Returned from Berlin - and canon!

Why are the German trains as iffy as the Ankh-Morpork postal service?? I was half an hour late arriving back home yesterday because of Train Related Problems. I didn't miss any event or anything, it's just that it was my time anyway, and spent enough of it on the underworldly train as it was. It was because of a bomb from World War II. being found on the rail building site near Augsburg station. It's been there for sixty effin' years, at the same place where all the trains went, and it never exploded (or people would have noticed) - so why start worrying now??

One good thing: I finished re-reading "Thief of Time", and noticed two pieces of text that have an immediate impact on what things in our discworld_rpg should be like, but aren't. So I'll do a mini-Ji and put those two passages here (behind cuts,  due to considerations of spoiler alerts and  randomly-filling-up-other-people's-flists) so we can reconsider.

While the first one is not that decisive, just So Not Glorious for the Dysk people, the second one puts poor ponderstibbons in a bit of a pickle, as he obviously lied to Beth on account of something that's important to him, and if that vampire finds out (for example, by walking down Broad Way and reading a plaque on a door), he's going to mercilessly poke fun  at Ponder.  Or demand - reparations. Oh dear.

And now for the real whopper - how could we have overlooked it?? Well, to be honest, it's neither on the Mapp, not in the New Discworld Companion, although that has all the other new canon bits from "Thief of Time". We could have remembered, though. We'll have to retcon our way out of that in some way now.
