Another book that explored the Luggage's 'sexuality', if such a word can be used to refer to a travel accessory.

Also the 2nd greatest thief in Ankh-Morpork...and that's really saying something with all the competition he must have!

The multi-talented man from Monty Python. Nigel Planer also supplied a voice for the 2nd Discworld game as one of the students.

As one of Diamanda's coven and the only one with any natural witching ability. Maskerade was her first main part tho'.

Answer: Nobby

Because he looked like his cousin, Errol. Poor cousin :)
