Bill Rincewind

PumpkinZebub:

Bill Rincewind appears briefly in {{TLC}}. He is the Archchancellor of [[Bugarup University]], and probably, like [[Lavaeolus]], a relative of [[Rincewind]].

He is also mentioned in {{UA}}. Ridcully is quite happy for Bill to call himself Archchancellor as he is on another continent, i.e. a long way away. They correspond and also send each other unpopular students as part of an exchange program. The rise of [[Brazeneck College]] in [[Pseudopolis]], and the [[Dean]] calling himself 'Archchancellor' is a totally different matter...

==Annotation==
There is a mild British affliction of having a distant relative in Australia, from whom you may get the odd postcard or second cousin who wants to see Europe and has turned up to stay for the week. With their mate Bruce, and his girlfriend Shelia.

Denephew Boot

PumpkinZebub:

'''Denephew Boot''' is a wizard credited with the invention of the term “Pavlovian response”. He found that by a system of rewards and punishments, a dog could be trained to eat a strawberry meringue at the ringing of a bell. His parents had wanted a girl expecting to call her Denise.

== Annotations ==
It can be assumed that the strawberry meringue was more specifically [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlova_(dessert) pavlova], a meringue-based dessert originating in either Australia or New Zealand. (Apparently, it's a whole thing.)

==Blurb==
[[Discworld (world)|Discworld]] goes to war...

A weathercock has risen from the [[Circle Sea|sea]] of Discworld. Suddenly you can tell which way the wind is blowing. A [[Leshp|new land]] has surfaced, and so have [[Ankh-Morpork|old feuds]]. And as [[Klatch_(country)|two armies]] march, Commander Vimes of the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]] has got just a few hours to deal with a crime so big that there's no law against it. It's called "war."

He's facing unpleasant foes who are out to get him... and that's just the people on [[Ronald Rust|*his* side]]. The enemy might be worse. And his pocket Dis-organiser says he's got "Die" under "Things To Do Today". But he'd better not, because the world's cleverest inventor and its most devious politician are on their way to the battlefield with a little package that's guaranteed to stop a battle...

Discworld goes to war, with armies of sardines, warriors, fishermen, [[curious squid|squid]], and at least one very camp follower.
