting issues of [[demarcation]] with the [[Seamstresses' Guild]].

The non-human membership of the Guild is made up of [[Trolls|trolls]]. Given the troll perspective on life and the passage of time, and the fact that trolls walk around nearly naked in normal circumstances, a troll "stripper" is more accurately a ''dresser'' - she dons more clothes as the act progresses, thus usually causing a riot by the time the fourth or fifth overcoat goes on. Trolls find the human attitude to stripping to be strange and peculiar. "It's not as if you don't already know what to expect", they say, with some truth.

Troll striptease therefore neatly fulfills the Disc condition of the [[Anticrime|existence of a totally opposite quality]] - that everything that exists also has to have its totally opposite state, or else things get a bit unbalanced.

There are no [[Dwarfs|dwarf]] strippers - the Dwarven race finds it difficult to acknowledge as a whole, except in very careful and private localised arrangements between two dwarfs who have known each other for an acceptably long period of time, that there is such a thing as two genders who may differentiate from each other by wearing slightly more masculine or feminine clothing items. Still less ''taking off'' those gender-differentiated items of clothing ''in public''...

[[Igor]] at [[Biers]] is said to have livened up (or more accurately ''imbued with a different but no less valid form of vitality'') the Wednesday lunchtime trade with a sign advertising '''''Dead Girls'''''. Nothing more has been said concerning this outside the [[Undead]] community, but the mind is drawn, unwillingly and remorselessly, to the concept of a [[Zombies|zombie]] stripper. We are assured that this did not catch on, though.

The Guild's president for life is named as Miss [[Dixie "Va Va" Voom]], who still takes a very active interest in the Guild's training programme. Another prominent Guild member is [[Tawneee]], the one-time adoring girlfriend of [[Nobby Nobbs]].

Another registered Guild member is named only as Della, who runs a dance academy on Fringe Alley*(E4 - E5, in between the [[Rim Bank]] and Lower [[Broadway]]). She advertises private pole and fan-dance tuition. Poles are provided, but you must bring your own fans.

==The Members of the Guild==

'''Ecdysiasts''' are, literally, strippers. This term for "one who performs a striptease" was coined by {{wp|Mencken|H. L. Mencken}} in 1940.

'''Cancanieres''' are - presumably - those who indulge in dancing the {{wp|Can_Can|Cancan}}, the mildly naughty French dance in which main the features are the lifting up and manipulation of the skirts, with high kicking and suggestive, provocative body movements.

'''Exponents of Exotic Dance''' doesn't need explicating.

'''Nautchers''' are also {{wp|Nautch|exotic dancers}}, perhaps with a particular Klatchian style. A {{wp|Rudyard_Kipling|Rudyard Kipling}} poem contains the lines:

:''I am the restless mortal mind

:''Which presses on through savage suns.
:''I love the soul of human kind,

:''I am the child who reads and runs.
:''I worship the unaltered East,

:''The winding Grand Trunk Road, the way
:''Of camel-train and dervish-feast

:''And the blue Hills to far Cathay.
:''I love the clatter of bazaars,

:''The attars and the '''nautchers''' song,
:''The faqirs and the blazing stars,

:''I am the hunger of the young
:''That beats on the Eternal Door.

:''I love the Vina's melting sound;
:''All India is my threshing floor

:''And all the world my hunting ground''

A "nautch-bint", in the Indian subcontinent, is a dancer/singer, but the term overlaps "prostitute" or "courtesan". A [[demarcation]] issue to be sorted out with the Seamstresses?

[[Ankh-Morpork]] has more than its fair share of restaurants, catering for ''all'' tastes. There are the normal restaurants for [[Humans]] (from the eat-all-you-can, low class, such as [[Sham Harga's House of Ribs]] to the very high class, such as that referred to in {{H}} where they make the vegetables cost more by cutting them into smaller pieces), rodent-based restaurants catering for the huge [[:Category:Dwarf characters|dwarf]] population (exemplified by the Delicatessen run by [[Gimlet Gimlet|Gimlet]] and his newly opened [[Yo Rat!]] enterprises), and more ''specialised'' restaurants for the various [[:Category:Undead characters|undead species]], for [[Trolls]], and even for [[Goblin]]s.

However, it is in [[Genua]] where restaurants are truly a marvellous experience. The food is incredible, and the drinks unbelievable.

==Additional Ankh-Morpork Restaurants==
Other Ankh-Morpork restaurants and eateries mentioned in [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]] include:
*Three Small Full Bowls on Fringe Alley, [[Isle of Gods]] - an [[Agatean]] Pig's ear soup and noodle bar.

