look what i've found at the Terry Pratchett site "L-Space Web" (http://www.lspace.org/), in the annotations to the discworld novel "Moving Pictures": > [p. 58/48] "'This is Gaffer Bird,' beamed Silverfish." > > 'Gaffer' not only means 'old man', but a gaffer is also the head > electrician in a film production unit, charged principally with taking > care of the lighting. Gaffer's tape is a less sticky form of duct tape, > used universally in the theatre, concert and movie worlds to keep > people from stumbling over cables. > > If you enjoy annoying people, go over to the Kate Bush newsgroup > rec.music.gaffa, and ask there if her song 'Suspended in Gaffa' > refers to Gaffer's tape or not. Take revenge! Ask for the words of the "Hedgehog Song" on alt.fan.pratchett! Ask if Mr. Pratchett reads the newsgroup! Ask... :-)) Rolf p.s.: 1) the song is somewhere in the aforementioned archive 2) yes.