Brindisi is the Discworld equivalent of Italy on [[Roundworld]]. Evaree-ona speaka lika dis iffa dey comea from dere! And if your name is [[Enrico Basilica|Henry Slugg]] and you want to sing opera you're liable to get laughed at, but if you are named Senor [[Enrico Basilica]] - from Brindisi, remember - then you can be a Disc-wide star! The Flying Pastrami Brothers are another example. Their real names were Sidney and Frank Cartwright. Who wants to see acrobats called that? No-one. So they called themselves Marco and Falco Pastrami, and got a job on Monty Bladder's Three-Ring Circus.

The country is near-tropical, rimward and turnwise of [[Genua]] and includes a peninsula into the Gulf of Brindisi. Brindisi is three thousand miles across the continent from [[Ankh-Morpork]], but its language is obviously derived from [[Latatian]], so it was likely an outpost of the [[Morporkian Empire]].

Brindisian immigrants contribute much to the Artistic and Food Service Industries in [[Ankh-Morpork]]. The Brindisian language is not widely spoken there, but it is common in restaurants and at the [[Opera House|opera]]. According to [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]] the cuisine can be sampled at 'La Triviata', a Brindisian restaurant on [[Holofernes Street]] in the [[Isle of Gods]].

==Annotation==

There might be two reasons for Pratchett's choice of ''Brindisi'' as the name for the Italian counterpart of [[Discworld]].
*First, there really is a [[Roundworld]] city called ''Brindisi''. It is located in the Eastern part of the Italian "heel" peninsula, a fact that matches Pratchett's description. In addition, Brindisi itself stands on a small peninsula whose shape resembles a deer head (i.e.: 'Brentesion' in Greek).
*Second, "''brindisi''" is the Italian term for "toast", commonly preceded by the sentence "let's have a...". Choosing "''Brindisi''" as a name for an Italian-like country, Pratchett wisely emphasizes Italian taste for wine - a drink that comes with the typical Brindisian food [[Enrico Basilica]] hates.

Pseudopolis Yard

2015-12-28T18:26:09Z

Filipendula:

Pseudopolis Yard is the name of a circular street in the [[Isle of Gods]], a bit of uptown [[Ankh-Morpork]] almost circled by the river [[Ankh (river)|Ankh]], connected to the rest of uptown Ankh-Morpork by two streets, and to downtown Morpork by four bridges.

Nine streets radiate out from the Yard. Proceeding Turnwise (clockwise) from Lower Broad Way, these are described as:-

*Lower [[Broad Way]] leads back to the [[Patrician's Palace]] and onwards, via the [[Brass Bridge]]. [[Brewer Street]] radiates off halfway along and, via [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]], leads to [[Cheapside]] on the other side of the river.
*[[Holofernes Street]] crosses back to the University quarter and the main Guildhouses on the [[Street of Alchemists]] and [[Peach Pie Street]] via the [[New Bridge]].
*[[Lag Lane]] is a service road to the [[Tanty]] prison that does not cross the river.
* Polestaff Lane runs on the other side of the Tanty and leads onto Don't Look Back Street, which leads onto [[Body Street]] and terminates at the riverside [[Chain Walk]].
*[[Salis Street]] leads, via one of the swingbridges over [[The Cut|the Cut]], to the Ankh side and the crossroads with [[Prouts]] and [[Park Lane]].
* The next street is [[Quilldaisy Stairs]], which goes directly to [[Pon's Bridge]] towards the Shades. On the far side of Pons it is named as [[Sheer Street]].
*[[Squeezebelly Alley]] does not cross the river. which ends at the riverbank at [[By-Your-Leave Walk]] and does not cross the river.
*[[The Butts|Butt's Treat]] also does not cross the river, but it leads to the archery practice fields.

It can therefore be seen from the Mappe that the major arterial roadway through the city of Ankh-Morpork runs [[Hubwards Gate]] - Upper Broadway-Patrician's Palace - Brass Bridge-Lower Broad Way - Pseudopolis Yard - Salis Street - the Cut - [[Park Lane]] - [[Edgeway Road]] - [[Rimwards Gate]]. This road can be traced as one completely straight unbroken road right through the City from Gate to Gate.

The [[Opera House]] stands at the dead centre of Pseudopolis Yard, which, in some theories, makes it the absolute dead centre of the City. On the other side of the street, the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]]'s headquarters can be found. Given its links to policing, possibly a reference to {{wp|Scotland_Yard|Scotland Yard}}

According to [[Book:The Compleat Ankh-Morpork|The Compleat Ankh-Morpork]], Pseudopolis Yard also offers a choice of two public houses - 'The Singing Hippos' on the corner of Lower [[Broadway]], opposite the Watch House, and 'The Stab in the Back' on the corner of [[Salis Street]].
